And if I give you counsel, will you not listen to me? 16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life. 17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If you will assuredly go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire, and you shall live, and your house. 18 But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand. 19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. 20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the voice of the LORD, which I speak to you: so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live. 21 But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD has shown me: 22 And, behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Your friends have set you on and have prevailed against you; your feet are sunk in the mire, and they have turned away back. 23 So they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you shall not escape from their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon; and you shall cause this city to be burned with fire. 24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die. 25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and say to you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you: 26 Then you shall say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there. 27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived. 28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken; and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.

    9But Festus, willing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged regarding these things before me?

    10Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.

    11For if I am an offender, or have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die: but if there is nothing of these charges against me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.

    12Then Festus, after he had conferred with the council, answered, Have you appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go.

    13And after some days, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.

    14And when they had been there many days, Festus disclosed Paul's case to the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix,

    15about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a judgment against him.

    16To whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before he who is accused meets his accusers face to face, and has an opportunity to present his defense concerning the charges against him.

    17Therefore, when they had come here, without any delay, I sat on the judgment seat the next day, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

    4But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would shortly go there.

    5Let those of you who are able, come down with me and accuse this man, if there is any fault in him.

    6And when he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, commanded Paul to be brought.

    20And because I was uncertain of how to investigate such matters, I asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

    21But when Paul appealed to be kept for the hearing before Augustus, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.

    22Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, he said, you shall hear him.

    23So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and had entered into the audience hall with the chief captains and prominent men of the city, at Festus' command, Paul was brought in.

    24And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, you see this man, about whom all the Jews have petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

    25But when I found that he had committed nothing deserving of death, and since he himself has appealed to Augustus, I have decided to send him.

    26I have nothing definite to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him before you, and especially before you, O King Agrippa, so that after the examination I may have something to write.

    31And when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, This man does nothing deserving of death or chains.

    32Then Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
