    1Now when Festus had come into the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

    2Then the high priest and the leaders of the Jews informed him against Paul and pleaded with him,

    3requesting a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

    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.

    7And when he arrived, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around and brought many serious charges against Paul, which they could not prove.

    8While he answered for himself, I have not offended against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar.

    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.

    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.

    27For it seems unreasonable to send a prisoner without signifying the charges against him.
