    23 So 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.

    24 And 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.

    25 But 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.

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

    9 But 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?

    10 Then 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.

    11 For 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.

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

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

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

    16 To 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.

    17 Therefore, 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.

    29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only you, but also all who hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.
