    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.

    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.

    18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge against him of such things as I supposed:

    19but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

    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.
