    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.

    25But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soundness.

    26For the king knows of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

    29And 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.

    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.
