    1Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,

    2and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him `the things' against Paul, and were calling on him,

    3asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.

    4Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,

    6and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;

    7and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,

    8he making defence -- `Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar -- did I commit any sin.'

    9And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'

    10and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;

    11for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!'
