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

Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

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

Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

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

And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would shortly go there.

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

Let those of you who are able, come down with me and accuse this man, if there is any fault in him.

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

And 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.

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

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

And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

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

While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

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?

But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

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.

Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

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.

For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

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

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

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

And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.

And 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,

And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

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

About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

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.

To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

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.

Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

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

Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:

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

But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

And 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.

And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

But when Paul appealed to be kept for the hearing before Augustus, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.

But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, he said, you shall hear him.

Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

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.

And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

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.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

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.

But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

I 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.

Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

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

For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
