AC-25:1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three
days he
ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
AC-25:2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed
him against
Paul, and besought him,
AC-25:3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for
him to
Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
AC-25:4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at
Caesarea, and that he
himself would depart shortly [thither].
AC-25:5 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.
AC-25:6 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.
AC-25:7 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.
AC-25:8 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.
AC-25:9 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?
AC-25:10 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.
AC-25:11 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.
AC-25:12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council,
answered, Hast
thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
AC-25:13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came
unto Caesarea to
salute Festus.
AC-25:14 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:
AC-25:15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests
and the elders
of the Jews informed [me], desiring [to have] judgment against
him.
AC-25:16 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.
AC-25:17 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.
AC-25:18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought
none accusation
of such things as I supposed:
AC-25:19 But had certain questions against him of their own
superstition, and
of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
AC-25:20 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.
