1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Cesarea.

2And the chief priests and principal men of the Jews went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,

stylus

Acts 25:15, Acts 25:15, Romans 3:12, Romans 3:19, Acts 24:1

3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.

stylus

Acts 9:24, Acts 23:12, Acts 23:15, Acts 9:24, Acts 23:12

4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea: and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.

stylus

Acts 24:23, Acts 24:23

5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.

stylus

Acts 25:18, Acts 25:19, Acts 25:25, Acts 25:16, John 18:29

6And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, he sat in the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought.

stylus

Acts 25:17, Acts 25:10, Acts 25:17, Acts 25:10, Matthew 27:19

7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievious causes, which they could not prove:

stylus

Acts 24:13, Acts 24:13, Luke 23:2, Acts 25:24, Luke 23:10

8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.

stylus

Acts 24:12, Acts 28:17, Acts 24:12, Acts 28:17, 2 Corinthians 1:12

9But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things before me?

stylus

Acts 24:27, Acts 24:27, Acts 25:20, Acts 12:3, Acts 25:20

10Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.

stylus

2 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Corinthians 4:2, Acts 25:25, Acts 28:18, Acts 26:31

11For if I have injured them or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.

stylus

Acts 28:19, Acts 28:19, Acts 26:32, Acts 26:32, Acts 25:25

12Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.

13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute Festus.

Acts 8:40, Acts 26:27, Acts 26:28, 2 Samuel 8:10, 1 Samuel 25:14

14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.

stylus

Acts 24:27, Acts 24:27

15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the ancients of the Jews came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.

stylus

Esther 3:9, Luke 23:23, Luke 18:3, Luke 18:5, Acts 25:1

16To whom I answered: it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.

stylus

John 7:51, John 7:51, Deuteronomy 19:17, Deuteronomy 19:18, Deuteronomy 19:17

17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.

stylus

Acts 25:6, Acts 25:10, Acts 25:6, Acts 25:10

18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of this which I thought ill of:

stylus

19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

stylus

Acts 23:29, Acts 23:29, Acts 18:15, Acts 18:15, 1 Corinthians 15:3

20I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things.

stylus

Acts 25:9, Acts 25:9

21But Paul, appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.

stylus

2 Timothy 4:16, 2 Timothy 4:16, Acts 25:10, Acts 25:11, Luke 2:1

22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

stylus

Acts 9:15, Acts 9:15, Matthew 10:18, Luke 21:12, Isaiah 52:15

23And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp and had entered into the hall of audience with the tribunes and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment, Paul was brought forth.

stylus

Acts 26:30, Acts 25:13, Acts 26:30, Acts 25:13, 1 John 2:16

24And Festus saith: King Agrippa and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

stylus

Acts 22:22, Acts 25:7, Acts 22:22, Acts 25:7, Acts 25:2

25Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

stylus

Acts 23:29, Acts 23:29, Acts 25:11, Acts 25:12, Acts 25:11

26Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause, I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, examination being made, I may have what to write.

stylus

Acts 26:2, Acts 26:3, Acts 26:2, Acts 26:3

27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
