Book 44 : ACTS - Chapter 025

025:001

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

025:002

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

025:003

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

025:004

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

025:005

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

025:006

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

025:007

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

025:008

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

025:009

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

025:010

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

025:011

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

025:012

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

025:013

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

025:014

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

025:015

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

025:016

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

025:017

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

025:018

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

025:019

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

025:020

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

025:021

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

025:022

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

025:023

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

025:024

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

025:025

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

025:026

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