Paul before Festus

Act 25:1Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Yerushalayim from Caesarea.

Act 25:2Then the Kohen Gadol and the principal men of the Yehudim informed him against Sha'ul, and they begged him,

Act 25:3asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Yerushalayim; plotting to kill him on the way.

Act 25:4However Festus answered that Sha'ul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

Act 25:5

Act 25:5"Let them therefore," said he, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."

Act 25:6

Act 25:6When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Sha'ul to be brought.

Act 25:7

Act 25:7When he had come, the Yehudim who had come down from Yerushalayim stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,

Act 25:8

Act 25:8while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Yehudim, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."

Act 25:9

Act 25:9But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Yehudim, answered Sha'ul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Yerushalayim, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"

Act 25:10

Act 25:10But Sha'ul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Yehudim, as you also know very well.

Act 25:11

Act 25:11For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I don't refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!"

Act 25:12

Act 25:12Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go."

Act 25:13

Act 25:13Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.

Act 25:14

Act 25:14As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Sha'ul's case before the King, saying, "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

Act 25:15

Act 25:15about whom, when I was at Yerushalayim, the chief Kohanim and the Zakenim of the Yehudim informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

Act 25:16

Act 25:16To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

Act 25:17

Act 25:17When therefore they had come together here, I didn't delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

Act 25:18

Act 25:18Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;

Act 25:19

Act 25:19but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Yeshua, who was dead, whom Sha'ul affirmed to be alive.

Act 25:20

Act 25:20Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing go to Yerushalayim and there be judged concerning these matters.

Act 25:21

Act 25:21But when Sha'ul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."

Act 25:22

Act 25:22Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."

Paul before Agrippa

Act 25:23

Act 25:23So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Sha'ul was brought in.

Act 25:24

Act 25:24Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Yehudim petitioned me, both at Yerushalayim and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

Act 25:25

Act 25:25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

Act 25:26

Act 25:26Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, king Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write.

Act 25:27

Act 25:27For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
