25:1NOW when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.

25:2Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

25:3And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

25:4But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

25:5Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

25:6And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

25:7And 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.

Selected passage

25:8While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cæsar, have I offended any thing at all.

25:9But 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?

25:10Then said Paul, I stand at Cæsar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

25:11For 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 Cæsar.

25:12Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cæsar? unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
