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.

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?

Selected passage

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.
