And the next day he took his seat onthe tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought. 25 : 7 When he had arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against himthat they could not prove. 25 : 8 Paul argued in his defense,Neitheragainstthe law of the Jews, nor against the temple, noragainst Caesar have I committed any offense. 25 : 9 But Festus,wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul,Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me? 25 : 10 But Paul said,I am standing before Caesar'stribunal, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself know very well. 25 : 11 If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them.I appeal to Caesar. 25 : 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered,To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you shall go. 25 : 13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus. 25 : 14 And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying,There is a man left prisoner by Felix, 25 : 15 and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid out their caseagainst him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him. 25 : 16 I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up anyonebefore the accused met the accusers face to face and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him. 25 : 17 So when they came together here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat onthe tribunal and ordered the man to be brought. 25 : 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed. 25 : 19 Rather theyhad certain points of dispute with him about their own religion and abouta certain Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive. 25 : 20 Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, Iasked whether he wanted to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them. 25 : 21 Butwhen Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision ofthe emperor, I ordered him to be held until I could send him to Caesar. 25 : 22 ThenAgrippa said to Festus,I would like to hear the man myself.Tomorrow,said he,you will hear him. 25 : 23 So on the next dayAgrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 25 : 24 And Festus said,King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whomthe whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here,shouting that he ought not to live any longer. 25 : 25 But I found thathe had done nothing deserving death. Andas he himself appealed tothe emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him. 25 : 26 But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write. 25 : 27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.
