YAH HUDIYM SEEK TO SUMMON PAULOS
So Phestus embarks to the province; and after three days he ascends from Kaisaria to Yeru Shalem. 2 And the archpriest and the preeminent of the Yah Hudiym manifest him against Paulos, and entreat him, 3 and ask charism against him to summon him to Yeru Shalem - lurking in the way to take him out. 4 So indeed Phestus answers, to guard Paulos at Kaisaria, and that he himself is about to depart quickly. 5 So have those among you, says he, who are able, go down with me and accuse this man - if there be any wickedness in him. 6 And he tarries among them more than ten days, and descends to Kaisaria; and on the morrow, sitting on the bamah, summons to bring Paulos: 7 and when he comes, the Yah Hudiym who descended from Yeru Shalem stand all around, and bring many and burdenous accusations against Paulos which they cannot show. 8 And he pleads for himself, Neither to the torah of the Yah Hudiym nor to the priestal precinct nor yet to the Kaisar have I sinned somewhat. 9 But Phestus wills to lay a charism on the Yah Hudiym, and answers Paulos, saying, Will you to ascend to Yeru Shalem, and there be judged by me concerning these? 10
PAULOS CALLS ON THE KAISAR
But Paulos says, I stand at the bamah of the Kaisar where I must be judged: I injured not the Yah Hudiym, as you very well know. 11 For indeed, if I injured or transacted somewhat worthy of death, I shun not to die: and if there be none of these whereof these accuse me, no one can give me as a charism to them: I call upon the Kaisar. 12 Then Phestus, having talked with the council, answers, Appeal to the Kaisar? To the Kaisar you go! 13 And some days having passed, sovereign Agrippa and Bernice arrive in Kaisaria to salute Phestus. 14 And tarrying there many days, Phestus propounds the cause of Paulos to the sovereign, wording, There is some man left prisoner by Phelix: 15 about whom, when I became in Yeru Shalem, the archpriests and the elders of the Yah Hudiym manifested, asking to have judgment against him: 16 to whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans to give any human as a charism for destruction, ere the accused has the accusers face to face, and take his pleading concerning his accusation. 17 So, they came here, and I, making no delay, on the morrow I sat on the bamah, and summoned to bring the man forth 18 - concerning whom, when the accusers stood, they brought no accusation of such as I surmised: 19 but had some questions against him concerning their own demon-dreading, and about one Yah Shua, who is dead - whom Paulos professes to be alive. 20 And being perplexed about these questions, I worded whether he willed to go to Yeru Shalem, and there be judged concerning these matters. 21 But Paulos called to be guarded to the diagnosis of Sebastos; and I summoned to keep him until I send him to the Kaisar. 22 And Agrippa says to Phestus, I also will to hear this human myself. Tomorrow, says he, you hear him. 23 So on the morrow, with much fantasy, Agrippa and Bernice come and enter the auditorium, with the chiliarchs and eminent men of the city; and at the summons of Phestus, Paulos is brought. 24 And Phestus says, Sovereign Agrippa, and all men present together, observe this man, about whom all the multitude of the Yah Hudiym interceded with me - both at Yeru Shalem and also here, crying that he must not live any longer. 25 But I overtake that he transacted naught worthy of death, and that he himself calls to Sebastos, I judge to send him 26 - about whom I have naught to scribe to my adoni. So I bring him by you - and especially by you, sovereign Agrippa, that examination having become, I have somewhat to scribe. 27 For I thought it irrational to send a prisoner, and not to signify the accusations laid against him.
