Great(i) 1 When Festus had receaued the offyce, after thre dayes, he ascended from Cesarea vnto Ierusalem. 2 Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes, of Paul. And they besought hym, 3 and desyred fauour agaynst hym, that he wolde sende for hym to Ierusalem: and they layde awayte for hym in the waye, to kyll hym. 4 Festus answered, that Paul shulde be kept. at Cesarea, but that he hym selfe wold shorly departe thyther. 5 Let them therfore (sayde he) which among you are able, come downe with vs, and accuse hym, yf there be any fawte in the man. 6 When he had taryed there amonge them more then ten dayes, he wente downe vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sat downe in the iudgement seate, and commaunded Paul to be brought. 7 Which when he was come, the Iewes which were come from Ierusalem, stode aboute hym, and layde many and greueous complayntes agaynst Paul, whych they coulde not proue, 8 as longe as he answered for hym self that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes, nether agaynst the temple, nor yet agaynst Cesar offended any thynge at all. 9 Festus wyllynge to do the Iewes a pleasure, answered Paul, and sayde: wylt thou go vp to Ierusalem, and there be iudged of these thynges before me? 10 Then sayde Paul: I stande at Cesares iudgement seate, where I ought to be iudged. To the Iewes haue I no harme done, as thou very well knowest.
