MKJV(i)
1 Then entering the province, after three days Festus went from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2 And the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him
3 asking a favor against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, making a plot to kill him on way.
4 Then indeed Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea; he himself would depart shortly.
5 Then he said, those having power among you may go down with me. If there is a thing amiss in this man, let them accuse him.
6 And staying among them more than ten days, going down to Caesarea, on the next day sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.
7 And he having come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around and brought many charges against Paul, which they could not prove.
8 Defending himself, Paul said, Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything.
9 But Festus, wanting to please the Jews, answered Paul and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem and be judged there before me about these things?
10 But Paul said, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.
