Acts 25:1-10

MSTC(i) 1 When Festus was come into the province, after three days, he ascended from Caesarea unto Jerusalem. 2 Then informed him the high priests, and the chief of the Jews, of Paul. And they besought him, 3 and desired favour against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, and laid wait for him in the way to kill him. 4 Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea: but that he himself would shortly depart thither. 5 "Let them therefore," said he, "which among you are able to do it come down with us and accuse him, if there be any fault in the man." 6 When he had tarried there more than ten days he departed unto Caesarea, and the next day sat down in the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought. 7 When he was come, the Jews which were come from Jerusalem came about him and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul: which they could not prove 8 as long as he answered for himself, that he had neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar offended anything at all. 9 Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, "Wilt thou go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?" 10 Then said Paul, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I no harm done, as thou verily well knowest.
