Acts 25 Cross References - WPNT

1 Now upon assuming the province, after three days Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem. 2 Then the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul and started importuning him, 3 begging a favor from him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem—preparing an ambush to kill him along the way. 4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, he himself being about to go there shortly. 5 He said, “So let those who are competent among you go down with me; if there is anything against this man, let them accuse him”. 6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; the next day he sat on the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought. 7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem made a circle, bringing against Paul many serious charges that they could not prove, 8 while he defended himself: “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar did I commit any sin.” 9 But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul by saying, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to be judged by me there concerning these things?” 10 So Paul said: “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as even you know very well. 11 Now if I really am in the wrong and have perpetrated anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if there is nothing to the things of which these are accusing me, no one has the right to give me to them. I appeal to Caesar!” 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with his counsel, answered: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go!” 13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived in Caesarea to congratulate Festus. 14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying: “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; 15 about whom, when I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for punishment against him; 16 to whom I answered that it is not a custom with Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the accusation. 17 So when they had assembled here, without any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought. 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge against him of such things as I supposed, 19 but had certain issues against him about their religion, and about a certain dead Jesus whom Paul affirmed to be living. 20 And since I was at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be judged there concerning these things. 21 But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of the Emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I can send him to Caesar.” 22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I myself would also like to hear the man”. So he said, “Tomorrow you shall hear him”. 23 So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp and entered the auditorium, with the commanding officers and the more prominent men of the city, at Festus’ command Paul was brought in. 24 And Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all you men who are here with us: consider this man, about whom the whole Jewish community petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, vociferating that it was not fitting for him to live any longer. 25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, besides he himself having appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him. 26 But I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination I may have something to write. 27 Because it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him.”

Release to us Barabbas!”— 19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain insurrection in the city, and for murder. 20 Then Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again. 21 But they just kept shouting: “Crucify! Crucify him!”

Acts 25:3-3

3 begging a favor from him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem—preparing an ambush to kill him along the way. 4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, he himself being about to go there shortly. 5 He said, “So let those who are competent among you go down with me; if there is anything against this man, let them accuse him”.

Acts 25:9

9 But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul by saying, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to be judged by me there concerning these things?” 10 So Paul said: “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as even you know very well.

Acts 25:10-11

10 So Paul said: “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as even you know very well. 11 Now if I really am in the wrong and have perpetrated anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if there is nothing to the things of which these are accusing me, no one has the right to give me to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

Acts 25:11-12

11 Now if I really am in the wrong and have perpetrated anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if there is nothing to the things of which these are accusing me, no one has the right to give me to them. I appeal to Caesar!” 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with his counsel, answered: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go!” 13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived in Caesarea to congratulate Festus.

Acts 25:15

15 about whom, when I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for punishment against him; 16 to whom I answered that it is not a custom with Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the accusation. 17 So when they had assembled here, without any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought. 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge against him of such things as I supposed, 19 but had certain issues against him about their religion, and about a certain dead Jesus whom Paul affirmed to be living. 20 And since I was at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be judged there concerning these things. 21 But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of the Emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I can send him to Caesar.” 22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I myself would also like to hear the man”. So he said, “Tomorrow you shall hear him”. 23 So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp and entered the auditorium, with the commanding officers and the more prominent men of the city, at Festus’ command Paul was brought in. 24 And Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all you men who are here with us: consider this man, about whom the whole Jewish community petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, vociferating that it was not fitting for him to live any longer. 25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, besides he himself having appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

Acts 26:1

1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself”. So Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense: 2 “I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, in that I am to make my defense before you this day concerning the things of which I am accused by the Jews, 3 especially because you are expert in all the Jewish customs and issues; therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

Acts 26:9-11

9 “However, I myself thought that I had to perpetrate many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Natsorean; 10 I actually did this in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. 11 Yes, I punished them often in every synagogue, trying to force them to blaspheme; I was so excessively enraged against them that I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

Acts 26:22-23

22 So then, having experienced the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying to both small and great, saying nothing beyond what both the prophets and Moses said would happen 23 —that the Messiah would suffer; that as the first to rise from the dead He would proclaim light to both ‘the people’ and the ethnic nations.”

Acts 26:27-28

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” 28 So Agrippa said to Paul, “You will soon persuade me to become a Christian!”

Acts 26:30

30 Upon his saying this, the king stood up, along with the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them; 31 and when they had withdrawn they started talking among themselves, saying, “This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains”. 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free, if he had not appealed to Caesar”.

Acts 26:32-27:1

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free, if he had not appealed to Caesar”.

Acts 28:16

16 Now when we entered Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander; but Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who guarded him. 17 It happened that after three days Paul called together the leaders of the Jews; and when they had assembled he said to them: “Men, brothers, though I had done nothing against ‘the people’ or the ancestral customs, still I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, 18 who, when they had examined me, were intending to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death. 19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

Acts 28:21

21 So they said to him: “We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brothers who came reported or spoken any evil about you.

Romans 3:8

8 However, we must not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come” (as some people slanderously claim that we do)—their condemnation is well deserved!

Romans 3:12-19

12 All have turned aside, together they have been made useless; there is no one who shows kindness, no, not so much as one.” 13 “Their throat is an opened grave; they habitually deceive with their tongues.” “Viper’s venom is under their lips”; 14 “whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 ruin and wretchedness are in their paths, 17 and the way of peace they have not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world become accountable to God.

Romans 15:28-29

28 So when I have finished this and have sealed to them this ‘fruit’, I will go by way of you to Spain. 29 And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of the Christ.

1 Corinthians 7:31

31 and those who use this world as though not abusing it; because this world’s mode is passing away.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

3 Because I transmitted to you at first that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

1 Corinthians 15:14-20

14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is empty, and so is your faith! 15 Further, we are even discovered to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified about God that He raised the Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if no dead are raised, neither has Christ been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If it is only for this life that we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable. 20 But indeed, Christ has been raised from the dead; He became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

2 Corinthians 1:12

12 Now this is our boast: the testimony of our conscience that we have conducted ourselves in the world with openness and godly sincerity, not by fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.

2 Corinthians 4:2

2 Rather, we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in deception nor falsifying the Word of God, but by the open proclamation of the Truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience, in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 5:10

10 Because we must all be exposed before Christ’s Judgment Seat, that each one may receive his due for the things he did while in the body, whether good or bad.

Philippians 1:12-14

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the events against me have actually turned out for the advancement of the Gospel: 13 as a result, it has become evident to the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that I am in chains for Christ; 14 also, most of the brothers in the Lord have been influenced by my chains to be much bolder, to speak the Word fearlessly.

Philippians 1:20

20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in anything but be truly bold, so that now as always Christ will be glorified in my person, whether by life or by death

1 Thessalonians 2:15

15 (the ones who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, who have persecuted us, who do not please God and are hostile to everybody,

2 Timothy 4:16

16 At my first defense no one came to help me, but all deserted me. May it not be held against them.

James 1:11

11 For the sun rises with its burning heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls off and the beauty of its face perishes. Just so the rich man will be withered in his undertakings.

James 2:6

6 But you dishonored the poor one. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into courts?

1 Peter 1:24

24 For: “All flesh is as grass, and all man’s glory as flower of grass. The grass withers and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.”

1 Peter 4:14-16

14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of the glory and of God has come to rest upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 Now don’t any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in others’ affairs; 16 but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

1 John 2:16

16 Because everything in the world—the craving of the flesh and the craving of the eyes and the pretension of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
