1 Now 3767 when Festus 5347 was come 1910 into the province 1885, after 3326 three 5140 days 2250 he ascended 305 from 575 Caesarea 2542 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414.
2 Then 1161 the high priest 749 and 2532 the chief 4413 of the Jews 2453 informed him 1718 against 2596 Paul 3972, and 2532 besought 3870 him 846,
3 And desired 154 favour 5485 against 2596 him 846, that 3704 he would send for 3343 him 846 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419, laying 4160 wait 1747 in 2596 the way 3598 to kill 337 him 846.
4 But 3303 3767 Festus 5347 answered 611, that Paul 3972 should be kept 5083 at 1722 Caesarea 2542, and 1161 that he himself 1438 would 3195 depart 1607 1722 shortly 5034 thither.
5 Let them therefore 3767, said 5346 he, which among 1722 you 5213 are able 1415, go down with 4782 me, and accuse 2723 this 846 man 435, if 1536 0 there be 2076 any 1536 wickedness in 1722 him 5129.
6 And 1161 when he had tarried 1304 among 1722 them 846 more 4119 than 2228 ten 1176 days 2250, he went down 2597 unto 1519 Caesarea 2542; and the next day 1887 sitting 2523 on 1909 the judgment seat 968 commanded 2753 Paul 3972 to be brought 71.
7 And 1161 when he 846 was come 3854, the Jews 2453 which came down 2597 from 575 Jerusalem 2414 stood round about 4026, and 2532 laid 5342 many 4183 and grievous 926 complaints 157 against 2596 Paul 3972, which 3739 they could 2480 not 3756 prove 584.
8 While he answered 626 for himself 846, Neither 3754 3777 against 1519 the law 3551 of the Jews 2453, neither 3777 against 1519 the temple 2411, nor yet 3777 against 1519 Caesar 2541, have I offended 264 any thing at all 5100.
9 But 1161 Festus 5347, willing 2309 to do 2698 the Jews 2453 a pleasure 5485, answered 611 Paul 3972, and said 2036, Wilt thou 2309 go up 305 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414, and there 1563 be judged 2919 of 4012 these things 5130 before 1909 me 1700?
10 Then 1161 said 2036 Paul 3972, I stand 1510 2476 at 1909 Caesar's 2541 judgment seat 968, where 3757 I 3165 ought 1163 to be judged 2919: to the Jews 2453 have I done 91 0 no 3762 wrong 91, as 5613 2532 thou 4771 very well 2566 2573 knowest 1921.
11 For 1063 if 1487 3303 I be an offender 91, or 2532 have committed 4238 any thing 5100 worthy 514 of death 2288, I refuse 3868 not 3756 to die 599: but 1161 if 1487 there be 2076 none 3762 of these things whereof these 3778 accuse 2723 me 3450, no man 3762 may 1410 deliver 5483 me 3165 unto them 846. I appeal unto 1941 Caesar 2541.
12 Then 5119 Festus 5347, when he had conferred 4814 with 3326 the council 4824, answered 611, Hast thou appealed unto 1941 Caesar 2541? unto 1909 Caesar 2541 shalt thou go 4198.
13 And 1161 after 1230 certain 5100 days 2250 king 935 Agrippa 67 and 2532 Bernice 959 came 2658 unto 1519 Caesarea 2542 to salute 782 Festus 5347.
14 And 1161 when 5613 they had been 1304 there 1563 many 4119 days 2250, Festus 5347 declared 394 Paul's 3972 cause 2596 unto the king 935, saying 3004, There is 2076 a certain 5100 man 435 left 2641 in bonds 1198 by 5259 Felix 5344:
15 About 4012 whom 3739, when 1096 0 I 3450 was 1096 at 1519 Jerusalem 2414, the chief priests 749 and 2532 the elders 4245 of the Jews 2453 informed 1718 me, desiring 154 to have judgment 1349 against 2596 him 846.
16 To 4314 whom 3739 I answered 611, 3754 It is 2076 not 3756 the manner 1485 of the Romans 4514 to deliver 5483 any 5100 man 444 to 1519 die 684, before 4250 that 2228 he which is accused 2723 have 2192 the accusers 2725 face to face 2596 4383, and have 2983 licence 5117 to answer for himself 627 concerning 4012 the crime laid against him 1462.
17 Therefore 3767, when they 846 were come 4905 hither 1759, without 4160 any 3367 delay 311 on the morrow 1836 I sat 2523 on 1909 the judgment seat 968, and commanded 2753 the man 435 to be brought forth 71.
18 Against 4012 whom 3739 when the accusers 2725 stood up 2476, they brought 2018 none 3762 accusation 156 of such things as 3739 I 1473 supposed 5282:
19 But 1161 had 2192 certain 5100 questions 2213 against 4314 him 846 of 4012 their own 2398 superstition 1175, and 2532 of 4012 one 5100 Jesus 2424, which was dead 2348, whom 3739 Paul 3972 affirmed 5335 to be alive 2198.
20 And 1161 because I 1473 doubted 639 of 1519 such 5127 manner 4012 of questions 2214, I asked 3004 him whether 1487 he would 1014 go 4198 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419, and there 2546 be judged 2919 of 4012 these matters 5130.
21 But 1161 when Paul 3972 had appealed 1941 to be reserved 5083 846 unto 1519 the hearing 1233 of Augustus 4575, I commanded 2753 him 848 to be kept 5083 till 2193 I might send 3992 him 846 to 4314 Caesar 2541.
22 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 unto 4314 Festus 5347, I would 1014 also 2532 hear 191 the man 444 myself 846. To morrow 839, 1161 said 5346 he, thou shalt hear 191 him 846.
23 And on the morrow 1887, when 3767 Agrippa 67 was come 2064, and 2532 Bernice 959, with 3326 great 4183 pomp 5325, and 2532 was entered 1525 into 1519 the place of hearing 201, with 4862 5037 the chief captains 5506, and 2532 principal 1851 men 435 of 5607 the city 4172 2596, at 2532 Festus 5347' commandment 2753 Paul 3972 was brought forth 71.
24 And 2532 Festus 5347 said 5346, King 935 Agrippa 67, and 2532 all 3956 men 435 which 3588 are here present 4840 with us 2254, ye see 2334 this man 5126, about 4012 whom 3739 all 3956 the multitude 4128 of the Jews 2453 have dealt 1793 with me 3427, both 5037 at 1722 Jerusalem 2414, and 2532 also here 1759, crying 1916 that he ought 1163 not 3361 to live 2198 any longer 3371.
25 But 1161 when I 1473 found 2638 that he had committed 4238 nothing 3367 worthy 514 of death 2288, and 2532 1161 that he himself 846 hath appealed 5127 to 1941 Augustus 4575, I have determined 2919 to send 3992 him 846.
26 Of 4012 whom 3739 I have 2192 no 3756 certain 804 thing 5100 to write 1125 unto my lord 2962. Wherefore 1352 I have brought 4254 0 him 846 forth 4254 before 1909 you 5216, and 2532 specially 3122 before 1909 thee 4675, O king 935 Agrippa 67, that 3704, after examination 351 had 1096, I might have 2192 somewhat 5100 to write 1125.
27 For 1063 it seemeth 1380 to me 3427 unreasonable 249 to send 3992 a prisoner 1198, and 2532 not withal 3361 to signify 4591 the crimes 156 laid against 2596 him 846.
