Paul Appeals to the Emperor
Three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cesarea to Jerusalem.
2 where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders brought their charges against Paul. They begged Festus Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3 to do them the favor of having Paul come to Jerusalem, for they had made a plot to kill him on the way. And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4 Festus answered, “Paul is being kept a prisoner in Caesarea, and I myself will be going back there soon. But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
5 Let your leaders go to Caesarea with me and accuse the man if he has done anything wrong.” Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6 Festus spent another eight or ten days with them and then went to Caesarea. On the next day he sat down in the judgment court and ordered Paul to be brought in. And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
7 When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come from Jerusalem stood around him and started making many serious charges against him, which they were not able to prove. And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
8 But Paul defended himself: “I have done nothing wrong against the Law of the Jews or against the Temple or against the Roman Emperor.” While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cesar, have I offended any thing at all.
9 But Festus wanted to gain favor with the Jews, so he asked Paul, “Would you be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried on these charges before me there?” But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
10 Paul said, “I am standing before the Emperor's own judgment court, where I should be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you yourself well know. Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11 If I have broken the law and done something for which I deserve the death penalty, I do not ask to escape it. But if there is no truth in the charges they bring against me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to the Emperor.” For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Cesar.
12 Then Festus, after conferring with his advisers, answered, “You have appealed to the Emperor, so to the Emperor you will go.” Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cesar? unto Cesar shalt thou go.

Paul before Agrippa and Bernice
Some time later King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to pay a visit of welcome to Festus.
And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Cesarea to salute Festus.
14 After they had been there several days, Festus explained Paul's situation to the king: “There is a man here who was left a prisoner by Felix; And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
15 and when I went to Jerusalem, the Jewish chief priests and elders brought charges against him and asked me to condemn him. About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
16 But I told them that we Romans are not in the habit of handing over any who are accused of a crime before they have met their accusers face-to-face and have had the chance of defending themselves against the accusation. To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
17 When they came here, then, I lost no time, but on the very next day I sat in the judgment court and ordered the man to be brought in. Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
18 His opponents stood up, but they did not accuse him of any of the evil crimes that I thought they would. Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
19 All they had were some arguments with him about their own religion and about a man named Jesus, who has died; but Paul claims that he is alive. But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 I was undecided about how I could get information on these matters, so I asked Paul if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges. And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
21 But Paul appealed; he asked to be kept under guard and to let the Emperor decide his case. So I gave orders for him to be kept under guard until I could send him to the Emperor.” But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Cesar.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” “You will hear him tomorrow,” Festus answered. Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and ceremony and entered the audience hall with the military chiefs and the leading men of the city. Festus gave the order, and Paul was brought in. And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are here with us: You see this man against whom all the Jewish people, both here and in Jerusalem, have brought complaints to me. They scream that he should not live any longer. And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25 But I could not find that he had done anything for which he deserved the death sentence. And since he himself made an appeal to the Emperor, I have decided to send him. But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
26 But I have nothing definite about him to write to the Emperor. So I have brought him here before you—and especially before you, King Agrippa!—so that, after investigating his case, I may have something to write. Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
27 For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner without clearly indicating the charges against him.” For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
