Acts 25:1-5 ▼

1 Therefore Festus, having arrived in the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

2 And the chief priests and the chiefs of the Jews presented to him against Paul, and they were imploring him,

3 requesting a favor against him that he would summon him to Jerusalem, forming an ambush to kill him on the way.

4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is to be kept in Caesarea, and that he himself is about to go out in haste.

5 “Therefore those powerful among you?,” he says, “having gone down together, if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
