Acts 25:1-5 ▼

1 And so, when Festus had arrived in the province, after three days, he ascended to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

2 And the leaders of the priests, and those first among the Jews, went to him against Paul. And they were petitioning him,

3 asking for favor against him, so that he would order him to be led to Jerusalem, where they were maintaining an ambush in order to kill him along the way.

4 But Festus responded that Paul was to be kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would soon go there.

5 “Therefore,” he said, “let those among you who are able, descend at the same time, and if there is any guilt in the man, they may accuse him.”
