Acts 25:1-5 ▼

1 Then Festus having entered upon his office, after three days went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem;

2 and both the chief priests and the first men of the Jews appeared before him against Paul, and continued to entreat him,

3 asking favor against him, in order that he might send him to Jerusalem, making a plot to kill him on the road.

4 Then indeed Festus responded, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and himself was about to go away quickly:

5 Then, says he, Let the influential ones among you, coming down, accuse him, if there is anything wrong in the man.
