1 Three days after Festus took over his duties in the province of Judea, he went from the city of Caesarea to Jerusalem. 2 The chief priests and the other important Jewish leaders informed Festus about their charges against Paul. They were urging 3 Festus to do them the favor of having Paul brought to Jerusalem. The Jews had a plan to ambush and kill Paul as he traveled to Jerusalem. 4 Festus replied that he would be returning to Caesarea soon and would keep Paul there. 5 He told them, |Have your authorities come to Caesarea with me and accuse him there if the man has done something wrong.| Acts 25:1-5, God's Word Translation.
