Acts 25:1-5 ▼

1 Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem

2 where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented him their formal charges against Paul. They asked him

3 as a favor to have him sent to Jerusalem, for they were plotting to kill him along the way.

4 Festus replied that Paul was being held in custody in Caesarea and that he himself would be returning there shortly.

5 He said, “Let your authorities come down with me, and if this man has done something improper, let them accuse him.”
