Acts 25:1-5 ▼

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

2 So the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought formal charges against Paul to him.

3 Requesting him to do them a favor against Paul, they urged Festus to summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him along the way.

4 Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself intended to go there shortly.

5 So,| he said, |let your leaders go down there with me, and if this man has done anything wrong, they may bring charges against him.|
