Acts 25:1-6 ▼

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

2 And the chief priests and the chiefs of the Jews presented to him against Paul, and they were imploring him,

3 requesting a favor against him that he would summon him to Jerusalem, forming an ambush to kill him on the way.

4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is to be kept in Caesarea, and that he himself is about to go out in haste.

5 “Therefore those powerful among you?,” he says, “having gone down together, if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”

6 And having spent with them no more than eight or ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.
