1 Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus (festival) went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem (city of peace), 2 where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul (humble). They urged Festus 3 to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem (city of peace), because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way. 4 But Festus (festival) replied, “Paul (humble) is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon. 5 So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your⁺ leaders come down with me and accuse him there. 6 After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul (humble) be brought in. 7 When Paul arrived, the Jews (people of praise) who had come down from Jerusalem (city of peace) stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
