Acts 25:1-7 ▼

1 NOW when Fes’tus arrived at Cæsa- re’a, after three days he went up to Jerusalem.

2 Then the high priests and Jewish leaders informed him against Paul.

3 They besought him as a favor to send for him and bring him to Jerusalem, for they were plotting to kill him on the way.

4 But Fes’tus answered that Paul should be kept at Cæs-a-re’a, and that he himself was shortly going there.

5 Therefore, said he, let those who are able among you come down with us and accuse the man about any offense which can be found against him.

6 And when he had tarried there eight or ten days, he went down to Cæs-a-re’a, and the next day he sat on the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought.

7 And when he was come, the Jews who had come from Jerusalem surrounded him, and brought against him many serious charges which they could not prove.
