Acts 25:1-7 ▼

1 Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went from Cesarea to Jerusalem:

2 when the high priest and the chief of the Jews waited upon him with an information against Paul,

3 "desiring the favour he might be sent for to Jerusalem." they having prepar'd measures to assassinate him upon the road.

4 Festus answer'd, that Paul was in custody at Cesarea, where he design'd to be himself e'er long:

5 the most considerable, said he, among you may go with me, and if he has committed any crime, let 'em begin the process.

6 Having staid above eight, nay ten days, he went to Cesarea, and on the morrow mounting the tribunal, he order'd Paul to be brought before him.

7 when he appear'd, the Jews, who were come from Jerusalem presented themselves before Festus, and loaded Paul with abundance of accusations, which they were not able to prove.
