13 Some days later, King A-grip’pa and Ber-ni’ce came down to Cæs-a-re’a to greet Festus. 14 And when they had been with him several days, Festus related Paul’s case to the king, saying, There is a certain prisoner left by Felix: 15 And when I was in Jerusalem, the high priests and the elders of the Jews informed me about him, and asked to have judgment against him. 16 I told them, It is not the Roman custom to give up a man to be slain, until his accusers come and accuse him face to face, and give him a chance to defend himself against the charges. 17 So when I arrived here, the following day, without any delay, I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought before me.
