13 Some days after, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea to make Festus a visit. 14 as they continued there for some time, Festus represented Paul's case to the king: Felix, said he, had left here a certain prisoner: 15 and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and senators of the Jews made their appearance, and demanded to have justice against him. 16 I told them, it was not the custom of the Romans to deliver up any man, till he was accus'd and confronted by his accusers, and had an opportunity of pleading to the charge. 17 the next day after they were come, to avoid delay, I mounted the tribunal, and order'd the man to be brought.
