13 And certain days having intervened, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cesarea, having saluted Festus. 14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus set up to the king the things of Paul, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: 15 About whom, I being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews exhibited, asking judgment against him. 16 To whom I answered, That it is not the custom to Romans to yield up any man to destruction, before that the accused may have the accusers before the face, and take place for defence for the accusation. 17 Therefore, they having come here together, having made no delay, in order having sat upon the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
