Then the chief priests and the leaders of the Jews presented their case against Paul to him; and they appealed,asking him to do them a favor against Paul, that he might summon him to Jerusalem. They were preparing an ambush along the road to kill him.However, Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to go there shortly.“ Therefore,” he said,“ let the men of authority among you go down with me and accuse him, if there is any wrong in this man.”When he had spent not more than eight or 10 days among them, he went down to Caesarea. The next day, seated at the judge’s bench, he commanded Paul to be brought in.When he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him and brought many serious charges that they were not able to prove,while Paul made the defense that,“ Neither against the Jewish law, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned at all.”Then Festus, wanting to do a favor for the Jews, replied to Paul,“ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be tried before me on these charges?”But Paul said:“ I am standing at Caesar’s tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as even you can see very well.If then I am doing wrong, or have done anything deserving of death, I do not refuse to die, but if there is nothing to what these men accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”After Festus conferred with his council, he replied,“ You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you will go!”After some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea and paid a courtesy call on Festus.
