* Festus therefore having entered upon the prefecture , after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea . * Appeared before and him the high –priest and the chiefs of the Jews against the Paul , and entreated him , * asking a favor against him , that he would send for him to Jerusalem ; an ambush forming to kill him in the way . * The indeed then Festus answered , to be kept the Paul in Caesarea , himself but to be about with speed to go out . * Those therefore among you , he says , being able , having gone down with , if anything is in the man , let them accuse him . * Having remained and among them days not more eight or ten , having gone down into Caesarea , on the morrow having sat down on the judgment –seat , he commanded the Paul to be led forth . * Having approached and of him , stood around the from Jerusalem having been come down Jews , many and heavy accusations bring against the Paul , which not they were able to point out ; * saying in defence of him : That neither against the law of the Jews , nor against the temple , nor against Caesar any thing did I wrong . * The Fetus but , with the Jews wishing a favor to lay for himself , answering to the Paul said : Art thou willing to Jerusalem having gone up , there concerning these things to be judged before me ? * Said and the Paul : At the judgment –seat of Caesar standing I am , where me it behooves to be judged . Jews nothing I have done wrong , as also thou full well hast ascertained . * If indeed for I am unjust , and worthy of death I have done any thing , not I refuse the to die ; if but nothing is of which these accuse me , no one me is able to them to give as a favor . Caesar I call upon . * Then the Festus having conferred with the council , answered : Caesar thou hast called upon ; to Caesar thou shalt go .
