* Now when Festus was come into the province , after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem . * Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul , and besought him , * And desired favour against him , that he would send for him to Jerusalem , laying wait in the way to kill him . * But Festus answered , that Paul should be kept at Caesarea , and that he himself would depart shortly thither . * Let them therefore , said he , which among you are able , go down with me , and accuse this man , if there be any wickedness in him . * And when he had tarried among them more than ten days , he went down unto Caesarea ; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought . * And when he was come , the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about , and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul , which they could not prove . * While he answered for himself , Neither against the law of the Jews , neither against the temple , nor yet against Caesar , have I offended any thing at all . * But Festus , willing to do the Jews a pleasure , answered Paul , and said , Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem , and there be judged of these things before me ?
