Acts:25:11-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For if I be an offender (
5719 ),
or have committed (
5758 )
any thing worthy of death ,
I refuse (
5736 )
not to die (
5629 ):
but if there be (
5748 )
none of these things whereof these accuse (
5719 )
me ,
no man may (
5736 )
deliver (
5664 )
me unto them .
I appeal unto (
5731 )
Caesar .
*
Then Festus ,
when he had conferred (
5660 )
with the council ,
answered (
5662 ),
Hast thou appealed unto (
5764 )
Caesar ?
unto Caesar shalt thou go (
5695 ).
*
And after (
5637 )
certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came (
5656 )
unto Caesarea to salute (
5697 )
Festus .
*
And when they had been (
5707 )
there many days ,
Festus declared (
5639 )
Pauls cause unto the king ,
saying (
5723 ),
There is (
5748 )
a certain man left (
5772 )
in bonds by Felix :
*
About whom ,
when I was (
5637 )
at Jerusalem ,
the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed (
5656 )
me ,
desiring (
5734 )
to have judgment against him .
*
To whom I answered (
5662 ),
It is (
5748 )
not the manner of the Romans to deliver (
5738 )
any man to die ,
before that he which is accused (
5746 )
have (
5722 )
the accusers face to face ,
and have (
5630 )
licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him .
*
Therefore ,
when they were come (
5631 )
hither ,
without (
5671 )
any delay on the morrow I sat (
5660 )
on the judgment seat ,
and commanded (
5656 )
the man to be brought forth (
5683 ).
*
Against whom when the accusers stood up (
5685 ),
they brought (
5707 )
none accusation of such things as I supposed (
5707 ):
*
But had (
5707 )
certain questions against him of their own superstition ,
and of one Jesus ,
which was dead (
5761 ),
whom Paul affirmed (
5707 )
to be alive (
5721 ).
*
And because I doubted (
5734 )
of such manner of questions ,
I asked (
5707 )
him whether he would (
5739 )
go (
5738 )
to Jerusalem ,
and there be judged (
5745 )
of these matters .
*
But when Paul had appealed (
5671 )
to be reserved (
5683 )
unto the hearing of Augustus ,
I commanded (
5656 )
him to be kept (
5745 )
till I might send (
5661 )
him to Caesar .
