emtv@Acts:25:13 @ And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea and greeted Festus.

emtv@Acts:25:14 @ And as he was spending many days there, Festus laid before the king the charges against Paul, saying: "There is a certain man who was left a prisoner by Felix,

emtv@Acts:25:15 @ about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for punishment against him.

emtv@Acts:25:16 @ To them I answered, 'It is not a custom with Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the [one] being accused may meet his accusers face to face, and may receive an opportunity for defense concerning the charge.'

emtv@Acts:25:17 @ "Therefore when they had assembled here, having made no delay, on the next day I took my seat at the judicial bench, and I commanded the man to be brought [in];

emtv@Acts:25:18 @ concerning whom, when the accusers stood, they brought no accusation of the[ ]things which I was supposing,

emtv@Acts:25:19 @ but had some questions against him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who had died, whom Paul affirmed to be living.

emtv@Acts:25:20 @ And being uncertain [as to] the investigation concerning this, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these charges.

emtv@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed that he be kept for the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I may send him to Caesar."

emtv@Acts:25:22 @ Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I also was wishing to hear the man myself.""Tomorrow,"he said, "you shall hear him."

emtv@Acts:25:23 @ Therefore on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with all pomp, and had entered into the auditorium together with the commanders and the prominent men of the city, and when Festus had commanded, Paul was brought.

emtv@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus said: "King Agrippa and all the men who are with us, observe this man about whom the people of the Jews petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying against [him] that it is not fitting [for] him to live any longer.

emtv@Acts:25:25 @ But when I came to understand him to have done nothing worthy of death, and also he had appealed to His Majesty the Emperor, I decided to send him.

emtv@Acts:25:26 @ About whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you, and especially before you King Agrippa, in order that when this hearing is finished I may have something to write.
