geneva@Acts:25:2 @ Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
geneva@Acts:25:3 @ And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
geneva@Acts:25:4 @ But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Cæsarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
geneva@Acts:25:5 @ Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him.
geneva@Acts:25:7 @ And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which (note:)They could not prove them certainly and without undoubted reasons.(:note) they could not prove.
geneva@Acts:25:8 @ Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Cæsar.
geneva@Acts:25:10 @ Then said Paul, I stand at Cæsars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
geneva@Acts:25:11 @ For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Cæsar.
geneva@Acts:25:12 @ Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Cæsar? vnto Cæsar shalt thou goe.
geneva@Acts:25:14 @ And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
geneva@Acts:25:15 @ Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
geneva@Acts:25:16 @ To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to (note:)The Romans did not used to deliver any man to be punished before, etc.(:note) deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
geneva@Acts:25:17 @ Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commaunded the man to be brought foorth.
geneva@Acts:25:18 @ Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
geneva@Acts:25:20 @ And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
geneva@Acts:25:21 @ But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commaunded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
geneva@Acts:25:23 @ And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great (note:)Gorgeously, like a prince.(:note) pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
geneva@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, & all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer.
geneva@Acts:25:25 @ Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him.

Good princes refused this name at the first, that is, to be called lords, but afterwards they allowed it, as we read of Traianus.(:note) lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
geneva@Acts:25:27 @ For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
