Now when certain days were passed ,
Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea ,
and saluted Festus .
asv @
Acts:25:14 @
And as they tarried there many days ,
Festus laid Paul '
s case before the King ,
saying ,
There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix ;
asv @
Acts:25:15 @
about whom ,
when I was at Jerusalem ,
the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [
me ],
asking for sentence against him .
asv @
Acts:25:16 @
To whom I answered ,
that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man ,
before that the accused have the accusers face to face ,
and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him .
asv @
Acts:25:17 @
When therefore they were come together here ,
I made no delay ,
but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat ,
and commanded the man to be brought .
asv @
Acts:25:18 @
Concerning whom ,
when the accusers stood up ,
they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed ;
asv @
Acts:25:19 @
but had certain questions against him of their own religion ,
and of one Jesus ,
who was dead ,
whom Paul affirmed to be alive .
asv @
Acts:25:20 @
And I ,
being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things ,
asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters .

Acts:25:21 @
But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor ,
I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar .

Acts:25:22 @
And Agrippa [
said ]
unto Festus ,
I also could wish to hear the man myself .
To-morrow ,
saith he ,
thou shalt hear him .
asv @
Acts:25:23 @
So on the morrow ,
when Agrippa was come ,
and Bernice ,
with great pomp ,
and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city ,
at the command of Festus Paul was brought in .
asv @
Acts:25:24 @
And Festus saith ,
King Agrippa ,
and all men who are here present with us ,
ye behold this man ,
about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me ,
both at Jerusalem and here ,
crying that he ought not to live any longer .
asv @
Acts:25:25 @
But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death :
and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him .
asv @
Acts:25:26 @
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord .
Wherefore I have brought him forth before you ,
and specially before thee ,
king Agrippa ,
that ,
after examination had ,
I may have somewhat to write .
