Appeal » Paul makes, to caesar
And Paul said, At Caesar's judgment seat am I standing where I must he judged: I injured the Jews nothing, as thou also knowest better. For if truly I act with injustice, and have done anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing of which these accuse me, no one can yield me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.
And Paul having appealed for him to be kept for the determination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I send him to Caesar. And Agrippa said to Festus, I wished myself also to hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him. Therefore the morrow, Agrippa having come, and Bernice, with much display, and having come into the hall, also with captains of thousands, and men of the city being in eminence, and Festus having commanded, Paul was brought. read more.
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men being present with us, ye behold this, of whom all the multitude of Jews addressed me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out he must no more live. And I discovering nothing he has done worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Augustus, I judged to send him. Of whom I have not anything certain to write to the lord. Wherefore I brought him to you, and especially to thee, king Agrippa, so that, examination having been, I should have some thing to write. For it seems to me unreasonable sending one in bonds, and not to signify the charges against him.

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been loosed, if he had not appealed to Caesar.

Paul » expounds » The gospel
And it was after three days Paul called together them being first of the Jews: and they having come together, he said to them, Men, brethren, I having done nothing against the people, or customs of the fathers, I was delivered in bonds from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. Who, having examined me, wished to loose, for no cause of death was in me. And the Jews saying against, I was forced to appeal to Caesar; as having nothing to accuse my nation. read more.
For this cause therefore I besought to see you, and to speak: for, for the hope of Israel am I surrounded by this chain. And they said to him, We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, nor any of the brethren having been present announced or spoke any evil of thee. And we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest: for truly of this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against. And having appointed him a day, many came to him to the lodging; to whom testifying, he set forth the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morn to eve. And some truly were persuaded by things spoken, and some disbelieved. And being at variance with one another, they were let go, Paul having said one word, That well spake the Holy Spirit by Esaias the prophet to our fathers, Saying, Go to this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and ye should not perceive: For the heart of this people was thickened, and with ears heard they heavily, and their eyes they closed; lest they should see with the eyes, and with ears should hear, and with the heart they should understand, and turn back, and I should heal them. Be it known to you therefore, that salvation of God was sent to the nations, and they shall hear. And he having said these things, the Jews departed, having much discussion in themselves.
