Porcius festus

When Festus, having entered upon his government, after three days went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

And as he spoke these things in his defense, Festus said, with a loud voice; Paul, you are mad; much learning drives you to madness.

Willing

And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he apprehended Peter also. Those were the days of unleavened bread.

But Festus, willing to confer a favor on the Jews, answered Paul, and said: Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged before me concerning these things?

And Pilate, willing to gratify the multitude, released to them Barabbas; and delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.

For, do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? or do I strive to please men? If, indeed, I would still please men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
