Porcius festus

Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he went up from Cesarea to Jerusalem.

And as he was thus making his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself, much learning doth make thee mad.

Willing

And perceiving it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take Peter also.

But Festus, willing to gratify the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged before me concerning these things?

And Pilate, willing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

And Pilate gave sentence, that what they desired should be done.

For do I now satisfy men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
