Acts 25:23-27 - Paul Before Agrippa
23 On the morrow Agrippa and Bernice came in great state, and being introduc'd into the court attended by the officers and the principal men of the city, Festus gave the word, and Paul was brought to the Bar. 24 then Festus said, "King Agrippa, and you that are here present, you see the man, against whom a numerous body of the Jews have been practising with me both at Jerusalem, and in this city, urging with vehemence, that he should not be suffer'd to live. 25 but finding he had done nothing that deserv'd death, I have resolved to send him to the emperor, to whom he had appealed. 26 as I have no certain account to communicate to the emperor my master, I caus'd him to appear before this assembly, and before you, king Agrippa, in particular, that after he is examin'd, I may know how to represent the affair; 27 for it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner without expressing the crimes laid to his charge."
