Acts 25:23-27 - Paul Before Agrippa

²³ So the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came with splendid pomp and went into the audience-room, attended by the colonels and the leading citizens of the town, and at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. ²⁴ Then Festus said: "King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you now see this man about whom the whole Jewish nation made suit to me, both in Jerusalem and here, continuously clamoring that he ought not to live any longer. ²⁵ But I found that he had not done anything for which he deserved to die; however, as he has himself appealed to his Majesty, I have decided to send him up. ²⁶ Yet, I have nothing definite to write our Sovereign about him. So I have brought him before all of you, especially before you, King Agrippa, to get from your examination something to put in writing. ²⁷ For it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner up, without specifying the charges against him."
