So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.

And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.

And get beasts so that they may put Paul on them, and take him safely to Felix, the ruler.

So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.

And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.

And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came with certain of the rulers, and an expert talker, one Tertullus; and they made a statement to Felix against Paul.

Then when the ruler had given him a sign to make his answer, Paul said, Because I have knowledge that you have been a judge over this nation for a number of years, I am glad to make my answer:

And he gave orders to the captain to keep Paul under his control, and to let him have everything he had need of; and not to keep his friends from coming to see him.

But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

For he was hoping that Paul would give him money: so he sent for him more frequently and had talk with him.

But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

And the chief priests and the chief men of the Jews made statements against Paul,

But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

Then Paul, in his answer to them, said, I have done no wrong against the law of the Jews, or against the Temple, or against Caesar.

But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

But when Paul made a request that he might be judged by Caesar, I gave orders for him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.
