And two years completed, Felix took Porcius Festus, a successor: and wishing to render a favor to the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.

Festus therefore having come to the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cesarea.

Then truly answered Festus, Paul to be kept in Cesarea, and himself quickly about to go forth.

And Festus, wishing to render a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Wilt thou, having gone up to Jerusalem, there be judged by me of these things?

Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar, to Caesar shalt thou go.

And certain days having intervined, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cesarea, having saluted Festus.

And as they tarried there many days, Festus set up to the king the things of Paul, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

And Agrippa said to Festus, I wished myself also to hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him.

Therefore the morrow, Agrippa having come, and Bernice, with much display, and having come into the hall, also with captains of thousands, and men of the city being in eminence, and Festus having commanded, Paul was brought.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men being present with us, ye behold this, of whom all the multitude of Jews addressed me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out he must no more live.

And he defending himself by these, Festus said with a great voice, Thou art frenzied, Paul; many letters turn thee to madness.

And he says, I am not frenzied, most excellent Festus; but I speak the words of truth and soundness of mind.

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been loosed, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
