Appeal » Paul makes, to caesar
Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as thou very well knowest.

And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all that are here present with us, ye see this man, concerning whom all the Jews have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live. But when I found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and as he himself has appealed to the emperor, I have determined to send him. Concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to our sovereign: wherefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that after examination is made I may have somewhat to write. For it seems to me absurd, to send a prisoner and not to signify the crimes laid against him."
