"When they were come hither, without delay on the morrow I sat to give judgment, and commanded the man to be brought forth. Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed: But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus which was dead; whom Paul affirmed to be alive. And because I doubted of such manner questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters. Then when Paul had appealed to be kept unto the knowledge of Caesar, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar." Agrippa said unto Festus, "I would also hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," said he, "thou shalt hear him." And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and were entered into the council house with the captains and chief men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth, and Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us: Ye see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews have been with me, both at Jerusalem and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. Yet found I nothing worthy of death that he had committed. Nevertheless, seeing that he hath appealed to Caesar, I have determined to send him. Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him unto you, and especially unto thee, king Agrippa, that after examination had, I might have somewhat to write. For me thinketh it unreasonable for to send a prisoner, and not to show the causes, which are laid against him."
