Appeal » Paul makes, to caesar
"I stand, said Paul, to the tribunal of Cesar, where I ought to be judged. to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself very well know. if I am guilty of any capital crime, I am contented to die. but since their accusations are all groundless, that I may not be sacrificed to their humour, I appeal to Cesar."
but Paul having made his appeal, insisting to have his cause refer'd to the cognizance of the emperor, I order'd him into custody, till I could send him to Cesar. thereupon Agrippa told Festus, he himself should be glad to hear the man. to-morrow, said Festus, you shall hear him. On the morrow Agrippa and Bernice came in great state, and being introduc'd into the court attended by the officers and the principal men of the city, Festus gave the word, and Paul was brought to the Bar. read more.
then Festus said, "King Agrippa, and you that are here present, you see the man, against whom a numerous body of the Jews have been practising with me both at Jerusalem, and in this city, urging with vehemence, that he should not be suffer'd to live. but finding he had done nothing that deserv'd death, I have resolved to send him to the emperor, to whom he had appealed. as I have no certain account to communicate to the emperor my master, I caus'd him to appear before this assembly, and before you, king Agrippa, in particular, that after he is examin'd, I may know how to represent the affair; for it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner without expressing the crimes laid to his charge."

nay, Agrippa said to Festus, "this man might have been discharg'd if he had not appeal'd to Cesar."

Paul » His examination before herod agrippa ii
Some days after, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea to make Festus a visit. as they continued there for some time, Festus represented Paul's case to the king: Felix, said he, had left here a certain prisoner: and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and senators of the Jews made their appearance, and demanded to have justice against him. read more.
I told them, it was not the custom of the Romans to deliver up any man, till he was accus'd and confronted by his accusers, and had an opportunity of pleading to the charge. the next day after they were come, to avoid delay, I mounted the tribunal, and order'd the man to be brought. when his accusers appear'd, they did not charge him with any such crimes as I imagined they would. they objected certain articles that related only to their superstition, and to one Jesus that was dead, but Paul asserted he was alive. being at a loss how to determine such an affair, I ask'd him if he would go to Jerusalem, and take his tryal there. but Paul having made his appeal, insisting to have his cause refer'd to the cognizance of the emperor, I order'd him into custody, till I could send him to Cesar. thereupon Agrippa told Festus, he himself should be glad to hear the man. to-morrow, said Festus, you shall hear him.
