Appeal » Paul makes, to caesar
Then said Paul, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I no harm done, as thou verily well knowest. If I have hurt them, or committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die. If none of these things are, whereof they accuse me, no man ought to deliver me to them. I appeal unto Caesar."
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, read more.
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."

Then said Agrippa unto Festus, "This man might have been loosed if he had not appealed unto Caesar."
