Appeal » Paul makes, to caesar
I stand at Caesar's court, Paul replied, where I ought to be judged. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you are finding out. If I am a wrongdoer, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if charges brought against me by the Jews are not true no man has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.
Paul appealed to be reserved to the hearing of Augustus. So I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar. Then Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man myself. Festus replied: Tomorrow, you will hear him. The next day Agrippa and Bernice arrived with great elegance. They entered the place of hearing with the commanders and important men of the city.

Festus said, King Agrippa and all men who are present with us, you see this man, about whom all the crowds of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he should not live any longer. I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death. He has appealed to Augustus and I have determined to send him. I have no certain thing to write to my lord. I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, O king Agrippa, that, after examination I might have something to write. It seems unreasonable to send a prisoner and not signify the crimes charged against him.
