Appeal » Paul makes, to caesar
And Paul said, I stand at the tribunal of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have not injured the Jews, as you also know very well. If indeed I have done wrong or committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if those things of which they accuse me are nothing, no man may give me up to them; I appeal to Caesar.
But Paul appealing, to be kept for the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar. And Agrippa [said] to Festus, I should like to hear the man also myself. And he said, To-morrow you shall hear him. On the next day, therefore, Agrippa and Bernice coming with great pomp, and entering into the place of hearing with chiliarchs and men of distinction in the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought. read more.
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all the men present with us, you see this man, of whom all the multitude of the Jews besought me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought no longer to live. But finding that he had done nothing deserving death, and he having appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. But I have nothing certain to write to the sovereign concerning him, wherefore I have brought him before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that on examination I may have something to write; for it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the charges against him.
