Courts of justice » Of the romans in judea » Appeals from, made to the emperor
And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been made free, if he had not put his cause before Caesar.
But when the Jews made protest against it, I had to put my cause into Caesar's hands; not because I have anything to say against my nation.
If, then, I am a wrongdoer and there is a cause of death in me, I am ready for death: if it is not as they say against me, no man may give me up to them. Let my cause come before Caesar.
