Thematic Bible: Appeals to be heard by caesar

And Paul answered: I am standing at the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know. If, however, I be an offender, and have done any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if the things of which these men accuse me are nothing, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar. Then Festus, after conferring with the council, answered: To Caesar have you appealed? To Caesar you shall go.
