'Appealed' in the Bible

Festus talked it over with the council and then answered, "To the emperor you have appealed; to the emperor you will go!"

But Paul appealed his case and asked to be held in prison until the decision of his Majesty. So I ordered him to be held in custody until I could send him to the emperor."

I find that he has not done anything deserving of death. But since he has appealed to his Majesty, I have decided to send him.

Agrippa told Festus, "This man could have been set free if he hadn't appealed to the emperor."
