Acts 25:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Paul said, ‘I am appealing to the emperor’s tribunal; this is where I should be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you very well know. ¹¹ Now if I am in the wrong and have committed something for which I deserve to die, I am not trying to escape death; but if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can turn me over to them. I appeal to the emperor.’ ¹² Then Festus, after he had conferred with his council, replied, ‘You have appealed to the emperor; to the emperor you will go.’
