25 新総督としてカイザリヤに着いて三日後に、フェストはエルサレムへ来ました。 2 祭司長やユダヤ人の指導者たちはさっそく面会を求め、パウロの一件を持ち出しました。 3 願うことはただ一つ、パウロを直ちにエルサレムに送り返してほしいということでした。彼らは、途中で待ち伏せて殺そうと思っていたのです。 4 そんなこととは知らないフェストは、パウロはカイザリヤに拘留中だし、自分もすぐ戻るので、 5 パウロを告発したければ、それ相応の人が自分と同行し、向こうで裁判にかけてはどうかと提案しました。
総督フェストの決定
6 八日か十日の後、フェストはカイザリヤに帰り、翌日パウロの裁判が開かれました。
7 パウロが出廷したとたん、エルサレムから来たユダヤ人たちが取り囲み、次々に重い罪名をあげて訴えたものの、それを証拠立てることはできませんでした。 8 この訴えに対して、パウロは、「私は潔白です。別にユダヤ人の律法に反対したわけでもなく、神殿を汚したことも、ローマ政府にそむいたこともありません」ときっぱり否定しました。
9 そこでフェストは、ユダヤ人の歓心を買おうとして、パウロに尋ねました。「どうだ、エルサレムで裁判を受ける気はないか。もちろん、私の前でだが。」
10-11 「それよりも、ローマ皇帝に上訴する権利を要求いたします。私が無実であることは、あなた様もご存じのはずです。もし、何か死刑にあたるようなことをしているのなら、逃げも隠れもいたしません。しかし、私は潔白でございます。だれにも、私をこの人たちの手に渡して殺させる権利はありません。私はカイザルに上訴いたします。」
12 フェストは事態をどう始末したものかと、顧問たちに相談してから、「いいだろう、おまえはカイザルに上訴したのだから、カイザルのところへ行きなさい」と言いました。
13 数日後、新総督を表敬するため、ヘロデ・アグリッパ（二世）王がベルニケと共にフェストを訪問しました。 14 二人が何日間か滞在している間に、フェストはパウロの一件を王に持ち出しました。「実は、ペリクスから引き継いだ囚人が一人いるのですが、 15 どうも祭司長やユダヤ人の指導者たちは、彼を死刑にしたいらしいのです。私がエルサレムへ行った時、そう申していました。 16 もちろん私は、ローマの法律では、裁判もせずに人を有罪にはできないと答えました。それでこの男に、訴える者たちの前で釈明する機会を与えることにしたのです。 17 告発者たちがこちらに来た翌日、私は裁判を開き、パウロを出廷させました。 18 ところが、訴えというのが全く予想外で、 19 ユダヤの宗教上の問題なのです。なんでも、死んでしまったイエスとかいう人物のことで、パウロはその人が生きていると主張しているのです。 20 こんな事件は、とても手に負えそうもありません。そこで、エルサレムで裁判を受ける気はないかと尋ねてみたら、 21 なんとこの男は、カイザルに上訴すると言いだしまして。しかたありません。皇帝陛下のもとへ送る手はずが整うまで、牢に入れてあるのです。」
22 アグリッパはこの話に興味を示し、「直接、その男の話を聞いてみたいものだ」と言ったので、フェストは、「では、明日お聞きいただきましょう」と答えました。
23 翌日、盛装した王とベルニケが、司令官たちや町の有力者たちと連れ立って法廷に入ると、フェストはパウロを連れて来るように命じました。
24 まずフェストが立ち上がり、言いました。「アグリッパ王、ならびにご列席の皆さん。この地方のユダヤ人もエルサレムのユダヤ人も、この男の死刑を要求しております。 25 しかし、私の見る限り、彼は何も死刑にあたるようなことはしていないのであります。ところが、この男が自分でカイザルに上訴しましたので、私は、彼をカイザルのもとに送ることに決めたしだいです。 26 しかし、皇帝に何と書き送ったらよいでしょう。告訴できるだけの理由が何もないのです。それで皆さんの前に、特にアグリッパ王の前に連れてまいりました。皆さんに調べていただき、何と書いたらいいか教えていただきたいのです。 27 何の理由もなく囚人を皇帝陛下のもとに送るのは、はなはだ理屈に合わないことだからです。」

Paul’s Trial Before Festus
25 Three days after arriving in the province, Festus(A) went up from Caesarea(B) to Jerusalem, 2 where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders appeared before him and presented the charges against Paul.(C) 3 They requested Festus, as a favor to them, to have Paul transferred to Jerusalem, for they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.(D) 4 Festus answered, “Paul is being held(E) at Caesarea,(F) and I myself am going there soon. 5 Let some of your leaders come with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can press charges against him there.”
6 After spending eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he convened the court(G) and ordered that Paul be brought before him.(H) 7 When Paul came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him. They brought many serious charges against him,(I) but they could not prove them.(J)
8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple(K) or against Caesar.”
9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(L) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(M)
10 Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews,(N) as you yourself know very well. 11 If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”(O)
12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
Festus Consults King Agrippa
13 A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea(P) to pay their respects to Festus. 14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul’s case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.(Q) 15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him(R) and asked that he be condemned.
16 “I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over anyone before they have faced their accusers and have had an opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.(S) 17 When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in.(T) 18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. 19 Instead, they had some points of dispute(U) with him about their own religion(V) and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive. 20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters; so I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges.(W) 21 But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”(X)
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.”
He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”(Y)
Paul Before Agrippa(Z)
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice(AA) came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high-ranking military officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 24 Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community(AB) has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.(AC) 25 I found he had done nothing deserving of death,(AD) but because he made his appeal to the Emperor(AE) I decided to send him to Rome. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to His Majesty about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that as a result of this investigation I may have something to write. 27 For I think it is unreasonable to send a prisoner on to Rome without specifying the charges against him.”

25 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
