Dumulog si Pablo sa Emperador
25 Pagkaraan ng tatlong araw matapos dumating sa lalawigan, pumunta si Festo sa Jerusalem mula sa Cesarea. 2 Lumapit sa kanya doon ang mga punong pari at ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio at idinulog ang kanilang sakdal laban kay Pablo. 3 Nakiusap silang ibalik si Pablo sa Jerusalem, sapagkat may balak silang siya'y tambangan at patayin sa daan. 4 Sumagot si Festo, “Nakabilanggo si Pablo sa Cesarea, at ako mismo ay pupunta roon sa lalong madaling panahon. 5 Pasamahin ninyo sa akin ang inyong mga pinuno, at sila ang magsakdal laban sa taong iyon, kung may nagawa man siyang kasalanan.” 6 Nagpalipas doon si Festo ng hindi hihigit sa walo o sampung araw, pagkatapos ay bumalik sa Cesarea. Kinabukasan, umupo siya sa hukuman at iniutos na dalhin sa kanya si Pablo. 7 Pagdating ni Pablo ay pinaligiran agad siya ng mga Judiong galing sa Jerusalem at nagharap ng marami at mabibigat na mga paratang laban sa kanya, na hindi naman nila mapatunayan. 8 Ipinagtanggol ni Pablo ang sarili at sinabi nito, “Wala akong ginawang anuman laban sa kautusan ng mga Judio, o laban sa templo, o maging sa Emperador.” 9 Ngunit nais ni Festo na pagbigyan ang mga Judio, kaya tinanong niya si Pablo, “Gusto mo bang pumunta sa Jerusalem upang doon kita litisin tungkol sa mga ito?” 10 Sumagot si Pablo, “Nakatayo na ako sa hukuman ng Emperador. Dito ako dapat litisin. Alam na alam ninyong wala akong ginawang masama laban sa mga Judio. 11 Kung ako'y nagkasala at nakagawa ng anumang bagay na karapat-dapat sa kamatayan, hindi ko tatakasan ang kamatayan. Ngunit kung walang katotohanan ang kanilang mga paratang laban sa akin, walang sinuman ang may karapatang magbigay sa akin sa kanila. Dumudulog ako sa Emperador.” 12 Pagkatapos pulungin ni Festo ang sanggunian, sumagot siya, “Sa Emperador nais mong dumulog? Sa Emperador ka pupunta.”
Si Pablo sa Harap nina Agripa at Bernice
13 Makaraan ang ilang araw, dumating si Haring Agripa at si Bernice sa Cesarea upang batiin si Festo. 14 Nang matagal-tagal na sila roon, isinalaysay ni Festo sa hari ang kaso ni Pablo. Sinabi niya, “May iniwan dito si Felix, isang lalaking bilanggo. 15 Noong ako'y nasa Jerusalem ay ipinagbigay-alam ng mga punong pari at ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio ang tungkol sa kanya at hiniling na parusahan ko siya. 16 Sinabi ko sa kanilang hindi kaugalian ng mga Romano na ibigay ang sinumang tao sa mga nagsasakdal sa kanya hanggang hindi nagkakaharap ang isinasakdal at ang mga nagsasakdal. Ito'y upang mabigyan siya ng pagkakataong maipagtanggol ang kanyang sarili. 17 Kaya't nang sila'y magkakasamang dumating dito ay hindi na ako nag-aksaya ng panahon. Kinabukasan din ay umupo ako sa hukuman at ipinatawag ko siya. 18 Nang tumayo ang mga nagsasakdal, walang anuman sa kanilang mga paratang ang mabigat gaya ng inakala kong ipaparatang nila. 19 Sa halip, ang pinagtalunan nila'y tungkol sa kanilang relihiyon, at tungkol sa isang tao na ang pangala'y Jesus. Patay na ang taong ito, ngunit pinaninindigan ni Pablo na siya'y buháy. 20 Dahil naguguluhan ako tungkol dito, tinanong ko si Pablo kung ibig niyang sa Jerusalem siya litisin tungkol sa mga paratang na ito. 21 Ngunit hiniling niya na manatili na lamang sa bilangguan at ipaubaya sa Emperador ang pagpapasya sa kanyang kaso. Dahil dito'y ipinag-utos kong bantayan siya hanggang siya'y maipadala ko sa Emperador.” 22 Sinabi ni Agripa kay Festo, “Ibig ko ring mapakinggan ang taong iyan.” “Mapapakinggan mo siya bukas,” tugon ni Festo.
23 Kinabukasa'y buong ringal na dumating sina Agripa at Bernice. Pumasok sila sa bulwagan ng hukuman kasama ang mga punong kapitan at ang mga kilalang tao sa lungsod. Pagkatapos ay ipinasok si Pablo sa utos ni Festo. 24 Sinabi ni Festo, “Haring Agripa, at lahat ng mga kasama namin ngayon, masdan ninyo ang taong ito na ipinagsakdal sa akin ng sambayanan ng mga Judio dito at sa Jerusalem. Ipinagsisigawan nilang wala na siyang karapatang mabuhay. 25 Ngunit wala akong natagpuang anuman upang parusahan siya ng kamatayan. Sapagkat mismong siya ay dumudulog sa Emperador, ipinasya kong siya'y ipadala roon. 26 Ngunit wala akong maisulat sa Emperador na malinaw na paratang laban sa taong ito. Kaya iniharap ko siya sa inyong lahat, lalung-lalo na sa harapan ninyo, Haring Agripa, upang may maisulat ako pagkatapos natin siyang siyasatin. 27 Sapagkat inaakala kong hindi makatuwiran na ipadala sa Emperador ang isang bilanggo nang hindi nililinaw ang sakdal laban sa kanya.”

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.”

Paul Appeals to Caesar
25 Now when Festus had come to the province, after three days he went up from (A)Caesarea to Jerusalem. 2 (B)Then the [a]high priest and the chief men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they petitioned him, 3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem—(C)while they lay in ambush along the road to kill him. 4 But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was going there shortly. 5 “Therefore,” he said, “let those who have authority among you go down with me and accuse this man, to see (D)if there is any fault in him.”
6 And when he had remained among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. 7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood about (E)and laid many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove, 8 while he answered for himself, (F)“Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all.”
9 But Festus, (G)wanting to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, (H)“Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be judged before me concerning these things?”
10 So Paul said, “I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know. 11 (I)For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. (J)I appeal to Caesar.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!”
Paul Before Agrippa
13 And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus. 14 When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying: (K)“There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix, 15 (L)about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him. 16 (M)To them I answered, ‘It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man [b]to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.’ 17 Therefore when they had come together, (N)without any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought in. 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation against him of such things as I [c]supposed, 19 (O)but had some questions against him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who had died, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 20 And because I was uncertain of such questions, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters. 21 But when Paul (P)appealed to be reserved for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar.”
22 Then (Q)Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”
“Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
23 So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great [d]pomp, and had entered the auditorium with the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at Festus’ command (R)Paul was brought in. 24 And Festus said: “King Agrippa and all the men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom (S)the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he was (T)not fit to live any longer. 25 But when I found that (U)he had committed nothing deserving of death, (V)and that he himself had appealed to Augustus, I decided to send him. 26 I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write. 27 For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him.”

Pablo ante Festo
25 Festo, entonces, tres días después de haber llegado a la provincia(A), subió a Jerusalén desde Cesarea(B). 2 Y los principales sacerdotes y los judíos más influyentes le presentaron acusaciones contra Pablo(C), e insistían con Festo[a], 3 pidiéndole, el favor[b] de que hiciera traer a Pablo a Jerusalén[c], preparando ellos, al mismo tiempo, una emboscada para matarlo(D) en el camino.
4 Pero Festo respondió(E) que Pablo estaba bajo custodia(F) en Cesarea(G), y que en breve él mismo saldría para allá. 5 Por tanto dijo*: «Que los más influyentes de ustedes vayan allá[d] conmigo, y si hay algo malo en el hombre, que lo acusen».
Pablo apela a César
6 Después de haberse quedado no más de ocho o diez días entre ellos, descendió a Cesarea(H), y al día siguiente se sentó en el tribunal(I) y ordenó que trajeran a Pablo. 7 Cuando este llegó, lo rodearon los judíos que habían descendido de Jerusalén, presentando contra él muchas y graves acusaciones(J) que no podían probar(K), 8 mientras Pablo decía en defensa propia: «No he cometido ningún delito, ni contra la ley de los judíos, ni contra el templo(L), ni contra César».
9 Pero Festo, queriendo hacer un favor a los judíos(M), respondió a Pablo, y dijo: «¿Estás dispuesto a subir a Jerusalén y a ser juzgado delante de mí por estas acusaciones(N)?». 10 Entonces Pablo respondió: «Ante el tribunal(O) de César estoy, que es donde debo ser juzgado. Ningún agravio he hecho a los judíos, como también usted muy bien sabe. 11 Si soy, pues, un malhechor y he hecho algo digno de muerte, no rehúso morir. Pero si ninguna de esas cosas de que estos me acusan es verdad, nadie puede entregarme a ellos. Apelo a César(P)». 12 Entonces Festo, habiendo deliberado con el consejo[e], respondió: «A César has apelado, a César irás».
Pablo ante Herodes Agripa II
13 Pasados varios días, el rey Herodes Agripa II y Berenice llegaron a Cesarea(Q) y fueron a saludar a Festo[f]. 14 Como estuvieron allí muchos días, Festo presentó el caso de Pablo ante el rey, diciendo: «Hay un hombre que Félix dejó preso(R), 15 acerca del cual, estando yo en Jerusalén, los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos de los judíos presentaron acusaciones contra él(S), pidiendo sentencia condenatoria contra él. 16 Yo les respondí(T) que no es costumbre de los romanos entregar a un hombre sin que antes el acusado confronte a sus acusadores(U), y tenga la oportunidad de defenderse de los cargos.
17 »Así que cuando[g] se reunieron aquí, sin ninguna demora, al día siguiente me senté en el tribunal(V) y ordené traer al hombre. 18 Levantándose los acusadores, presentaban acusaciones contra él, pero no de la clase de crímenes que yo suponía, 19 sino que simplemente tenían contra él ciertas cuestiones(W) sobre su propia religión[h](X), y sobre cierto Jesús, ya muerto, de quien Pablo afirmaba que estaba vivo.
20 »Pero estando yo perplejo cómo investigar estas cuestiones, le pregunté si estaba dispuesto a ir a Jerusalén y ser juzgado de estas cosas allá(Y). 21 Pero como Pablo apeló(Z) que se le tuviera bajo custodia para que el emperador Nerón diera el fallo, ordené que continuara bajo custodia hasta que yo lo enviara a César». 22 Entonces Agripa II(AA) dijo a Festo: «A mí también me gustaría oír al hombre». «Mañana lo oirás», dijo* Festo.
23 Así que al día siguiente, cuando Agripa II y Berenice(AB) entraron al auditorio en medio de gran pompa, acompañados por[i] los comandantes[j] y los hombres importantes de la ciudad, por orden de Festo, fue traído Pablo. 24 Y Festo dijo*: «Rey Agripa y todos los demás[k] aquí presentes con nosotros; este es el hombre acerca del cual los judíos(AC), tanto en Jerusalén como aquí, me hicieron una petición declarando a gritos que no debe vivir más(AD).
25 »Pero a mí me parece que no ha hecho nada digno de muerte(AE), pero como él mismo apeló al emperador[l], he decidido enviarlo(AF) a Roma. 26 Sin embargo, no tengo nada definido sobre él[m] para escribirle a mi señor. Por eso lo he traído ante ustedes, y especialmente ante ti, rey Agripa, para que después de que se le interrogue[n], yo tenga algo que escribir. 27 Porque me parece absurdo, al enviar un preso, no informar también de los cargos en su contra».
