25 총독으로 부임한 지 3일 후에 베스도는 가이사랴에서 예루살렘으로 올라갔다.
2 그러자 대제사장들과 유대인 지도자들이 바울을 고소하며
3 그를 예루살렘으로 보내 줄 것을 부탁했다. 그들은 도중에 사람들을 숨겨 놓았다가 바울을 죽일 음모를 꾸미고 있었던 것이다.
4 그때 베스도가 이렇게 대답하였다. “바울은 가이사랴에 갇혀 있고 나도 곧 그리로 가야 합니다.
5 만일 바울에게 어떤 잘못이 있으면 여러분의 대표자가 나와 함께 가서 그를 고소하도록 하시오.”
바울의 재판
6 예루살렘에서 [a]열흘 가까이 머물다가 가이사랴로 내려간 베스도는 이튿날 법정에 앉아 바울을 데려오라고 명령하였다.
7 바울이 나타나자 예루살렘에서 온 유대인들이 둘러서서 여러 가지 죄로 그를 고소하였으나 전혀 증거를 대지 못하였다.
8 그때 바울이 “나는 유대인의 율법이나 성전이나 황제에 대해서 아무런 죄도 짓지 않았습니다” 하고 변명하였다.
9 베스도는 유대인들의 호감을 사려고 “네가 예루살렘으로 올라가서 이 사건에 대하여 내 앞에서 재판을 받겠느냐?” 하고 물었다.
10 그래서 바울이 이렇게 대답하였다. “나는 황제의 법정에서 재판을 받겠습니다. 각하께서도 아시다시피 나는 유대인들에게 잘못한 일이 전혀 없습니다.
11 내가 만일 죽을 죄를 지었다면 사형도 달게 받겠습니다. 그러나 이들의 고소가 사실이 아니라면 아무도 나를 그들에게 넘겨 줄 수 없습니다. 나는 로마 황제에게 상소합니다.”
12 베스도는 배석한 사람들과 의논한 후 “네가 황제께 상소하였으니 황제에게 갈 것이다” 하고 선언하였다.
13 며칠 후에 아그립바왕과 버니게가 새로 부임한 베스도를 예방하려고 가이사랴에 왔다.
14 그들이 거기서 여러 날을 지내는 중에 베스도는 바울의 사건을 다음과 같이 왕에게 이야기했다. “여기에 벨릭스가 인계한 죄수 하나가 있습니다.
15 내가 예루살렘에 올라갔을 때 유대인의 대제사장들과 장로들이 그를 고소하여 유죄 판결을 내려 달라고 하였으나
16 나는 그들에게 피고가 원고를 대면하여 그 사건에 대해 변명할 기회를 갖기 전에 그를 넘겨 주는 것은 로마 관례가 아니라고 설명해 주었습니다.
17 그들이 이 곳에 온 다음날 나는 지체하지 않고 법정을 열어 바울을 데려오라고 했습니다.
18 그를 고발한 사람들이 일어나 말했으나 내가 생각했던 것과 같은 죄는 하나도 들춰내지 못하고
19 자기들의 종교 문제와 또 죽은 예수를 바울이 살아났다고 주장하는 것에 관한 것뿐이었습니다.
20 나는 이 문제를 어떻게 해결할까 망설이다가 예루살렘에 가서 재판을 받는 것이 어떠냐고 그에게 물어 보았습니다.
21 그러나 바울은 황제의 판결을 받겠다고 상소하기에 내가 그를 황제에게 보낼 때까지 가두어 두었습니다.”
22 이 말을 듣고 아그립바가 “그의 말을 직접 듣고 싶소” 하자 베스도는 “내일 그렇게 하도록 하겠습니다” 하고 대답하였다.
23 이튿날 아그립바와 버니게가 화려하게 차리고 와서 군 지휘관들과 그 도시 유지들과 함께 법정으로 들어갔고 베스도의 명령으로 바울도 끌려나왔다.
24 이때 베스도가 이렇게 말하였다. “아그립바왕과 이 자리에 계신 여러분, 보시는 바와 같이 이 사람은 예루살렘과 이 곳 유대인들이 죽여야 한다고 외치며 내게 고소한 사람입니다.
25 그러나 내가 조사해 보니 그에게는 죽일 만한 죄가 없었고 또 그가 황제께 상소했기 때문에 로마로 보내기로 결정했습니다.
26 그런데 나는 그에 대하여 황제께 올릴 확실한 자료가 없습니다. 그래서 오늘 조사하여 보고할 자료를 얻으려고 여러분 앞과 특히 아그립바왕 앞에 이 사람을 불러냈습니다.
27 죄명을 확실하게 밝히지 않고 죄수를 보낸다는 것은 옳은 일이 아닌 것 같습니다.”

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.

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 three days after Festus had arrived in (A)the province, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. 2 And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews (B)laid out their case against Paul, and they urged him, 3 asking as a favor against Paul[a] that he summon him to Jerusalem—because (C)they were planning an ambush to kill him on the way. 4 Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea and that he himself intended to go there shortly. 5 “So,” said he, “let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them bring charges against him.”
6 After he stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day he took his seat on (D)the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought. 7 When he had arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him (E)that they could not prove. 8 Paul argued in his defense, “Neither (F)against (G)the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor (H)against Caesar have I committed any offense.” 9 But Festus, (I)wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me?” 10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar's (J)tribunal, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself know very well. 11 If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. (K)I appeal to Caesar.” 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you shall go.”
Paul Before Agrippa and Bernice
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus. 14 And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, (L)“There is a man left prisoner by Felix, 15 and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid out their case (M)against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him. 16 (N)I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up anyone (O)before the accused met the accusers face to face and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him. 17 (P)So when they came together here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat on (Q)the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought. 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed. 19 Rather they (R)had certain points of dispute with him about their own religion and about (S)a certain Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive. 20 Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I (T)asked whether he wanted to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them. 21 But (U)when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of (V)the emperor, I ordered him to be held until I could send him to Caesar.” 22 Then (W)Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” said he, “you will hear him.”
23 So on the next day (X)Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom (Y)the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, (Z)shouting that he ought not to live any longer. 25 But I found that (AA)he had done nothing deserving death. And (AB)as he himself appealed to (AC)the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write. 27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.”
