Acts 25:1-5
New Matthew Bible
The Jews accuse Paul before Festus. Paul appeals to the Emperor and is sent to Rome.
25 When Festus had arrived in the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem. 2 Then the high priests and the chief men of the Jews made submissions to him about Paul. And they entreated him, 3 and requested his indulgence concerning Paul, that he would send for him to come to Jerusalem. And they planned to lay wait for him along the way, to kill him.
4 But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, but that he himself would shortly go there. 5 Therefore (said he), let those among you who are able to do it come down with us, and bring your case against him there, if there be any fault in the man.

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.”
