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 ^(B)the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, ^(C)shouting that he ought not to live any longer. ²⁵ But I found that ^(D)he had done nothing deserving death. And ^(E)as he himself appealed to ^(F)the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him. ²⁶ But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him.
