30 Then the king rose, and (D)the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them. 31 And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, (E)“This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, (F)“This man could have been set (G)free if he had not appealed (H)to Caesar.”
