³² Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free^(A) if he had not appealed to Caesar.”^(B)

¹⁸ They examined me^(A) and wanted to release me,^(B) because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.^(C)

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!”^(A)

¹² After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”

²⁵ I found he had done nothing deserving of death,^(A) but because he made his appeal to the Emperor^(B) I decided to send him to Rome.
