Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple(A) or against Caesar.”

Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(B) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(C)

I have not done any wrong to the Jews,(D) 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!”(E)

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

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.
