44:025:006 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went
           down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment
           seat commanded Paul to be brought.

44:025:007 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem
           stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints
           against Paul, which they could not prove.

44:025:008 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the
           Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have
           I offended any thing at all.

44:025:009 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?

44:025:010 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.

44:025:011 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.

44:025:012 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered,
           Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

44:025:013 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto
           Caesarea to salute Festus.

44:025:014 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s
           cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in
           bonds by Felix: 

44:025:015 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the
           elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment
           against him.

44:025:016 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to
           deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have
           the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for
           himself concerning the crime laid against him.

44:025:017 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on
           the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man
           to be brought forth.

44:025:018 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none
           accusation of such things as I supposed: 

44:025:019 But had certain questions against him of their own
           superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul
           affirmed to be alive.

44:025:020 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him
           whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these
           matters.

44:025:021 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of
           Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to
           Caesar.
