Acts 26:30-32

30Then the king stood up, and [with him] the governor and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them;

31and after they had gone out, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything worthy of death or [even] of imprisonment.”

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