Acts 25:1-8

1FestusG5347 thereforeG3767, having comeG305 into the provinceG1885, after threeG5140 daysG2250 wentG305 up to JerusalemG2414 from Cæsarea. 2And the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the principal men of the JewsG2453 informed him against PaulG3972; and they besought him, 3askingG154 a favorG5485 against him, that he would sendG3343 for him to JerusalemG2419; laying a plot to kill him on the wayG3598. 4Howbeit FestusG5347 answeredG611, that PaulG3972 was keptG5083 in charge at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart thither shortly. 5Let them thereforeG3767, saith he, that areG1510 of powerG1415 among you go down with me, and if there isG1510 anythingG5100 amiss in the manG435, let them accuseG2723 him.

6And when he had tarried among them not moreG4183 than eightG3638 or tenG1176 daysG2250, he wentG2597 downG2597 unto Cæsarea; and on the morrow he satG2523 on the judgment-seat, and commandedG2753 PaulG3972 to be broughtG71. 7And when he was comeG2597, the JewsG2453 that had comeG2597 down from JerusalemG2414 stood round about him, bringing against him manyG4183 and grievous charges which they could not prove; 8while PaulG3972 said in his defence, Neither against the lawG3551 of the JewsG2453, nor against the templeG2411, nor against Cæsar, have I sinnedG264 at all.
