Acts 25:21-27

21ButG1161 when PaulG3972 appealedG1941 to be held overG5083 forG1519 theG3588 decisionG1233 of theG3588 EmperorG4575, I ordered thatG2753 heG846 be heldG5083 untilG2193 I could sendG375 himG846 toG4314 CaesarG2541.”

22ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 said toG4314 FestusG5347, “I would likeG1014 to hearG191 this manG444 myselfG846.”

“TomorrowG839 you will hearG191 himG846,” Festus declaredG5346.

TheG3588 next dayG1887 AgrippaG67 andG2532 BerniceG959 cameG2064 withG3326 greatG4183 pompG5325 andG2532 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 auditoriumG201, along withG4862 the commandersG5506 andG2532 leadingG2596G1851 menG435 of theG3588 cityG4172. AndG2532 FestusG5347 ordered thatG2753 PaulG3972 be brought inG71.

24ThenG2532 FestusG5347 saidG5346, “KingG935 AgrippaG67 andG2532 allG3956 who are present withG4840 usG1473, you seeG2334 thisG3778 man. TheG3588 wholeG537 JewishG3588G2453 communityG4128 has petitionedG1793 meG1473 aboutG4012 him, bothG5037 hereG1759 andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2414, crying outG994 that he oughtG1163 notG3361 to liveG2198 any longerG3371. 25ButG1161 IG1473 foundG2638 heG846 had doneG4238 nothingG3367 worthyG514 of deathG2288, and since heG3778G846 has now appealed toG1161G1941 theG3588 EmperorG4575, I decidedG2919 to sendG3992 him.

26I haveG2192 nothingG3756G5100 definiteG804 to writeG1125 toG3588 our sovereignG2962 aboutG4012 him. ThereforeG1352 I have broughtG4254 himG846 beforeG1909 all of youG4771, andG2532 especiallyG3122 beforeG1909 youG4771, KingG935 AgrippaG67, so thatG3704 after this inquiryG351G1096 I may haveG2192 somethingG5101 to writeG1125. 27ForG1063 it seemsG1380 unreasonableG249 to meG1473 to send onG3992 a prisonerG1198 withoutG3361G2532 specifyingG4591 theG3588 chargesG156 againstG2596 himG846.”
