Acts 25:13-17

13Several days later, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea and paid a courtesy call on Festus.

14Since they were staying there several days, Festus presented Paul’s case to the king, saying, “There’s a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix.

15When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented their case and asked that he be condemned.

16I answered them that it is not the Roman custom to give someone up before the accused faces the accusers and has an opportunity for a defense against the charges.

17So when they had assembled here, I did not delay. The next day I took my seat at the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.
