Acts 25:21-27

21But when PaulG3972 1appealedG1941 to be heldG5083 in custodyG5083 for 2the Emperor’sG4575 decisionG1233, I orderedG2753 him to be keptG5083 in custodyG5083 untilG2193 I sendG375 him to CaesarG2541.” 22ThenG2532 3AgrippaG67 said to FestusG5347, “I alsoG2532 would likeG1014 to hearG191 the manG444 myselfG846.” “TomorrowG839,” he saidG5346, “you shall hearG191 him.”

23SoG3767, on the nextG1887 dayG1887 when 4AgrippaG67 cameG2064 5togetherG2532 with 6BerniceG959 amidG3326 greatG4183 pompG5325, and enteredG1525 the auditoriumG201 7accompaniedG4862 by the 8commandersG5506 and the prominentG1851 menG435 of the cityG4172, at the commandG2753 of FestusG5347, PaulG3972 was broughtG71 in. 24FestusG5347 saidG5346, “KingG935 AgrippaG67, and allG3956 you gentlemenG435 hereG4840 presentG4840 with us, you seeG2334 thisG3778 manG3778 aboutG4012 whomG3739 9allG537 the peopleG4128 of the JewsG2453 appealedG1793 to me, bothG5037 at JerusalemG2414 and hereG1759, loudlyG994 declaringG994 that 10he oughtG1163 not to liveG2198 anyG3371 longerG3371. 25But I foundG2638 that he had committedG4238 11nothingG3367 worthyG514 of deathG2288; and since he himselfG846 12appealedG1941 to 13the EmperorG4575, I decidedG2919 to sendG3992 him. 2614Yet I haveG2192 nothingG3756 definiteG804 aboutG4012 him to writeG1125 to my lordG2962. ThereforeG1352 I have broughtG4254 him beforeG4254 you all and especiallyG3122 beforeG1909 you, KingG935 AgrippaG67, soG3704 that after the investigationG351 has takenG1096 placeG1096, I may haveG2192 somethingG5101 to writeG1125. 27For it seemsG1380 absurdG249 to me in sendingG3992 a prisonerG1198, not to indicateG4591 alsoG2532 the chargesG156 againstG2596 him.”
