Acts 25:1-5

1Festus, then, after arriving in 1the province, went up to Jerusalem from 2Caesarea three days later. 2And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews 3brought charges against Paul, and they were pleading with 4Festus, 3requesting a 5concession against 6Paul, that he might 7have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, 8setting an ambush to kill him on the way). 4Festus then 9answered that Paul 10was being kept in custody in 11Caesarea, and that he himself was about to leave shortly. 5“Therefore,” he said, “have the influential men among you 12go there with me, and if there is anything wrong 13about the man, have them bring charges against him.”
