Acts 25:13-17

13After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.

14While they were staying there many days, Festus explained Paul’s case to the king to get his opinion, saying, “There is a man left here as a prisoner by Felix.

15When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me about him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.

16I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to hand over anyone before the accused had met his accusers face to face and had been given an opportunity to make a defense against the accusation.

17So after they came back here with me, I did not postpone the case, but the next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered the man to be brought.
