Acts 25:13-27

13AndG1161 afterG1230 certainG5100 daysG2250 kingG3588G935 AgrippaG67 andG2532 BerniceG959 cameG2658 untoG1519 CæsareaG2542 to saluteG782 FestusG3588G5347.

14AndG1161 whenG5613 they had beenG1304 thereG1563 manyG4119 daysG2250, FestusG3588G5347 declaredG394 Paul’sG3588G3972 causeG2596 unto the kingG3588G935, sayingG3004, There isG1510 a certainG5100 manG435 leftG2641 in bondsG1198 byG5259 FelixG5344:

15AboutG4012 whomG3739, when IG1473 wasG1096 atG1519 JerusalemG2414, the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the JewsG2453 informedG1718 me, desiringG154 to have judgmentG1349 againstG2596 himG846.

16ToG4314 whomG3739 I answeredG611, It isG1510 notG3756 the mannerG1485 of the RomansG4514 to deliverG5483 anyG5100 manG444 toG1519 dieG684, beforeG4250 thatG2228 he whichG3588 is accusedG2723 haveG2192 the accusersG3588G2725 faceG4383 toG2596 faceG4383, andG5037 haveG2983 licenceG5117 to answer for himselfG627 concerningG4012 the crime laid against himG3588G1462.

17ThereforeG3767, when theyG846 were comeG4905 hitherG1759, withoutG3367 any delayG311 on the morrowG1836 I satG2523 onG1909 the judgment seatG3588G968, and commandedG2753 the manG3588G435 to be brought forthG71.

18AgainstG4012 whomG3739 when the accusersG3588G2725 stood upG2476, they broughtG2018 noneG3762 accusationG156 of such thingsG3739 as IG1473 supposedG5282:

19ButG1161 hadG2192 certainG5100 questionsG2213 againstG4314 himG846 ofG4012 their ownG2398 superstitionG1175, andG2532 ofG4012 oneG5100 JesusG2424, which was deadG2348, whomG3739 PaulG3588G3972 affirmedG5335 to be aliveG2198.

20AndG1161 becauseG639 IG1473 doubtedG639 ofG1519 suchG4012 mannerG3778 of questionsG2214, I askedG3004 him whetherG1487 he wouldG1014 goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, and thereG2546 be judgedG2919 ofG4012 these mattersG3778.

21ButG1161 when PaulG3588G3972 had appealedG1941 to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 the hearingG3588G1233 of AugustusG3588G4575, I commandedG2753 himG846 to be keptG5083 tillG2193 I might sendG3992 himG846 toG4314 CæsarG2541.

22ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 FestusG3588G5347, I wouldG1014 alsoG2532 hearG191 the manG3588G444 myselfG846. To morrowG839, said heG5346, thou shalt hearG191 himG846.

23AndG3767 on the morrowG1887, when AgrippaG3588G67 was comeG2064, andG2532 BerniceG3588G959, withG3326 greatG4183 pompG5325, andG2532 was enteredG1525 intoG1519 the place of hearingG3588G201, withG4862 the chief captainsG3588G5506, andG2532 principalG1851 menG435 of the cityG3588G4172, atG2596 Festus’G3588G5347 commandmentG2753 PaulG3588G3972 was brought forthG71.

24AndG2532 FestusG3588G5347 saidG5346, KingG935 AgrippaG67, andG2532 all menG3956 whichG3588 are here presentG4840 with usG1473, ye seeG2334 thisG3778 manG435, aboutG4012 whomG3739 allG3956 the multitudeG3588G4128 of the JewsG3588G2453 have dealtG1793 with meG1473, bothG5037 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 also hereG1759, crying thatG1916 heG846 oughtG1163 notG3361 to liveG2198 any longerG3371.

25ButG1161 when IG1473 foundG2638 that heG846 had committedG4238 nothingG3367 worthyG514 of deathG2288, andG2532 that heG3778 himselfG846 hath appealed toG1941 AugustusG4575, I have determinedG2919 to sendG3992 himG846.

26OfG4012 whomG3739 I haveG2192 noG3756 certainG804 thingG5100 to writeG1125 unto my lordG3588G2962. WhereforeG1352 I have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254 beforeG1909 youG4771, andG2532 speciallyG3122 beforeG1909 theeG4771, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, thatG3704, after examinationG3588G351 hadG1096, I might haveG2192 somewhatG5101 to writeG1125.

27ForG1063 it seemethG1380 to meG1473 unreasonableG249 to sendG3992 a prisonerG1198, andG2532 notG3361 withal to signifyG4591 the crimesG156 laid againstG2596 himG846.
