And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/25-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood about and laid many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/25-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>while he answered for himself, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/25-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be judged before me concerning these things?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/25-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So Paul said, “I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged.

I appeal to Caesar.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/25-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar?

Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/25-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him.”</span></p> <A name="footnotes"></a><div class="footnotes"><h4>Footnotes:</h4><ol><li id="fen-NKJV-27799a"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 25:2">Acts 25:2</span> <span class='footnote-text'>NU <i>chief priests</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27813b"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 25:16">Acts 25:16</span> <span class='footnote-text'>NU omits <i>to destruction,</i> although it is implied</span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27815c"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 25:18">Acts 25:18</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>suspected</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27820d"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 25:23">Acts 25:23</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>pageantry</i></span></li></ol></div> </span></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson.
