Paul before Festus

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:1 -

Festus G5347, then G3767, after arriving G1910 in the province G1885, went G305 up G305 to Jerusalem G2414 from Caesarea G2542 three G5140 days G2250 later G3326.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:2 - And the chief G749 priests G749 and the leading G4413 men G4413 of the Jews G2453 brought G1718 charges G1718 against G2596 Paul G3972, and they were pleading G3870 with [fn]Festus,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:3 - requesting G154 a [fn]concession G5485 against G2596 [fn]Paul, that he might [fn]have him brought G3343 to Jerusalem G2419 (at the same time, setting G4160 an ambush G1747 to kill G337 him on the way G3598).
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:4 - Festus G5347 then G3767 answered G611 that Paul G3972 was being kept G5083 in G5083 custody G5083 in Caesarea G2542, and that he himself G1438 was G3195 about G3195 to G3195 leave G1607 shortly G5034.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:5 - “Therefore G3767,” he *said G5346, “have the influential G1415 men G1415 among G1722 you [fn]go G4782 there with me, and if G1487 there is anything G5100 wrong G824 [fn]about G1722 the man G435, have them bring G2723 charges G2723 against G2723 him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:6 -

After Festus had spent G1304 no G3756 more G4183 than eight G3638 or G2228 ten G1176 days G2250 among G1722 them, he went G2597 down G2597 to Caesarea G2542, and on the next G1887 day G1887 he took G2523 his seat G2523 on the tribunal G968 and ordered G2753 that Paul G3972 be brought G71.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:7 - After Paul arrived G3854, the Jews G2453 who had come G2597 down G2597 from Jerusalem G2414 stood G4026 around G4026 him, bringing G2702 many G4183, and serious G926, charges G157 against G2702 him which G3739 they could G2480 not prove G584,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:8 - while Paul G3972 said G626 in G626 his own defense G626, “I have not done G264 anything G5100 wrong G264 either G3777 against G1519 the Law G3551 of the Jews G2453, or G3777 against G1519 the temple G2413, or G3777 against G1519 Caesar G2541.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:9 - But Festus G5347, wanting G2309 to do G2698 the Jews G2453 a favor G5485, replied G611 to Paul G3972 and said G3004, “Are you willing G2309 to go G305 up G305 to Jerusalem G2414 and [fn]stand G2919 trial G2919 before G1909 me on these G3778 charges?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:10 - But Paul G3972 said G3004, “I am G1510 standing G2476 before G1909 Caesar’s G2541 tribunal G968, where G3757 I ought G1163 to be tried G2919. I have done G91 nothing G3762 wrong G91 to the Jews G2453, as you also G2532 very G2573 well G2573 know G1921.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:11 - “If G1487, therefore G3767, I am G91 in G91 the G91 wrong G91 and have committed G4238 something G5100 deserving G514 death G2288, I am not trying G3868 to G3868 avoid G3868 execution G599; but if G1487 there is nothing G3762 to the accusations G2723 which G3739 these G3778 men G3778 are bringing G2723 against G2723 me, no G3762 one G3762 can G1410 hand G5483 me over G5483 to them. I appeal G1941 to G1941 Caesar G2541.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:12 - Then G5119 when Festus G5347 had conferred G4814 with [fn]his council G4824, he answered G611, “You have appealed G1941 to G1941 Caesar G2541; to Caesar G2541 you shall go G4198.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:13 -

Now G1161 when several G5100 days G2250 had passed G1230, King G935 Agrippa G67 and Bernice G959 arrived G2658 in Caesarea G2542, paying G782 their respects G782 to Festus G5347.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:14 - And while G5613 they were spending G1304 many G4183 days G2250 there G1563, Festus G5347 presented G394 Paul’s G3972 case G3588 G2596 to the king G935, saying G3004, “There is a man G435 who was left G2641 as a prisoner G1198 by Felix G5344;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:15 - and when I was in Jerusalem G2414, the chief G749 priests G749 and the elders G4245 of the Jews G2453 brought G1718 charges G1718 against G4012 him, asking G154 for a sentence G6048 of G6048 condemnation G6048 against G4012 him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:16 - “I replied G611 to them that it is not the custom G1485 of the Romans G4514 to hand G5483 over G5483 any G5100 person G444 before G4250 the accused G2723 meets G2192 his accusers G2725 face G4383 to face G4383, and has G2192 an opportunity G5117 to make his defense G627 against G4012 the charges G1462.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:17 - “So G3767 after they had assembled G4905 here G1759, I did not delay G311, but on the next G1836 day took G2523 my seat G2523 on the tribunal G968 and ordered G2753 that the man G435 be brought G71.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:18 - “When the accusers G2725 stood G2476 up, they did not begin bringing G5342 any G3762 charges G156 [fn]against G4012 him of crimes G4190 that I suspected G5282,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:19 - but they simply had G2192 some G5100 points G2213 of G2213 disagreement G2213 with him about G4012 their own G2398 [fn]religion G1175 and about G4012 a dead G2348 man G2348, Jesus G2424, whom G3739 Paul G3972 asserted G5335 to be alive G2198.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:20 - “And being G639 at G639 a G639 loss G639 how G2214 to G2214 investigate G2214 [fn]such G3778 matters, I [fn]asked G3004 whether G1487 he was willing G1014 to go G4198 to Jerusalem G2414 and stand G2919 trial G2919 there G2546 on these G3778 matters.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:21 - “But when Paul G3972 appealed G1941 to be held G5083 in G5083 custody G5083 for [fn]the Emperor’s G4575 decision G1233, I ordered G2753 that he be kept G5083 in G5083 custody G5083 until G2193 I send G375 him to Caesar G2541.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:22 - Then G2532 Agrippa G67 said to Festus G5347, “I also G2532 would like G1014 to hear G191 the man G444 myself G846.” “Tomorrow G839,” he *said G5346, “you shall hear G191 him.”

Paul before Agrippa

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:23 -

So G3767, on the next G1887 day G1887 when Agrippa G67 and Bernice G959 came G2064 amid G3326 great G4183 pomp G5325 and entered G1525 the auditorium G201, [fn]accompanied G4862 by the commanders G5506 and the prominent G1851 men G435 of the city G4172, at the command G2753 of Festus G5347, Paul G3972 was brought G71 before them.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:24 - And Festus G5347 *said G5346, “King G935 Agrippa G67, and all G3956 you gentlemen G435 present G4840 with us, you see G2334 this G3778 man G3778 about G4012 whom G3739 all G537 the people G4128 of the Jews G2453 appealed G1793 to me, both G5037 in Jerusalem G2414 and here G1759, shouting G994 that he ought G1163 not to live G2198 any G3371 longer G3371.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:25 - “But I found G2638 that he had committed G4238 nothing G3367 deserving G514 death G2288; and since he himself G846 appealed G1941 to G1941 [fn]the Emperor G4575, I decided G2919 to send G3992 him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:26 - [fn]Yet, I have G2192 nothing G3756 definite G804 about G4012 him to write G1125 to my lord G2962. Therefore G1352, I have brought G4254 him before G4254 you all and especially G3122 before G1909 you, King G935 Agrippa G67, so G3704 that G3704 after the investigation G351 has taken G1096 place G1096, I may have G2192 something G5101 to write G1125.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 25:27 - “For it seems G1380 absurd G249 to me in sending G3992 a prisoner G1198, not to indicate G4591 the charges G156 against G2596 him as G2532 well G2532.”
