13 And after certain days, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea, to salute Festus. 14 And when they had stayed there many days, Festus rehearsed Pauls cause to the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds of Felix. 15 About whom, when I came to Jerusalem, the high priests and Elders of the Jews informed me, requiring judgement against him, 16 To whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans, for favour to deliver any man, that he should perish, before he that is accused have his accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself, concerning the crime laid against him. 17 Therefore when they were come hither without delay, on the morrow I sate on the judgement seat, and commanded the man to be brought. 18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation concerning such things as I supposed: 19 But they had certain questions concerning their^“ superstition against him, and concerning one Jesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be a live. 20 And because I doubted of this question, I asked him if he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things. 21 And when Paul had appealed, that he might be kept unto the knowledge of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him unto Caesar.
