1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesare´a to Jerusalem.
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3 and desired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesare´a, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesare´a; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
