1 Now three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
2 So the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought formal charges against Paul to him.
3 Requesting him to do them a favor against Paul, they urged Festus to summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him along the way.
4 Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself intended to go there shortly.
