1 Three days after Festus arrived, he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2 There the chief priests and Jewish leaders came to him and brought their charges against Paul.
3 They tried to get Festus to have Paul taken to Jerusalem. They asked for this as a favor. They were planning to hide and attack Paul along the way. They wanted to kill him.
4 Festus answered, "Paul is being held at Caesarea. Soon I'll be going there myself.
5 Let some of your leaders come with me. If the man has done anything wrong, they can bring charges against him there."
