1 Three days after Festus arrived in Caesarea to take over his new responsibilities, he left for Jerusalem,
2 where the leading priests and other Jewish leaders met with him and made their accusations against Paul.
3 They asked Festus as a favor to transfer Paul to Jerusalem (planning to ambush and kill him on the way).
4 But Festus replied that Paul was at Caesarea and he himself would be returning there soon.
5 So he said, “Those of you in authority can return with me. If Paul has done anything wrong, you can make your accusations.”
