thou
go up to Jerusalem, and there
be judged of
these things before
me
?

have
I done no wrong, as thou

an
offender

have committed any
thing
worthy of death, I refuse not
to die :
but if there
be
none of these
things whereof
these
accuse me, no man
may
deliver
me unto
them. I appeal unto
Caesar .
For if I have
done
wrong
, and
have committed anything
worthy of death, I don't

things is
true
that
they
accuse me of
, no one
can
give
me up
to
them. I appeal to
Caesar !"

And
after
certain
days king
Agrippa and Bernice came
unto
Caesarea to
salute
Festus.
Now
when
some
days had
passed,
Agrippa the
King
and Bernice arrived
at
Caesarea ,
and
greeted
Festus.
And
when
they
had
been
there many days, Festus declared
Paul's cause
unto
the king, saying, There is a certain man left in
bonds
by Felix :

to
have
judgment
against him.
about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking
for
a
sentence
against him.
To whom I answered ,
It is not the manner
of the Romans to deliver
any man to die
, before that
he
which
is
accused have
the accusers face to face, and have
licence
to answer
for
himself
concerning the crime
laid against him.
To whom I answered that
it is not the custom
of the Romans to give
up
any man to destruction
, before the
accused has
met
the accusers face to face, and has
had
opportunity
to make
his
defense
concerning the matter
laid against him.
Therefore,
when they were
come hither
, without
any
delay on the morrow
I
sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth
.
When therefore
they had
come together
here
, I
didn't
delay ,
but
on the next
day
sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
Against
whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none
accusation
of such things as I supposed :
Concerning
whom ,
when the accusers stood up, they brought no
charge
of such things as I supposed ;
But had certain questions against him of
their own superstition
, and of
one Jesus, which
was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
but had certain questions against him about
their own religion
, and about
one Jesus, who
was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
And
because
I
doubted
of
such
manner
of
questions
, I asked him
whether he would
go to Jerusalem ,
and there be judged of
these matters.
Being
perplexed
how
to
inquire
concerning
these
things
, I asked whether he was
willing
to
go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning
these matters.
But when Paul had appealed to be reserved
unto
the hearing
of Augustus
, I commanded him to be kept till
I might
send him to Caesar.
But when Paul had appealed to be kept
for
the decision
of the
emperor
, I commanded him to be kept until
I could
send him to Caesar. "
Then
Agrippa said unto
Festus, I would
also hear the man myself. To
morrow
, said
he, thou
shalt
hear him.
Agrippa said to
Festus, "
I also would
like
to
hear the man myself. "
"Tomorrow
, "
he said
, "you
shall
hear him. "
And
on the morrow
, when Agrippa was
come,
and Bernice ,
with great pomp, and was
entered into the place of hearing ,
with the chief
captains,
and principal men of the city, at Festus '
commandment
Paul was brought forth
.
So
on the next
day
, when Agrippa and Bernice had
come
with great pomp, and they
had
entered into the place of hearing with the commanding
officers
and principal men of the city, at the
command
of
Festus ,
Paul was brought in
.
And
Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which
are here present with us, ye
see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have
dealt
with
me, both at Jerusalem ,
and also
here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Festus said, "
King Agrippa, and all men who
are here present with us, you
see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned
me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that
he himself hath
appealed to Augustus,
I have
determined to send him.
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as
he himself appealed to the
emperor
I determined to send him.
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto
my lord. Wherefore
I have brought him forth before you, and specially
before thee
, O
king Agrippa, that, after examination had
, I might
have somewhat
to write.
Of whom I have no certain thing to write to
my lord. Therefore
I have brought him forth before you, and especially
before you
, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may
have something
to write.
For it seemeth
to me unreasonable to
send
a prisoner, and
not withal
to signify
the crimes
laid
against him.
For it seems
to me unreasonable ,
in
sending
a prisoner, not to also
specify
the charges
against him. "
