festus But after two years Porcius {Festus} came into

Felix' room: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left

Paul bound.



festus Now when {Festus} was come into the province,

after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.



festus But {Festus} answered, that Paul should be
kept at

Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither].



festus But {Festus}, willing to do the Jews a
pleasure,

answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there
be

judged of these things before me?



festus Then {Festus}, when he had conferred with the

council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar
shalt

thou go.



festus And after certain days king Agrippa and
Bernice

came unto Caesarea to salute {Festus}.



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:



festus Then Agrippa said unto {Festus}, I would also

hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.



festus 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.



festus 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 And as he thus spake for himself, {Festus}
said

with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning
doth

make thee mad.



festus But he said, I am not mad, most noble
{Festus};

but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.



festus Then said Agrippa unto {Festus}, This man
might

have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
