Acts of the Apostles 25:21

In context

19What they had against him were certain disputes about their own religion, and about a dead man called Jesus who Paul insisted was alive. 20Being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges. 21But Paul appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the Emperor, so I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.” 22Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he replied, “you will hear him.” 23So the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great ceremony and entered the audience hall, together with the tribunes and the leading men of the city; and at the order of Festus, Paul was brought in.
