Acts of the Apostles 25:25

In context

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. 24Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all of you here with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community petitioned me about him, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. 25But I found that he had done nothing deserving death; and since he himself has appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him. 26I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. That is why I have brought him before you all, and above all before you, King Agrippa, so that after this examination I may have something to write. 27For it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner on without indicating the charges against him.”
