25:1 | Now <3767> when Festus <5347> was come <1910> (5631) into the province <1885>, after <3326> three <5140> days <2250> he ascended <305> (5627) from <575> Caesarea <2542> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414>. |
25:2 | Then <1161> the high priest <749> and <2532> the chief <4413> of the Jews <2453> informed <1718> (5656) him <846> against <2596> Paul <3972>, and <2532> besought <3870> (5707) him <846>, |
25:3 | And desired <154> (5734) favour <5485> against <2596> him <846>, that <3704> he would send for <3343> (5667) him <846> to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, laying <4160> (5723) wait <1747> in <2596> the way <3598> to kill <337> (5629) him <846>. |
25:4 | But <3303> <3767> Festus <5347> answered <611> (5662), that Paul <3972> should be kept <5083> (5745) at <1722> Caesarea <2542>, and <1161> that he himself <1438> would <3195> (5721) depart <1607> (5738) <1722> shortly <5034> [thither]. |
25:5 | Let them therefore <3767>, said <5346> (5748) he, which among <1722> you <5213> are able <1415>, go down with <4782> (5631) [me], and accuse <2723> (5720) this <846> man <435>, if <1536> (0) there be <2076> (5748) any wickedness <1536> in <1722> him <5129>. |
25:6 | And <1161> when he had tarried <1304> (5660) among <1722> them <846> more <4119> than <2228> ten <1176> days <2250>, he went down <2597> (5631) unto <1519> Caesarea <2542>; and the next day <1887> sitting <2523> (5660) on <1909> the judgment seat <968> commanded <2753> (5656) Paul <3972> to be brought <71> (5683). {more...: or, as some copies read, no more than eight or ten days} |
25:7 | And <1161> when he <846> was come <3854> (5637), the Jews <2453> which came down <2597> (5761) from <575> Jerusalem <2414> stood round about <4026> (5627), and <2532> laid <5342> (5723) many <4183> and grievous <926> complaints <157> against <2596> Paul <3972>, which <3739> they could <2480> (5707) not <3756> prove <584> (5658). |
25:8 | While he answered <626> (5740) for himself <846>, Neither <3754> <3777> against <1519> the law <3551> of the Jews <2453>, neither <3777> against <1519> the temple <2411>, nor yet <3777> against <1519> Caesar <2541>, have I offended <264> (5627) any thing at all <5100>. |
25:9 | But <1161> Festus <5347>, willing <2309> (5723) to do <2698> (5641) the Jews <2453> a pleasure <5485>, answered <611> (5679) Paul <3972>, and said <2036> (5627), Wilt thou <2309> (5719) go up <305> (5631) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414>, and there <1563> be judged <2919> (5745) of <4012> these things <5130> before <1909> me <1700>? |
25:10 | Then <1161> said <2036> (5627) Paul <3972>, I stand <1510> (5748) <2476> (5761) at <1909> Caesar's <2541> judgment seat <968>, where <3757> I <3165> ought <1163> (5748) to be judged <2919> (5745): to the Jews <2453> have I done <91> (0) no <3762> wrong <91> (5656), as <5613> <2532> thou <4771> very well <2566> knowest <1921> (5719). |
25:11 | For <1063> if <1487> <3303> I be an offender <91> (5719), or <2532> have committed <4238> (5758) any thing <5100> worthy <514> of death <2288>, I refuse <3868> (5736) not <3756> to die <599> (5629): but <1161> if <1487> there be <2076> (5748) none <3762> of these things <3739> whereof these <3778> accuse <2723> (5719) me <3450>, no man <3762> may <1410> (5736) deliver <5483> (5664) me <3165> unto them <846>. I appeal unto <1941> (5731) Caesar <2541>. |
25:12 | Then <5119> Festus <5347>, when he had conferred <4814> (5660) with <3326> the council <4824>, answered <611> (5662), Hast thou appealed unto <1941> (5764) Caesar <2541>? unto <1909> Caesar <2541> shalt thou go <4198> (5695). |
25:13 | And <1161> after <1230> (5637) certain <5100> days <2250> king <935> Agrippa <67> and <2532> Bernice <959> came <2658> (5656) unto <1519> Caesarea <2542> to salute <782> (5697) Festus <5347>. |
25:14 | And <1161> when <5613> they had been <1304> (5707) there <1563> many <4119> days <2250>, Festus <5347> declared <394> (5639) Paul's <3972> cause <2596> unto the king <935>, saying <3004> (5723), There is <2076> (5748) a certain <5100> man <435> left <2641> (5772) in bonds <1198> by <5259> Felix <5344>: |
25:15 | About <4012> whom <3739>, when <1096> (0) I <3450> was <1096> (5637) at <1519> Jerusalem <2414>, the chief priests <749> and <2532> the elders <4245> of the Jews <2453> informed <1718> (5656) [me], desiring <154> (5734) [to have] judgment <1349> against <2596> him <846>. |
25:16 | To <4314> whom <3739> I answered <611> (5662), <3754> It is <2076> (5748) not <3756> the manner <1485> of the Romans <4514> to deliver <5483> (5738) any <5100> man <444> to <1519> die <684>, before <4250> that <2228> he which is accused <2723> (5746) have <2192> (5722) the accusers <2725> face to face <2596> <4383>, <5037> and have <2983> (5630) licence <5117> to answer for himself <627> concerning <4012> the crime laid against him <1462>. |
25:17 | Therefore <3767>, when they <846> were come <4905> (5631) hither <1759>, without <4160> (5671) any <3367> delay <311> on the morrow <1836> I sat <2523> (5660) on <1909> the judgment seat <968>, and commanded <2753> (5656) the man <435> to be brought forth <71> (5683). |
25:18 | Against <4012> whom <3739> when the accusers <2725> stood up <2476> (5685), they brought <2018> (5707) none <3762> accusation <156> of such things as <3739> I <1473> supposed <5282> (5707): |
25:19 | But <1161> had <2192> (5707) certain <5100> questions <2213> against <4314> him <846> of <4012> their own <2398> superstition <1175>, and <2532> of <4012> one <5100> Jesus <2424>, which was dead <2348> (5761), whom <3739> Paul <3972> affirmed <5335> (5707) to be alive <2198> (5721). |
25:20 | And <1161> because I <1473> doubted <639> (5734) of <1519> such <5127> manner <4012> of questions <2214>, I asked <3004> (5707) [him] whether <1487> he would <1014> (5739) go <4198> (5738) to <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, and there <2546> be judged <2919> (5745) of <4012> these matters <5130>. {I doubted...: or, I was doubtful how to enquire hereof} |
25:21 | But <1161> when Paul <3972> had appealed <1941> (5671) to be reserved <5083> (5683) <846> unto <1519> the hearing <1233> of Augustus <4575>, I commanded <2753> (5656) him <846> to be kept <5083> (5745) till <2193> <3757> I might send <3992> (5661) him <846> to <4314> Caesar <2541>. {hearing: or, judgment} |
25:22 | Then <1161> Agrippa <67> said <5346> (5713) unto <4314> Festus <5347>, I would <1014> (5711) also <2532> hear <191> (5658) the man <444> myself <846>. To morrow <839>, <1161> said <5346> (5748) he, thou shalt hear <191> (5695) him <846>. |
25:23 | And on the morrow <1887>, when <3767> Agrippa <67> was come <2064> (5631), and <2532> Bernice <959>, with <3326> great <4183> pomp <5325>, and <2532> was entered <1525> (5631) into <1519> the place of hearing <201>, with <4862> <5037> the chief captains <5506>, and <2532> principal <2596> <1851> men <435> of <5607> (5752) the city <4172>, at <2532> Festus <5347>' commandment <2753> (5660) Paul <3972> was brought forth <71> (5681). |
25:24 | And <2532> Festus <5347> said <5346> (5748), King <935> Agrippa <67>, and <2532> all <3956> men <435> which <3588> are here present <4840> (5752) with us <2254>, ye see <2334> (5719) (5720) this man <5126>, about <4012> whom <3739> all <3956> the multitude <4128> of the Jews <2453> have dealt <1793> (5627) with me <3427>, both <5037> at <1722> Jerusalem <2414>, and <2532> [also] here <1759>, crying <1916> (5723) that he ought <1163> (5750) not <3361> to live <2198> (5721) any longer <3371>. |
25:25 | But <1161> when I <1473> found <2638> (5642) that he <846> had committed <4238> (5760) nothing <3367> worthy <514> of death <2288>, and <2532> <1161> that he himself <846> hath appealed <5127> to <1941> (5671) Augustus <4575>, I have determined <2919> (5656) to send <3992> (5721) him <846>. |
25:26 | Of <4012> whom <3739> I have <2192> (5719) no <3756> certain <804> thing <5100> to write <1125> (5658) unto my lord <2962>. Wherefore <1352> I have brought <4254> (0) him <846> forth <4254> (5627) before <1909> you <5216>, and <2532> specially <3122> before <1909> thee <4675>, O king <935> Agrippa <67>, that <3704>, after examination <351> had <1096> (5637), I might have <2192> (5632) somewhat <5100> to write <1125> (5658). |
25:27 | For <1063> it seemeth <1380> (5719) to me <3427> unreasonable <249> to send <3992> (5723) a prisoner <1198>, and <2532> not withal <3361> to signify <4591> (5658) the crimes <156> [laid] against <2596> him <846>. |
