2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him, |
3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him. |
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither. |
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him. |
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought. |
7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove. |
