25:1 ¶
Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. |
|
25:1 ¶
Now°
when Festus°
was come°°
into°
the°
province,°
after°
three°
days°
he ascended°°
from°
Caesarea°
to°
Jerusalem.° |
25:2
And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him, |
|
25:2
Then°
the°
high priest°
and°
the°
chief°
of the°
Jews°
informed°°
him°
against°
Paul,°
and°
besought°°
him,° |
25:3
asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way. |
|
25:3
And desired°°
favour°
against°
him,°
that°
he would send for°°
him°
to°
Jerusalem,°
laying°°
wait°°
in°
the°
way°
to kill°°
him.° |
25:4
Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly. |
|
25:4
But°°
Festus°°
answered,°°
that Paul°
should be kept°°
at°
Caesarea,°
and°
that he himself°
would°°
depart°°°
shortly°°
[thither]. |
25:5
Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him. |
|
25:5
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.°° |
25:6
And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought. |
|
25:6
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.°° |
25:7
And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove; |
|
25:7
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.°° |
25:8
while Paul said in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all. |
|
25:8
While he°
answered°°
for himself,°°
Neither°°
against°
the°
law°
of the°
Jews,°
neither°
against°
the°
temple,°
nor°
yet°
against°
Caesar,°
have I offended°°
any thing°
at all.° |
25:9
But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? |
|
25:9
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?° |
25:10
But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest. |
|
25:10
Then°
said°°
Paul,°
I stand°°°°
at°
Caesar's°
judgment seat,°
where°
I°
ought°°
to be judged:°°
to the Jews°
have I done°°
no°
wrong,°°°
as°°
thou°
very well°°
knowest.°° |
25:11
If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. |
|
25:11
For°
if°°°
I°
be an offender,°°
or°
have committed°°
any thing°
worthy°
of death,°
I refuse°°
not°
to die:°°
but°
if°
there be°°
none°
of these things°
whereof°
these°
accuse°°
me,°
no man°
may°°
deliver°°
me°
unto them.°
I appeal°
unto°°
Caesar.° |
25:12
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go. |
|
25:12
°
Then°
Festus,°
when he had conferred°°
with°
the°
council,°
answered,°°
Hast thou appealed°
unto°°
Caesar?°
unto°
Caesar°
shalt thou go.°° |
25:13
Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus. |
|
25:13
And°
after°°
certain°
days°
king°
Agrippa°
and°
Bernice°
came°°
unto°
Caesarea°
to salute°°
Festus.° |
25:14
And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; |
|
25:14
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:° |
25:15
about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him. |
|
25:15
About°
whom,°
when°°
I°
was°°
at°
Jerusalem,°
the°
chief priests°
and°
the°
elders°
of the°
Jews°
informed°°
[me], desiring°°
[to have] judgment°
against°
him.° |
25:16
To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him. |
|
25:16
To°
whom°
I answered,°°°
It°
is°°
not°
the manner°
of the Romans°
to deliver°°
any°
man°
to°
die,°
before°
that°
he which is accused°°
have°°
the°
accusers°
face to face,°°°
and°
have°°
licence°°
to answer for himself°
concerning°
the°
crime laid against him.° |
25:17
When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought. |
|
25:17
Therefore,°
when they°
were come°°
hither,°
without°°
any°
delay°
on the°
morrow°
I sat°°
on°
the°
judgment seat,°
and commanded°°
the°
man°
to be brought forth.°° |
25:18
Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed; |
|
25:18
Against°
whom°
when the°
accusers°
stood up,°°
they brought°°
none°
accusation°
of such things°
as°
I°
supposed:°° |
25:19
but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. |
|
25:19
But°
had°°
certain°
questions°
against°
him°
of°
their own°
superstition,°
and°
of°
one°
Jesus,°
which was dead,°°
whom°
Paul°
affirmed°°
to be alive.°° |
25:20
And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters. |
|
25:20
And°
because I°
doubted°°
of°
such°
manner°
of questions,°°°
I asked°°
[him] whether°
he would°°
go°°
to°
Jerusalem,°
and there°
be judged°°
of°
these matters.° |
25:21
But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar. |
|
25:21
But°
when Paul°
had appealed°°
to be°
reserved°°°
unto°
the°
hearing°
of Augustus,°
I commanded°°
him°
to be kept°°
till°°
I might°
send°°
him°
to°
Caesar.° |
25:22
And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him. |
|
25:22
Then°
Agrippa°
said°°
unto°
Festus,°
I would°°
also°
hear°°
the°
man°
myself.°°°
To morrow,°°
said°°
he,°
thou shalt hear°°
him.° |
25:23
So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in. |
|
25:23
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.°° |
25:24
And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. |
|
25:24
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.° |
25:25
But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him. |
|
25:25
But°
when I°
found°°
that he°
had committed°°
nothing°
worthy°
of death,°
and°°
that he°
himself°°
hath°
appealed°°
to°°
Augustus,°
I have determined°°
to send°°
him.° |
25:26
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write. |
|
25:26
Of°
whom°
I have°°
no°
certain°
thing°°
to write°°
unto my lord.°
Wherefore°
I have brought°°
him°
forth°°°
before°
you,°
and°
specially°
before°
thee,°
O king°
Agrippa,°
that,°
after examination°
had,°°
I might have°°
somewhat°
to write.°° |
25:27
For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him. |
|
25:27
For°
it seemeth°°
to me°
unreasonable°
to send°°
a prisoner,°
and°
not°
withal°°
to signify°°
the°
crimes°
[laid] against°
him.° |
