13And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
15Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
16To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime.
17Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth.
18Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
19But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
20And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
21But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
