17When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day on the judgment-seat and commanded the man to be brought:
18concerning whom the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt as I supposed;
19but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.
20And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?
21But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.
22And Agrippa said to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
