Deeds (Act) of Apostles 25:1-6

¹Therefore when Festus came into the province, after the third day he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

²And the princes of (the) priests, and the worthiest or the first of the Jews went to him against Paul, and prayed him, (And the high priests, and the leaders of the Jews went before him against Paul, and beseeched him,)

³and asked grace against him, that he should command him to be led to Jerusalem; and they set ambush to slay him in the way (or and they prepared to kill him on the way).

⁴But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept in Caesarea; soothly that he himself should proceed more advisedly or more hastily.

⁵Therefore he said, They that in you (who) be mighty, come down together; and if any crime is in the man (or and if the man hath done any crime), accuse they him.

⁶And he dwelled among them no more than eight either ten days, and came down to Caesarea; and the tother day he sat for doomsman (or and the next day he sat as judge), and commanded Paul to be brought (to him).
