Deeds (Act) of Apostles 25:19-24

¹⁹But they had against him some questions of their vain worshipping, or (their futile) religion, and of one Jesus (who was) dead, whom Paul affirmed to live.

²⁰And I doubted of such manner questions, and said, Whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be deemed of these things? (And I was uncertain about such matters, and asked, Would he go to Jerusalem, and be judged on these matters there?)

²¹But for Paul appealed, that he should be kept to the knowing of the emperor (or of Caesar), I commanded him to be kept, till I send him to the emperor or till I shall send him to Caesar. (But because Paul appealed, that he should be sent to the Emperor for judgement, or for a decision, or for sentencing, I commanded him to be kept under guard, until I could send him to the Emperor.)

²²And Agrippa said to Festus, I myself would (like to) hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him.

²³And on the tother day (or And on the next day), when Agrippa and Bernice came with great desire, or (with much) pride of state, and entered into the auditorium, with tribunes and the principal men of the city, when Festus bade, Paul was brought (in).

²⁴And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men that be with us, ye see this man, of which all the multitude of Jews prayed me at Jerusalem, and asked, and cried, that he should live no longer. (And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all those who be with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews at Jerusalem beseeched me, and asked, and cried, that he should no longer live.)
