I appeal to Caesar
Three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem. Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews told him against Paul and begged him, They asked a favour against Paul — that Festus would send for him to Jerusalem — while planning an ambush to kill him on the way. But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would go there shortly. So he said: Let those among you who are able go down with me and charge this man, if there's any wickedness in him. When he'd stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day sitting on the judgment seat, he ordered Paul to be brought. When Paul came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him and brought many serious charges which they could not prove. While he answered for himself: I haven't offended anything at all against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar. But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favour, answered Paul: Will you go up to Jerusalem and be judged there about these things before me? Paul said, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. I have done the Jews no wrong, as you know very well. If I am an offender or have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if these charges are empty, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar." After conferring with the council, Festus answered, "You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you'll go."
Now when Festus had come into the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem. Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews told him against Paul and begged him, and wanted a favour against him, that he'd send for him to Jerusalem, lying in wait on the way to kill him. But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would go there shortly. So he said: Let the ones among you who are able go down with me and charge this man, if there's any wickedness in him. And when he'd stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day sitting on the judgment seat, he ordered Paul to be brought. And when he'd come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood round about and laid plenty of grievous charges against Paul, that they couldn't prove. While he answered for himself: I haven't offended anything at all against the teaching of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar. But Festus, wanting to show the Jews a favour, answered Paul: Will you go up to Jerusalem and be judged there about these things in front of me? Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. I've done the Jews no wrong, the way you know very well. Because if I've done wrong or have done anything worthy of death, I don't refuse to die. But if there's nothing in these things they charge me with, no man can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar. Then Festus, when he'd talked with the council, answered: You've appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you'll go.
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem. Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him, And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him. But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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? 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. 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. Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

Before Agrippa
After some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus. When they'd been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case to the king: There's a certain man left in bonds by Felix. When I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews informed me about him and asked for judgment against him. I answered them: It isn't the way of the Romans to hand over any man to die, before the one who's charged has those who accuse him face to face and has leave to answer for himself about the crime laid against him. So when they'd come here, without any delay the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought. When his accusers stood up, they brought none of the charges I expected against him. Instead, they had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead but whom Paul affirmed to be alive. For I doubted about a question like that, I asked him whether he'd go to Jerusalem and be judged there about these matters. When Paul had appealed to be kept for the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar. Then Agrippa said to Festus: I'd like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, he said, you'll hear him. The next day Agrippa and Bernice arrived with great pomp and entered the hearing chamber with the chief captains and principal men of the city. At Festus's command, Paul was brought in. And Festus said: King Agrippa and all men here with us, you see this man who all the crowd of the Jews have dealt with me about, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer. When I found he'd done nothing worthy of death, and that he himself has appealed to Augustus, I've decided to send him. I have nothing certain to write about him to my lord. That's why I've brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after examining him I may have something to write. For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to show the charges laid against him too.
And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus. And when they'd been there plenty of days, Festus set out Paul's case to the king: There's a certain man left in bonds by Felix. Who when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews told me about, wanting judgment against him. I answered them: It isn't the way of the Romans to hand over any man to die, before the one who's charged has the ones who charge him face to face and has leave to answer for himself about the crime laid against him. So when they'd come here, without any delay the next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered the man to be brought. Who when the ones charging him stood up, they brought no charge of the things I thought. But had certain questions against him of their own religion and of one Jesus, who was dead, who Paul said was alive. And because I doubted about a question like that, I asked him whether he'd go to Jerusalem and be judged there about these matters. But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the hearing of Augustus, I ordered him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar. Then Agrippa said to Festus: I'd like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, he said, you'll hear him. And the next day, when Agrippa had come and Bernice, with great pomp, and had gone into the place of hearing with the chief captains and chief men of the town, at Festus' order Paul was brought out. And Festus said: King Agrippa and all men here with us, you see this man who all the crowd of the Jews have dealt with me about, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer. But when I found he'd done nothing worthy of death, and that he himself has appealed to Augustus, I've settled to send him. Who I've got no certain thing to write about to my lord. So I've brought him out in front of you, and especially in front of you, King Agrippa, so after examination is made I could have something to write. Because it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to show the charges laid against him too.
And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus. 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: About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 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. 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. Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed: But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 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. 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. Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. 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. 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. 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. 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. For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
