Acts 25
1 Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
ⲁ̅ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϣⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ.
2 where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus
ⲃ̅ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲥⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ.
3 to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅. ⲉⲩⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ ϩⲓⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ.
4 But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
ⲇ̅ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ.
5 So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
6 After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲁϣⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲏ̅ ⲙⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ.
7 When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲛ̅ϩ̅ⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲣϣ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ
8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲉϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ.
9 But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
ⲑ̅ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ⲉϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈.
10 Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ϩⲓⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϯⲛⲁϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ. ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ
11 If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲓⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲛⲁⲩ ϯⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ.
12 Then Festus conferred with his council and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲉϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ. ⲉⲕⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ.
13 After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲃⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲕⲏ. ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ.
14 Since they were staying several days, Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom Felix left in prison.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲉⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲉⲫⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲫⲏⲗⲓⲝ ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ.
15 While I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews presented their case and requested a judgment against him.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈-ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲁⲩⲥⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲩⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧϥ̅.
16 I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand a man over before he has had an opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself against their charges.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲧⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲁ.
17 So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲛⲉϫⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲓ̈ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
18 But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁϩⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
19 They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲉⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲩϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲛϩ̅.
20 Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲡⲟⲣⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲫⲁⲡ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ⲉϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈.
21 But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲫⲁⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϣⲁⲛϯϫⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ.
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” “Tomorrow you will hear him,” Festus declared.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣ ϩⲱ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲃⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲫⲁⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϯϩⲁⲡ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ.
24 Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲥⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ. ⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲱⲛϩ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ.
25 But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

26 I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign one about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.
