< Acts 25 >

1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,

3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.

4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

5 "Let them therefore," he said, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."

6 When he had stayed among them more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,

8 while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."

9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"
ⲑ̅ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ⲉϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈.
10 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

11 For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up 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, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."

13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.

14 As they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

16 To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up anyone before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense against the charge.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲧⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲁ.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I did not delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;

19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲡⲟⲣⲣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲫⲁⲡ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ⲉϫⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲫⲁⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϣⲁⲛϯϫⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."

23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

24 And Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all people who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
