1. Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
|
1. Now G3767 when Festus G5347 was come into G1910 the G3588 province G1885 , after G3326 three G5140 days G2250 he ascended G305 from G575 Caesarea G2542 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 .
|
|
2. And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,
|
2. Then G1161 the G3588 high priest G749 and G2532 the G3588 chief G4413 of the G3588 Jews G2453 informed G1718 him G846 against G2596 Paul G3972 , and G2532 besought G3870 him G846 ,
|
|
3. asking favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying wait to kill him on the way.
|
3. And desired G154 favor G5485 against G2596 him G846 , that G3704 he would send for G3343 him G846 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 , laying wait G4160 G1747 in G2596 the G3588 way G3598 to kill G337 him G846 .
|
|
4. Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart {cf15i thither} shortly.
|
4. But G3767 G3303 Festus G5347 answered G611 , that Paul G3972 should be kept G5083 at G1722 Caesarea G2542 , and G1161 that he himself G1438 would G3195 depart G1607 shortly G1722 G5034 thither.
|
|
5. Let them therefore, saith he, which are of power among you, go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.
|
5. Let them G3588 therefore G3767 , said G5346 he , which among G1722 you G5213 are able G1415 , go down with G4782 me, and accuse G2723 this G5129 man G435 , if there be any G1536 G2076 wickedness G824 in G1722 him G846 .
|
|
6. And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment�seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
|
6. And G1161 when he had tarried G1304 among G1722 them G846 more G4119 than G2228 ten G1176 days G2250 , he went down G2597 unto G1519 Caesarea G2542 ; and the G3588 next day G1887 sitting G2523 on G1909 the G3588 judgment seat G968 commanded G2753 Paul G3972 to be brought G71 .
|
|
7. And when he was come, the Jews which had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges, which they could not prove;
|
7. And G1161 when he G846 was come G3854 , the G3588 Jews G2453 which came down G2597 from G575 Jerusalem G2414 stood round about G4026 , and laid G5342 many G4183 and G2532 grievous G926 complaints G157 against G2596 Paul G3972 , which G3739 they could G2480 not G3756 prove G584 .
|
|
8. while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.
|
8. While he G846 answered for himself G626 , Neither G3777 against G1519 the G3588 law G3551 of the G3588 Jews G2453 , neither G3777 against G1519 the G3588 temple G2411 , nor G3777 yet against G1519 Caesar G2541 , have I offended G264 any thing G5100 at all.
|
|
9. But Festus, desiring to gain favour with the Jews, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
|
9. But G1161 Festus G5347 , willing G2309 to do G2698 the G3588 Jews G2453 a pleasure G5485 , answered G611 Paul G3972 , and said G2036 , Wilt G2309 thou go up G305 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 , and there G1563 be judged G2919 of G4012 these things G5130 before G1909 me G1700 ?
|
|
10. But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar�s judgment�seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
|
10. Then G1161 said G2036 Paul G3972 , I stand G1510 G2476 at G1909 Caesar G2541 's judgment seat G968 , where G3757 I G3165 ought G1163 to be judged G2919 : to the Jews G2453 have I done no wrong G91 G3762 , as G5613 G2532 thou G4771 very well G2573 knowest G1921 .
|
|
11. If then I am a wrong�doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if none of those things is {cf15i true}, whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
|
11. For G1063 if G1437 I G3303 be an offender G91 , or G2532 have committed G4238 any thing G5100 worthy G514 of death G2288 , I refuse G3868 not G3756 to die G599 : but G1161 if G1487 there be G2076 none G3762 of these things whereof G3739 these G3778 accuse G2723 me G3450 , no man G3762 may G1410 deliver G5483 me G3165 unto them G846 . I appeal G1941 unto Caesar G2541 .
|
|
12. Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go.
|
12. G1161 Then G5119 Festus G5347 , when he had conferred G4814 with G3326 the G3588 council G4824 , answered G611 , Hast thou appealed G1941 unto Caesar G2541 ? unto G1909 Caesar G2541 shalt thou go G4198 .
|
|
13. Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus.
|
13. And G1161 after G1230 certain G5100 days G2250 king G935 Agrippa G67 and G2532 Bernice G959 came G2658 unto G1519 Caesarea G2542 to salute G782 Festus G5347 .
|
|
14. And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul�s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix:
|
14. And G1161 when G5613 they had been G1304 there G1563 many G4119 days G2250 , Festus G5347 declared G394 Paul G3972 's cause G2596 unto the G3588 king G935 , saying G3004 , There is G2076 a certain G5100 man G435 left in bonds G2641 G1198 by G5259 Felix G5344 :
|
|
15. about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed {cf15i me}, asking for sentence against him.
|
15. About G4012 whom G3739 , when I G3450 was G1096 at G1519 Jerusalem G2414 , the G3588 chief priests G749 and G2532 the G3588 elders G4245 of the G3588 Jews G2453 informed G1718 me, desiring G154 to have judgment G1349 against G2596 him G846 .
|
|
16. To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him.
|
16. To G4314 whom G3739 I answered G611 , It G3754 is G2076 not G3756 the manner G1485 of the Romans G4514 to deliver G5483 any G5100 man G444 to G1519 die G684 , before G4250 that G2228 he which is accused G2723 have G2192 the G3588 accusers G2725 face to face G2596 G4383 , and G5037 have license G2983 G5117 to answer for himself G627 concerning G4012 the G3588 crime laid against him G1462 .
|
|
17. When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat down on the judgment�seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
|
17. Therefore G3767 , when they G846 were come G4905 hither G1759 , without any G3367 delay G311 on the G3588 morrow G1836 I sat G2523 on G1909 the G3588 judgment seat G968 , and commanded G2753 the G3588 man G435 to be brought forth G71 .
|
|
18. Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;
|
18. Against G4012 whom G3739 when the G3588 accusers G2725 stood up G2476 , they brought G2018 none G3762 accusation G156 of such things G3739 as I G1473 supposed G5282 :
|
|
19. but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
|
19. But G1161 had G2192 certain G5100 questions G2213 against G4314 him G846 of G4012 their own G2398 superstition G1175 , and G2532 of G4012 one G5100 Jesus G2424 , which was dead G2348 , whom G3739 Paul G3972 affirmed G5335 to be alive G2198 .
|
|
20. And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
|
20. And G1161 because I G1473 doubted G639 of G1519 such manner of questions G2214 G4012 G5127 , I asked G3004 him whether G1487 he would G1014 go G4198 to G1519 Jerusalem G2419 , and there G2546 be judged G2919 of G4012 these matters G5130 .
|
|
21. But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.
|
21. But G1161 when Paul G3972 had appealed G1941 to be G846 reserved G5083 unto G1519 the G3588 hearing G1233 of Augustus G4575 , I commanded G2753 him G846 to be kept G5083 till G2193 G3757 I might send G3992 him G846 to G4314 Caesar G2541 .
|
|
22. And Agrippa {cf15i said} unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.
|
22. Then G1161 Agrippa G67 said G5346 unto G4314 Festus G5347 , I would G1014 also G2532 hear G191 the G3588 man G444 myself G848 G1161 . Tomorrow G839 , said G5346 he G3588 , thou shalt hear G191 him G846 .
|
|
23. So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.
|
23. And G3767 on the G3588 morrow G1887 , when Agrippa G67 was come G2064 , and G2532 Bernice G959 , with G3326 great G4183 pomp G5325 , and G2532 was entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 place of hearing G201 , with G4862 G5037 the G3588 chief captains G5506 , and G2532 principal G2596 G1851 men G435 of G5607 the G3588 city G4172 , at G2532 Festus G5347 ' commandment G2753 Paul G3972 was brought forth G71 .
|
|
24. And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
|
24. And G2532 Festus G5347 said G5346 , King G935 Agrippa G67 , and G2532 all G3956 men G435 which are here present G4840 with us G2254 , ye see G2334 this man G5126 , about G4012 whom G3739 all G3956 the G3588 multitude G4128 of the G3588 Jews G2453 have dealt G1793 with me G3427 , both G5037 at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 , and G2532 also here G1759 , crying G1916 that he G846 ought G1163 not G3361 to live G2198 any longer G3371 .
|
|
25. But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
|
25. But G1161 when I G1473 found G2638 that he G846 had committed G4238 nothing G3367 worthy G514 of death G2288 , and G1161 that he G5127 himself G848 hath G2532 appealed G1941 to Augustus G4575 , I have determined G2919 to send G3992 him G846 .
|
|
26. Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.
|
26. Of G4012 whom G3739 I have G2192 no G3756 certain thing G804 G5100 to write G1125 unto my lord G2962 . Wherefore G1352 I have brought him forth G4254 G846 before G1909 you G5216 , and G2532 especially G3122 before G1909 thee G4675 , O king G935 Agrippa G67 , that G3704 , after examination G351 had G1096 , I might have G2192 somewhat G5100 to write G1125 .
|
|
27. For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.
|
27. For G1063 it seemeth G1380 to me G3427 unreasonable G249 to send G3992 a prisoner G1198 , and G2532 not G3361 withal G2532 to signify G4591 the G3588 crimes G156 laid against G2596 him G846 .
