1So Festus, after arriving in the province, went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem after three days,

2So the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews presented their case against Paul to him, and they urged him,

3asking a favor against him, that he would have him brought to Jerusalem, while setting an ambush to kill him on the way.

4Festus therefore answered that Paul was being kept in Caesarea, and that he himself was about to leave shortly.

5Therefore, let those among you who are able go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.
