Acts 25:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Asking as a favor that he would have him brought to Jerusalem; [meanwhile] they were planning an ambush to slay him on the way.

⁴ Festus answered that Paul was in custody in Caesarea and that he himself planned to leave for there soon.

⁵ So, said he, let those who are in a position of authority and are influential among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss or criminal about the man, let them so charge him.
