Festus Assumes Office and Meets Jewish Leaders
Acts 25:1-5
1
Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cæsarea.
2
And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,
3
asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.
4
Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart thither shortly.
5
Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.
