Acts 25

2 The Jews accuse Paul before Festus. 8 He answereth for himself, 11 and appealeth unto Cesar. 14 Afterwards Festus openeth his matter to King Agrippa, 23 and he is brought forth. 25 Festus cleareth him to have done nothing worthy of death.

 25:1 ¶ Now 3767 when Festus 5347 was come y1910 z5631 into x1910 the x3588 province, 1885 after 3326 three 5140 days 2250 he ascended 305 z5627 from 575 Caesarea 2542 to 1519 Jerusalem. 2414

 25:2 Then 1161 the x3588 high priest 749 and 2532 the x3588 chief 4413 of the x3588 Jews 2453 informed 1718 z5656 him 846 against 2596 Paul, 3972 and 2532 besought 3870 z5707 him, 846

 25:3 And desired 154 z5734 favour 5485 against 2596 him, 846 that 3704 he would send for 3343 z5667 him 846 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2419 laying y4160 z5723 wait 1747 x4160 in 2596 the x3588 way 3598 to kill 337 z5629 him. 846

 25:4 But 3303 3767 Festus y5347 x5437 answered, 611 z5662 that Paul 3972 should be kept 5083 z5745 at 1722 Caesarea, 2542 and 1161 that he himself 1438 would 3195 z5721 depart 1607 z5738 y1722 shortly 5034 x1722 [thither].

 25:5 Let them x3588 therefore, 3767 said 5346 z5748 he, which among 1722 you 5213 are able, 1415 go down with 4782 z5631 [me], and accuse 2723 z5720 this y846 x5129 man, 435 if y1536 z0 there be y2076 z5748 any x1536 x2076 wickedness y1536 x824 in 1722 him. y5129 x846

 25:6 And 1161 when he had tarried 1304 z5660 among 1722 them 846 more 4119 than 2228 ten 1176 days, 2250 he went down 2597 z5631 unto 1519 Caesarea; 2542 and the x3588 next day 1887 sitting 2523 z5660 on 1909 the x3588 judgment seat 968 commanded 2753 z5656 Paul 3972 to be brought. 71 z5683

 25:7 And 1161 when he 846 was come, 3854 z5637 the x3588 Jews 2453 which came down 2597 z5761 from 575 Jerusalem 2414 stood round about, 4026 z5627 and y2532 laid 5342 z5723 many 4183 and x2532 grievous 926 complaints 157 against 2596 Paul, 3972 which 3739 they could 2480 z5707 not 3756 prove. 584 z5658

 25:8 While he x846 answered y626 z5740 for himself, y846 x626 Neither 3777 y3754 against 1519 the x3588 law 3551 of the x3588 Jews, 2453 neither 3777 against 1519 the x3588 temple, 2411 nor x3777 yet y3777 against 1519 Caesar, 2541 have I offended 264 z5627 any thing x5100 at all. y5100

 25:9 But 1161 Festus, 5347 willing 2309 z5723 to do 2698 z5641 the x3588 Jews 2453 a pleasure, 5485 answered 611 z5679 Paul, 3972 and said, 2036 z5627 Wilt x2309 thou y2309 z5719 go up 305 z5631 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2414 and there 1563 be judged 2919 z5745 of 4012 these things 5130 before 1909 me? 1700

 25:10 Then 1161 said 2036 z5627 Paul, 3972 I stand 1510 2476 z5748 z5761 at 1909 Caesar's 2541 judgment seat, 968 where 3757 I 3165 ought 1163 z5748 to be judged: 2919 z5745 to the Jews 2453 have I done y91 z0 no y3762 wrong, 91 z5656 x3762 as 5613 2532 thou 4771 very well y2566 x2573 knowest. 1921 z5719

 25:11 For 1063 if y1487 y3303 x1437 I x3303 be an offender, 91 z5719 or 2532 have committed 4238 z5758 any thing 5100 worthy 514 of death, 2288 I refuse 3868 z5736 not 3756 to die: 599 z5629 but 1161 if 1487 there be 2076 z5748 none 3762 of these things y3739 whereof x3739 these 3778 accuse 2723 z5719 me, 3450 no man 3762 may 1410 z5736 deliver 5483 z5664 me 3165 unto them. 846 I appeal x1941 unto y1941 z5731 Caesar. 2541

 25:12 x1161 Then 5119 Festus, 5347 when he had conferred 4814 z5660 with 3326 the x3588 council, 4824 answered, 611 z5662 Hast thou appealed x1941 unto y1941 z5764 Caesar? 2541 unto 1909 Caesar 2541 shalt thou go. 4198 z5695

 25:13 And 1161 after 1230 z5637 certain 5100 days 2250 king 935 Agrippa 67 and 2532 Bernice 959 came 2658 z5656 unto 1519 Caesarea 2542 to salute 782 z5697 Festus. 5347

 25:14 And 1161 when 5613 they had been 1304 z5707 there 1563 many 4119 days, 2250 Festus 5347 declared 394 z5639 Paul's 3972 cause 2596 unto the x3588 king, 935 saying, 3004 z5723 There is 2076 z5748 a certain 5100 man 435 left y2641 z5772 in bonds 1198 x2641 by 5259 Felix: 5344

 25:15 About 4012 whom, 3739 when y1096 z0 I 3450 was 1096 z5637 at 1519 Jerusalem, 2414 the x3588 chief priests 749 and 2532 the x3588 elders 4245 of the x3588 Jews 2453 informed 1718 z5656 [me], desiring 154 z5734 [to have] judgment 1349 against 2596 him. 846

 25:16 To 4314 whom 3739 I answered, 611 z5662 y3754 It x3754 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 the manner 1485 of the Romans 4514 to deliver 5483 z5738 any 5100 man 444 to 1519 die, 684 before 4250 that 2228 he which is accused 2723 z5746 have 2192 z5722 the x3588 accusers 2725 face to face, 2596 4383 y5037 and x5037 have y2983 z5630 licence 5117 x2983 to answer for himself 627 concerning 4012 the x3588 crime laid against him. 1462

 25:17 Therefore, 3767 when they 846 were come 4905 z5631 hither, 1759 without y4160 z5671 any 3367 delay 311 on the x3588 morrow 1836 I sat 2523 z5660 on 1909 the x3588 judgment seat, 968 and commanded 2753 z5656 the x3588 man 435 to be brought forth. 71 z5683

 25:18 Against 4012 whom 3739 when the x3588 accusers 2725 stood up, 2476 z5685 they brought 2018 z5707 none 3762 accusation 156 of such things x3739 as y3739 I 1473 supposed: 5282 z5707

 25:19 But 1161 had 2192 z5707 certain 5100 questions 2213 against 4314 him 846 of 4012 their own 2398 superstition, 1175 and 2532 of 4012 one 5100 Jesus, 2424 which was dead, 2348 z5761 whom 3739 Paul 3972 affirmed 5335 z5707 to be alive. 2198 z5721

 25:20 And 1161 because I 1473 doubted 639 z5734 of 1519 such y5127 manner y4012 of questions, 2214 x4012 x5127 I asked 3004 z5707 [him] whether 1487 he would 1014 z5739 go 4198 z5738 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2419 and there 2546 be judged 2919 z5745 of 4012 these matters. 5130

 25:21 But 1161 when Paul 3972 had appealed 1941 z5671 to be x846 reserved 5083 z5683 y846 unto 1519 the x3588 hearing 1233 of Augustus, 4575 I commanded 2753 z5656 him 846 to be kept 5083 z5745 till 2193 y3757 I might x3739 send 3992 z5661 him 846 to 4314 Caesar. 2541

 25:22 Then 1161 Agrippa 67 said 5346 z5713 unto 4314 Festus, 5347 I would 1014 z5711 also 2532 hear 191 z5658 the x3588 man 444 myself. y846 x848 x1161 To morrow, 839 y1161 said 5346 z5748 he, x3588 thou shalt hear 191 z5695 him. 846

 25:23 And x3767 on the x3588 morrow, 1887 when y3767 Agrippa 67 was come, 2064 z5631 and 2532 Bernice, 959 with 3326 great 4183 pomp, 5325 and 2532 was entered 1525 z5631 into 1519 the x3588 place of hearing, 201 with 4862 5037 the x3588 chief captains, 5506 and 2532 principal 2596 1851 men 435 of 5607 z5752 the x3588 city, 4172 at 2532 Festus' 5347 commandment 2753 z5660 Paul 3972 was brought forth. 71 z5681

 25:24 And 2532 Festus 5347 said, 5346 z5748 King 935 Agrippa, 67 and 2532 all 3956 men 435 which y3588 are here present 4840 z5752 with us, 2254 ye see 2334 z5719 z5720 this man, 5126 about 4012 whom 3739 all 3956 the x3588 multitude 4128 of the x3588 Jews 2453 have dealt 1793 z5627 with me, 3427 both 5037 at 1722 Jerusalem, 2414 and 2532 [also] here, 1759 crying 1916 z5723 that he x846 ought 1163 z5750 not 3361 to live 2198 z5721 any longer. 3371

 25:25 But 1161 when I 1473 found 2638 z5642 that he 846 had committed 4238 z5760 nothing 3367 worthy 514 of death, 2288 and 1161 y2532 that he x5127 himself y846 x848 hath x2532 appealed y5127 x1941 to y1941 z5671 Augustus, 4575 I have determined 2919 z5656 to send 3992 z5721 him. 846

 25:26 Of 4012 whom 3739 I have 2192 z5719 no 3756 certain y804 thing 5100 x804 to write 1125 z5658 unto my lord. 2962 Wherefore 1352 I have brought y4254 z0 him y846 forth 4254 z5627 x846 before 1909 you, 5216 and 2532 specially 3122 before 1909 thee, 4675 O king 935 Agrippa, 67 that, 3704 after examination 351 had, 1096 z5637 I might have 2192 z5632 somewhat 5100 to write. 1125 z5658

 25:27 For 1063 it seemeth 1380 z5719 to me 3427 unreasonable 249 to send 3992 z5723 a prisoner, 1198 and 2532 not x3361 withal y3361 x2532 to signify 4591 z5658 the x3588 crimes 156 [laid] against 2596 him. 846
