to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
Acts 25:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 25.
1 Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
2 where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus
3 to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
4 But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
5 So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”
6 After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
7 When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
