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.”

7 When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
9 But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
10 Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
