1. NOW WHEN Festus had entered into his own province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2. And [there] the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews laid charges before him against Paul, and they kept begging and urging him,
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.
