1. Three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
2. where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders brought their charges against Paul. They begged Festus
3. to do them the favour of bringing Paul to Jerusalem, for they had made a plot to kill him on the way.
4. Festus answered, “Paul is being kept a prisoner in Caesarea, and I myself will be going back there soon.
5. Let your leaders go to Caesarea with me and accuse the man if he has done anything wrong.”
