| [1]NowG3767 when FestusG5347 was comeG1910[G5631] into the provinceG1885, afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 he ascendedG305[G5627] fromG575 CaesareaG2542 toG1519 JerusalemG2414. |
[1]Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea, |
| [2]ThenG1161 the high priestG749 andG2532 the chiefG4413 of the JewsG2453 informedG1718[G5656] himG846 againstG2596 PaulG3972, andG2532 besoughtG3870[G5707] himG846, |
[2]and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him, |
| [3]And desiredG154[G5734] favourG5485 againstG2596 himG846, thatG3704 he would send forG3343[G5667] himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, layingG4160[G5723] waitG1747 inG2596 the wayG3598 to killG337[G5629] himG846. |
[3]asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way. |
| [4]ButG3303[G3767] FestusG5347 answeredG611[G5662], that PaulG3972 should be keptG5083[G5745] atG1722 CaesareaG2542, andG1161 that he himselfG1438 wouldG3195[G5721] departG1607[G5738][G1722] shortly thitherG5034. |
[4]Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither, |
| [5]Let them thereforeG3767, saidG5346[G5748] he, which amongG1722 youG5213 are ableG1415, go down withG4782[G5631] me, and accuseG2723[G5720] thisG846 manG435, ifG1536 there beG2076[G5748] any wickednessG1536 inG1722 himG5129. |
[5]`Therefore those able among you -- saith he -- having come down together, if there be anything in this man -- let them accuse him;' |
| [6]AndG1161 when he had tarriedG1304[G5660] amongG1722 themG846 moreG4119 thanG2228 tenG1176 daysG2250, he went downG2597[G5631] untoG1519 CaesareaG2542; and the next dayG1887 sittingG2523[G5660] onG1909 the judgment seatG968 commandedG2753[G5656] PaulG3972 to be broughtG71.[G5683] |
[6]and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought; |
| [7]AndG1161 when heG846 was comeG3854[G5637], the JewsG2453 which came downG2597[G5761] fromG575 JerusalemG2414 stood round aboutG4026[G5627], andG2532 laidG5342[G5723] manyG4183 and grievousG926 complaintsG157 againstG2596 PaulG3972, whichG3739 they couldG2480[G5707] notG3756 proveG584.[G5658] |
[7]and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove, |
| [8]While he answeredG626[G5740] for himselfG846, NeitherG3754[G3777] againstG1519 the lawG3551 of the JewsG2453, neitherG3777 againstG1519 the templeG2411, nor yetG3777 againstG1519 CaesarG2541, have I offendedG264[G5627] any thing at allG5100. |
[8]he making defence -- `Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar -- did I commit any sin.' |
| [9]ButG1161 FestusG5347, willingG2309[G5723] to doG2698[G5641] the JewsG2453 a pleasureG5485, answeredG611[G5679] PaulG3972, and saidG2036[G5627], Wilt thouG2309[G5719] go upG305[G5631] toG1519 JerusalemG2414, and thereG1563 be judgedG2919[G5745] ofG4012 these thingsG5130 beforeG1909 meG1700? |
[9]And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?' |
| [10]ThenG1161 saidG2036[G5627] PaulG3972, I standG1510[G5748][G2476][G5761] atG1909 Caesar'sG2541 judgment seatG968, whereG3757 IG3165 oughtG1163[G5748] to be judgedG2919[G5745]: to the JewsG2453 have I doneG91 noG3762 wrongG91[G5656], asG5613[G2532] thouG4771 very wellG2566 knowestG1921.[G5719] |
[10]and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know; |
| [11]ForG1063 ifG1487[G3303] I be an offenderG91[G5719], orG2532 have committedG4238[G5758] any thingG5100 worthyG514 of deathG2288, I refuseG3868[G5736] notG3756 to dieG599[G5629]: butG1161 ifG1487 there beG2076[G5748] noneG3762 of these thingsG3739 whereof theseG3778 accuseG2723[G5719] meG3450, no manG3762 mayG1410[G5736] deliverG5483[G5664] meG3165 unto themG846. I appeal untoG1941[G5731] CaesarG2541. |
[11]for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!' |
| [12]ThenG5119 FestusG5347, when he had conferredG4814[G5660] withG3326 the councilG4824, answeredG611[G5662], Hast thou appealed untoG1941[G5764] CaesarG2541? untoG1909 CaesarG2541 shalt thou goG4198.[G5695] |
[12]then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, `To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.' |
| [13]AndG1161 afterG1230[G5637] certainG5100 daysG2250 kingG935 AgrippaG67 andG2532 BerniceG959 cameG2658[G5656] untoG1519 CaesareaG2542 to saluteG782[G5697] FestusG5347. |
[13]And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus, |
| [14]AndG1161 whenG5613 they had beenG1304[G5707] thereG1563 manyG4119 daysG2250, FestusG5347 declaredG394[G5639] Paul'sG3972 causeG2596 unto the kingG935, sayingG3004[G5723], There isG2076[G5748] a certainG5100 manG435 leftG2641[G5772] in bondsG1198 byG5259 FelixG5344: |
[14]and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner, |
| [15]AboutG4012 whomG3739, whenG1096 IG3450 wasG1096[G5637] atG1519 JerusalemG2414, the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the JewsG2453 informedG1718[G5656] me, desiringG154[G5734] to have judgmentG1349 againstG2596 himG846. |
[15]about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him, |
| [16]ToG4314 whomG3739 I answeredG611[G5662],[G3754] It isG2076[G5748] notG3756 the mannerG1485 of the RomansG4514 to deliverG5483[G5738] anyG5100 manG444 toG1519 dieG684, beforeG4250 thatG2228 he which is accusedG2723[G5746] haveG2192[G5722] the accusersG2725 face to faceG2596[G4383],[G5037] and haveG2983[G5630] licenceG5117 to answer for himselfG627 concerningG4012 the crime laid against himG1462. |
[16]unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against [him]. |
| [17]ThereforeG3767, when theyG846 were comeG4905[G5631] hitherG1759, withoutG4160[G5671] anyG3367 delayG311 on the morrowG1836 I satG2523[G5660] onG1909 the judgment seatG968, and commandedG2753[G5656] the manG435 to be brought forthG71.[G5683] |
[17]`They, therefore, having come together -- I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought, |
| [18]AgainstG4012 whomG3739 when the accusersG2725 stood upG2476[G5685], they broughtG2018[G5707] noneG3762 accusationG156 of such things asG3739 IG1473 supposedG5282:[G5707] |
[18]concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of, |
| [19]ButG1161 hadG2192[G5707] certainG5100 questionsG2213 againstG4314 himG846 ofG4012 their ownG2398 superstitionG1175, andG2532 ofG4012 oneG5100 JesusG2424, which was deadG2348[G5761], whomG3739 PaulG3972 affirmedG5335[G5707] to be aliveG2198.[G5721] |
[19]but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive; |
| [20]AndG1161 because IG1473 doubtedG639[G5734] ofG1519 suchG5127 mannerG4012 of questionsG2214, I askedG3004[G5707] him whetherG1487 he wouldG1014[G5739] goG4198[G5738] toG1519 JerusalemG2419, and thereG2546 be judgedG2919[G5745] ofG4012 these mattersG5130. |
[20]and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things -- |
| [21]ButG1161 when PaulG3972 had appealedG1941[G5671] to be reservedG5083[G5683][G846] untoG1519 the hearingG1233 of AugustusG4575, I commandedG2753[G5656] himG846 to be keptG5083[G5745] tillG2193[G3739] I might sendG3992[G5661] himG846 toG4314 CaesarG2541. |
[21]but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.' |
| [22]ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346[G5713] untoG4314 FestusG5347, I wouldG1014[G5711] alsoG2532 hearG191[G5658] the manG444 myselfG846. To morrowG839,[G1161] saidG5346[G5748] he, thou shalt hearG191[G5695] himG846. |
[22]And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;' |
| [23]And on the morrowG1887, whenG3767 AgrippaG67 was comeG2064[G5631], andG2532 BerniceG959, withG3326 greatG4183 pompG5325, andG2532 was enteredG1525[G5631] intoG1519 the place of hearingG201, withG4862[G5037] the chief captainsG5506, andG2532 principalG2596[G1851] menG435 ofG5607[G5752] the cityG4172, atG2532 Festus'G5347 commandmentG2753[G5660] PaulG3972 was brought forthG71.[G5681] |
[23]on the morrow, therefore -- on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered -- Paul was brought forth. |
| [24]AndG2532 FestusG5347 saidG5346[G5748], KingG935 AgrippaG67, andG2532 allG3956 menG435 whichG3588 are here presentG4840[G5752] with usG2254, ye seeG2334[G5719] this manG5126, aboutG4012 whomG3739 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 of the JewsG2453 have dealtG1793[G5627] with meG3427, bothG5037 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 also hereG1759, cryingG1916[G5723] that he oughtG1163[G5750] notG3361 to liveG2198[G5721] any longerG3371. |
[24]And Festus said, `King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer; |
| [25]ButG1161 when IG1473 foundG2638[G5642] that heG846 had committedG4238[G5760] nothingG3367 worthyG514 of deathG2288, andG2532[G1161] that he himselfG846 hath appealedG5127 toG1941[G5671] AugustusG4575, I have determinedG2919[G5656] to sendG3992[G5721] himG846. |
[25]and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him, |
| [26]OfG4012 whomG3739 I haveG2192[G5719] noG3756 certainG804 thingG5100 to writeG1125[G5658] unto my lordG2962. WhereforeG1352 I have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254[G5627] beforeG1909 youG5216, andG2532 speciallyG3122 beforeG1909 theeG4675, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, thatG3704, after examinationG351 hadG1096[G5637], I might haveG2192[G5632] somewhatG5100 to writeG1125.[G5658] |
[26]concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write; |
| [27]ForG1063 it seemethG1380[G5719] to meG3427 unreasonableG249 to sendG3992[G5723] a prisonerG1198, andG2532 not withalG3361 to signifyG4591[G5658] the crimesG156 laid againstG2596 himG846. |
[27]for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.' |
