Acts 25:2

Paul

1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.

Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
