Apostlenes gjerninger 25,4

PaulPortiusCaesarea

2 Overprestene og jødenes ledere kom til ham med anklager mot Paulus, og de ba Festus.

3 De ba om en tjeneste mot Paulus, at han skulle bli ført til Jerusalem, mens de planla et bakhold for å drepe ham på veien.

Festus svarte at Paulus ble holdt i Cæsarea, og at han selv snart skulle dra dit.

5 Han sa: “La de innflytelsesrike menn blant dere komme med meg, og hvis det er noe galt med mannen, la dem anklage ham der.”

6 Etter å ha tilbrakt åtte eller ti dager med dem, dro Festus ned til Cæsarea. Neste dag satte han seg på tribunalen og beordret at Paulus skulle føres fram for ham.
