And so, when Festus had arrived in the province, after three days, he ascended to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
And the leaders of the priests, and those first among the Jews, went to him against Paul. And they were petitioning him,
asking for favor against him, so that he would order him to be led to Jerusalem, where they were maintaining an ambush in order to kill him along the way.
