King James Version with Apocrypha
"And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him."
— Acts 25:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.”
“asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way. ”
“asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.”
“Requesting him to do them a favor against Paul, they urged Festus to summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him along the way.”
“Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.”
“Requesting Festus to give effect to their design against him, and send him to Jerusalem, when they would be waiting to put him to death on the way.”
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cesarea to Jerusalem.
Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
