NASB
"requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way)."
— Acts 25:3, NASB
“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.”
“And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.”
Festus then, having arrived in the province, three days later went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews brought charges against Paul, and they were urging him,
requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way).
Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody at Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave shortly.
"Therefore," he *said, "let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him."
After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.
