Paul Appeals to Caesar Now three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
So the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought formal charges against Paul to him.
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.
Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself intended to go there shortly.
“So,” he said,“let your leaders go down there with me, and if this man has done anything wrong, they may bring charges against him.”
After Festus had stayed not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered Paul to be brought.
