Acts 25:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ But Paul said, “I am standing before the emperor’s judgment seat where I ought to be tried. I haven’t done anything wrong to the Jewish leaders,^[a] as you know very well. ¹¹ If I’m guilty and have done something that deserves death, I’m willing to die. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can hand me over to them as a favor. I appeal to the emperor!”

¹² Festus talked it over with the council and then answered, “To the emperor you have appealed; to the emperor you will go!”
