Acts 25:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ The things they ·said [disputed] were about their own ·religion [or superstition] and about a man named Jesus who died. But Paul ·said [claimed] that he is still alive. ²⁰ ·Not knowing [At a loss] how to ·find out about [investigate] these questions, I asked Paul, ‘·Do you want [or Are you willing] to go to Jerusalem and be ·judged [tried] there [^Lconcerning these things]?’ ²¹ But he asked to be ·kept in Caesarea [^Lheld in custody]. He wants a decision from ·the emperor [or His Majesty; the Revered/August One; ^CA title for Caesar, the ruler of the Roman world, first given to Caesar “Augustus”; here it refers to Nero]. So I ordered that he be held [in custody] until I could send him to Caesar.”
