Acts 25:3-5

Common English Bible

³ they asked as a favor from Festus that he summon Paul to Jerusalem. They were planning to ambush and kill him along the way. ⁴ But Festus responded by keeping Paul in Caesarea, since he was to return there very soon himself. ⁵ “Some of your leaders can come down with me,” he said. “If he’s done anything wrong, they can bring charges against him.”
