⁴ Festus answered that Paul was in custody in Caesarea and that he himself planned to leave for there soon.

⁵ So, said he, let those who are in a position of authority and are influential among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss or criminal about the man, let them so charge him.

⁶ So when Festus had remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, took his seat the next day on the judgment bench, and ordered Paul to be brought before him.
