Acts 25:8-11

Acts 25:8-11
The Voice
Paul (quietly and simply): 8 In no way have I committed any offense against Jewish law, against the Jewish temple and all it represents, or against the emperor.
9 Here Festus saw an opportunity to do just the favor Paul’s Jewish opponents had requested.
Festus: Would you like to have your trial in Jerusalem? I’d be willing to try your case there.
Paul: 10-11 If I had committed a capital offense, I would accept my punishment. But I’m sure it’s clear to you that I have done no wrong to the Jews. Since their charges against me are completely empty, it would be wrong to turn me over to them. No, I do not wish to go to Jerusalem. I am appealing to the court of the emperor in Rome.

8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple(A) or against Caesar.”
9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(B) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(C)
10 Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews,(D) as you yourself know very well.
