After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”

I found he had done nothing deserving of death, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to send him to Rome.

Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you shall go.”

But I found that he had done nothing deserving death. And as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him.

Festus said, “King Agrippa and distinguished guests, take a good look at this man. A bunch of Jews petitioned me first in Jerusalem, and later here, to do away with him. They have been most vehement in demanding his execution. I looked into it and decided that he had committed no crime. He requested a trial before Caesar and I agreed to send him to Rome. But what am I going to write to my master, Caesar? All the charges made by the Jews were fabrications, and I’ve uncovered nothing else.
