Acts 25:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 But Festus, (A)wanting to do the Jews a favor, replied to Paul and said, “(B)Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and [a]stand trial before me on these charges?” 10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s (C)tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know. 11 If, therefore, I am in the wrong and have committed something deserving death, I am not trying to avoid execution; but if there is nothing to the accusations which these men are bringing against me, no one can hand me over to them. I (D)appeal to Caesar.” 12 Then when Festus had conferred with [b]his council, he answered, “You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go.”

New International Version
9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(A) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(B)
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,(C) as you yourself know very well. 11 If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”(D)
12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
