Acts 25:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ He said, “[^LTherefore,] Some of your ·leaders [authorities] should go with me. They can accuse the man there in Caesarea, if he has really done something wrong.”

⁶ ·Festus [^LHe] stayed ·in Jerusalem [^Lamong them] another eight or ten days and then went ·back [^Ldown] to Caesarea. The next day he ·told the soldiers to bring Paul [^Lordered Paul to be brought] before him. Festus was seated on the ·judge’s seat [tribunal] ⁷ when Paul came into the room. The ·people [^LJews] who had come [^Ldown] from Jerusalem stood around him, making serious charges against him, which they could not prove.
