17So, when they had come together here, straight away, on the day after, I took my place on the judge's seat and sent for the man.
18But when they got up they said nothing about such crimes as I had in mind:
19But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.
20And as I had not enough knowledge for the discussion of these things, I made the suggestion to him to go to Jerusalem and be judged there.
21But when Paul made a request that he might be judged by Caesar, I gave orders for him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
22And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.
23So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.
