Paul before Festus
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
1 Festus then, having arrived in the province, three days later went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.1 NOW when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. 1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
2 And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews brought charges against Paul, and they were urging him,2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,2 And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,2 And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him, 2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him the things against Paul, and were calling on him,
3 requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way).3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.3 asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.3 Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way. 3 asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
4 Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody at Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave shortly.4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.4 Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart thither'shortly.4 But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither. 4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,
5 "Therefore," he said, "let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him."5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.5 Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.5 Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man. 5 'Therefore those able among you -- saith he -- having come down together, if there be anything in this man -- let them accuse him;'
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
6 After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.6 And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.6 And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought. 6 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;
7 After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him which they could not prove,7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.7 And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;7 Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove; 7 and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,
8 while Paul said in his own defense, "I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar."8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.8 while Paul said in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.8 Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing. 8 he making defence -- 'Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar -- did I commit any sin.'
9 But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges?"9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?9 But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? 9 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, 'Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'
10 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know.10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.10 But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.10 Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest. 10 and Paul said, 'At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
11 "If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar."11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.11 If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is true whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.11 For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar. 11 for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!'
12 Then when Festus had conferred with his council, he answered, "You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go."12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go.12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go. 12 then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, 'To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.'
13 Now when several days had elapsed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.13 Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus.13 And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus. 13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,
14 While they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix;14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix. 14 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, 'There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,
15 and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me , asking for sentence against him.15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him. 15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
16 "I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.16 To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.16 To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge. 16 unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against him.
17 "So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought before me.17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.17 When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.17 When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought. 17 They, therefore, having come together -- I, making no delay, on the succeeding day having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought,
18 "When the accusers stood up, they began bringing charges against him not of such crimes as I was expecting,18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of: 18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against him no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
19 but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.19 but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.19 But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 19 but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
20 "Being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these matters.20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.20 And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.20 I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things. 20 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things --
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
21 "But when Paul appealed to be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I send him to Caesar."21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.21 But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar. 21 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.'
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.22 And Agrippa'said unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.22 And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. 22 And Agrippa said unto Festus, 'I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, 'To-morrow thou shalt hear him;'
Paul before Agrippa
23 So, on the next day when Agrippa came together with Bernice amid great pomp, and entered the auditorium accompanied by the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.23 So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.23 And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment, Paul was brought forth. 23 on the morrow, therefore -- on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered -- Paul was brought forth.
24 Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all you gentlemen here present with us, you see this man about whom all the people of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly declaring that he ought not to live any longer.24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.24 And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.24 And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer. 24 And Festus said, 'King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;
25 "But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death; and since he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.25 But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.25 Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. 25 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
26 "Yet I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.26 Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write. 26 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;
27 "For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate also the charges against him."27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge. 27 for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.'
