Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Festus therefore having arrived in the province after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
Made a presentation (then *N+kO) before him (the *N+kO) (chief priests *N+KO) and the chiefs of the Jews against Paul and they were begging him
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
asking a favor against him, that he may summon him to Jerusalem, an ambush forming to execute him on the way.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Indeed therefore Festus answered that is to be kept Paul (in Caesarea, *N+kO) he himself however ensuing with speed to set out;
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Those therefore among you he says [in] power having gone down too, if anything there is in the man wrong, they should accuse him.
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Having spent then with them days (not *NO) more (than eight *NO) or ten, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat he commanded Paul to be brought.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
When was arriving then he they stood around (him *NO) the from Jerusalem having come down Jews many and weighty charges (presenting *N+kO) (concerning Paul *K) which not they were able to prove,
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
(Paul *no) was presenting a defense (of him *k) that Neither [I sinned] against the law of the Jews nor [I sinned] against the temple nor against Caesar [in] anything have I sinned.
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Festus however wishing from the Jews a favor to lay, answering Paul said; Are you willing to Jerusalem having gone up there concerning these things (to be judged *N+kO) before me?
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Said then Paul; Before the judgment seat of Caesar standing I am, where me it behooves to be judged. To [the] Jews no [thing] (I have done wrong, *NK+o) as also you yourself very well know;
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
If indeed (therefore *N+kO) I do wrong and worthy of death have done anything, not I do refuse to die; If however no [thing] there is of which they [can] accuse me, no [one] me can to them giving up. To Caesar I appeal!
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Then Festus having conferred with the Council answered; To Caesar You have appealed, to Caesar you will go!
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
When days now having passed some Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea (greeting *N+kO) Festus.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
As now many days (they were staying *NK+o) there, Festus to the king laid before the [things] relating to Paul saying; A man certain there is left by Felix [as] a prisoner,
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
concerning whom having been of me in Jerusalem made a presentation the chief priests and the elders of the Jews asking against him (penalty; *N+kO)
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
to whom I answered that not it is [the] custom with Romans to give up any man (into punishment *K) before than the [one] being accused to face he would be [able] the accusers [the] opportunity and of defense he would have concerning the accusation.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
When were assembling therefore they here delay no having made, on the next [day] having sat on the judgment seat I commanded to be brought the man;
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
concerning whom having stood up the accusers no charge (were bringing *N+kO) of which I myself was suspect (crimes; *N+O)
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Questions however certain concerning the own religion they had against him and concerning a certain Jesus having died whom was affirming Paul to be alive.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Being perplexed now I myself (into *k) concerning (these *N+kO) inquiry was asking if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and there and there to be judged concerning these things.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
But Paul having appealed for to be kept himself for the Emperor's decision I commanded to be kept him until that (I may return *N+kO) him to Caesar.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Agrippa then to Festus (was saying: *k) I was wanting also myself the man to hear. (now *k) Tomorrow he says you will hear him.
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
On the therefore next day when was coming Agrippa and Bernice with great pomp and having entered into the audience hall with both (to the *k) commanders and to men who in prominence (being *k) in the city and when was commanding Festus was brought in Paul.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
And says Festus; Agrippa King and all you who [are] (being present with *NK+o) us men, you see this one concerning whom (all *N+kO) the multitude of the Jews (they pleaded *NK+o) with me in both Jerusalem and here (crying [that] *N+kO) not needing of him to live no longer.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
I myself however (having grasped *N+kO) nothing worthy him of death to have done, (and *k) himself and of this one having appealed to the Emperor I determined to send (him. *k)
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
concerning whom definite anything to write to [my] lord not I have, Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that when the examination having taken place I may have something (I may write; *N+kO)
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Absurd for to me it seems [in] sending a prisoner not also the against him charges to specify.
