Acts 25:22-27 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I have been wanting also to hear the man myself.” He says, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I have been wanting also to hear the man myself.” He says, “Tomorrow you will hear him.” ²³ So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice, having come with great pomp and having entered into the audience hall with both the commanders and the men in prominence in the city, and Festus having commanded, Paul was brought in. ²⁴ And Festus says, “King Agrippa and all men being present with us, you see this one concerning whom the whole multitude of the Jews pleaded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out of him that he ought not to live any longer. ²⁵ But I, having understood him to have done nothing worthy of death, of this one himself now having appealed to the Emperor, I determined to send him, ²⁶ concerning whom I have nothing definite to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that of the examination having taken place, I might have something to write. ²⁷ For it seems absurd to me, sending a prisoner, not also to specify the charges against him.”
