Acts 25:3-9

Wesley(i) 3 that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying an ambush to kill him by the way. 4 But Festus answered, That Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart thither shortly. 5 Therefore let those of you, said he, who are able, go down with me and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him. 6 And having tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Cesarea; and the next day, sitting on the judgment-seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. 7 And when he was come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem, stood round about him, bringing many and heavy accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove: 8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cesar have I offended at all. 9 But Festus, willing to gratify the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged before me concerning these things?
