1Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
1ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲁ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ Ⲕⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ.
2where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus

3to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.

4But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.

5So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”

6After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
6⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲏ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲓ̅ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲔⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ..
7When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
7⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲣϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ..
8Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
8ⲉϥⲉⲣⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ..
9But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
9ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲉϭⲓϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ..
10Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
10ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ..
11If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

12Then Festus conferred with his council and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”

13After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
13⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲃⲉⲣⲛⲓⲕⲏⲁⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲔⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ..
14Since they were staying several days, Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom Felix left in prison.
14⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲁ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲭⲁ ⳿ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲩⲗⲓⲝ ..
15While I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews presented their case and requested a judgment against him.
15ⲉⲧⲁⲓϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲛ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲓⲕⲏ ..
16I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand a man over before he has had an opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself against their charges.
16ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲉⲙ ⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲓⲕⲓ ..
17So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.
17⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϭⲓϩⲟ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ..
18But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϩⲱⲟⲩ ..
19They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19ϩⲁⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲓϧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ..
20Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
20ⲛⲁⲓⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ..
21But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”

22Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” “Tomorrow you will hear him,” Festus declared.

23The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
23ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲃⲉⲣⲛⲓⲕⲏⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ..
24Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
24ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲕⲉⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲱⲛϧ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ..
25But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

26I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign one about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.
