1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

2And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,

3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.

4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.

5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.

6And 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.
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 ..
7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;

8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
9ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲉϭⲓϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ..
9But 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?
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 ..
10Then 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.
11ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϯϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ϯⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲧⲏⲓⲧ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϯⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ..
11For 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.
12ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲩⲙⲃⲟⲩⲗⲟⲛ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲁⲕⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ..
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.

13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲁ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲭⲁ ⳿ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲩⲗⲓⲝ ..
14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
15ⲉⲧⲁⲓϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲛ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲓⲕⲏ ..
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
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 ..
16To 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.
17⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϭⲓϩⲟ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ..
17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϩⲱⲟⲩ ..
18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
19ϩⲁⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲓϧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ..
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20ⲛⲁⲓⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲍⲏⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ..
20I 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.
21ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϣⲁ ϯⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ..
21But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
22ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ϩⲱ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ..
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

23And 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.
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 ..
24And 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.
25⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉϥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲁⲓϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ..
25Yet 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.

26Of 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.
27ϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣⲥⲩⲙⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲕⲉⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲉⲧϭⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ .
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
