1Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

2Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,

3asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.

4However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

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.”

6When 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.

7When 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,

8while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”

9But 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?”
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 ..
10But 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.

11For 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!”
12ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲩⲙⲃⲟⲩⲗⲟⲛ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲁⲕⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ..
12Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
13⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲃⲉⲣⲛⲓⲕⲏⲁⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲔⲉⲥⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ..
13Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.

14As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a 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 elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

16I 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.
17⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϭⲓϩⲟ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ..
17When 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.
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϩⲱⲟⲩ ..
18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;

19but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, 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 ..
20Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
21ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϣⲁ ϯⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ..
21But 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.”
22ⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ϩⲱ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ..
22Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
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 ..
23So 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.
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 ..
24Festus 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.

25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,

26of 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.

27For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
