7 When 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,

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

9 But 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?|

10 But 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.

11 For 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!|
