9. But Festus, wishing to do the Yehuḏim a favour, answering Sha’ul, said, “Do you wish to go up to Yerushalayim and be judged before me there concerning these matters?”
10. And Sha’ul said, “I am standing at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I should be judged. To the Yehuḏim I have done no wrong, as you know well enough.
11. “For if indeed I do wrong, or have committed whatever deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is none at all in these matters of which these men accuse me, no one is able to give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
12. Then Festus, having talked with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!”
13. And certain days having passed, Sovereign Agrippa and Bernike came to Caesarea to greet Festus.
