1 Festus, étant arrivé dans la province, monta trois jours après de Césarée à Jérusalem.

2 Les principaux sacrificateurs et les principaux d’entre les Juifs lui portèrent plainte contre Paul. Ils firent des instances auprès de lui, et, dans des vues hostiles,

3 lui demandèrent comme une faveur qu’il le fît venir à Jérusalem. Ils préparaient un guet-apens, pour le tuer en chemin.

4 Festus répondit que Paul était gardé à Césarée, et que lui-même devait partir sous peu.

5 Que les principaux d’entre vous descendent avec moi, dit-il, et s’il y a quelque chose de coupable en cet homme, qu’ils l’accusent.
