And Agrippa said to Festus,“ He could have been set free if he hadn’t appealed to Caesar.”

But when the Jewish leaders protested the decision, I felt it necessary to appeal to Caesar, even though I had no desire to press charges against my own people.

But in my opinion he has done nothing deserving death. However, since he appealed his case to the emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome.

But David kept thinking to himself,“ Someday Saul is going to get me. The best thing I can do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me in Israelite territory, and I will finally be safe.”

“ If my land accuses me and all its furrows cry out together,or if I have stolen its crops or murdered its owners,then let thistles grow on that land instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley.” Job’s words are ended.

But Paul appealed to have his case decided by the emperor. So I ordered that he be held in custody until I could arrange to send him to Caesar.”
