I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.If then I am in the wrong and have done anything that deserves death, I am not trying to escape dying, but if not one of their charges against me is true, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”Then, after conferring with his council, Festus replied,“ You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you will go!”After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
