25:23 So the next day Agrippa 4 and Bernice came with great pomp 5 and entered the audience hall, 6 along with the senior military officers 7 and the prominent men of the city. When Festus 8 gave the order, 9 Paul was brought in. 25:24 Then Festus 10 said, “King Agrippa, 11 and all you who are present here with us, you see this man about whom the entire Jewish populace 12 petitioned 13 me both in Jerusalem 14 and here, 15 shouting loudly 16 that he ought not to live any longer. 25:25 But I found that he had done nothing that deserved death, 17 and when he appealed 18 to His Majesty the Emperor, 19 I decided to send him. 20 25:26 But I have nothing definite 21 to write to my lord 22 about him. 23 Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, 24 so that after this preliminary hearing 25 I may have something to write. 25:27 For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner without clearly indicating 26 the charges against him.”
