Acts 24:27

27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.

1 Three days after arriving in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,

Acts 25:4

4 Festus answered, “Paul is being held at Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.

Acts 25:9

9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”

Acts 25:12

12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”

Acts 25:13

13 A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.

Acts 25:14

14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul’s case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.

22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”

24 Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.

Acts 26:24

24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane.”

Acts 26:25

25 “I am not insane, most excellent Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable.

Acts 26:32

32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
