4
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly [thither].
5
Let them therefore, said he, who among you are able, go down with [me], and accuse this man, if there is any wickedness in him.

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Cesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.
