Acts 24:27

But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: speak: Heb. answer

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
