Paul Appeals to Caesar

1 Now when Festus had come to the province, after three days he went up from aCaesarea to Jerusalem.  
2 aThen the1 high priest and the chief men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they petitioned him,  
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem—awhile they lay in ambush along the road to kill him.

12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!”
