| Acts 25:8 | Paul argued in his defense, “Neither against the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Jews, nor against the (to | τό | acc sg neut) temple, nor against Caesar have I committed any offense.” |
| Acts 25:9 | But Festus, wanting to curry favor with the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) Jews, responded to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) Paul, saying, “Do you want to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me?” |
| Acts 25:10 | Paul answered, “I am now standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. Against the Jews I have done nothing wrong, as you yourself know very well. |
| Acts 25:11 | If then I am a wrongdoer and have done anything worthy of death, I am not trying to escape death; but if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one has a right to turn me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.” |
| Acts 25:12 | Then Festus, after conferring with the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) council, replied, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.” |
| Acts 25:13 | Now after some days had passed, Agrippa the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) king and Bernice came down to Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus. |
| Acts 25:14 | Since they were staying there several days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) king, saying, “There is a man left by Felix, a prisoner. |
| Acts 25:15 | When I came to Jerusalem, the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) chief priests and the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) elders of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Jews informed me about him, asking for a guilty verdict against him. |
| Acts 25:16 | I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to turn anyone over before the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) accused has met the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) accusers face to face and had an opportunity to make his defense against the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) charge. |
| Acts 25:17 | So when they met here, I made no delay, but on the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) next day took my seat on the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) judge’s bench and ordered the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) man to be brought. |
| Acts 25:18 | When the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evils as I was expecting, |
| Acts 25:19 | but had certain questions about their own religion to put to him and about a certain Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul claimed to be alive. |
| Acts 25:20 | Since I was uncertain about how to investigate such questions, I asked if he wanted to go to Jerusalem to be tried there on these charges. |
| Acts 25:21 | But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) decision of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) emperor, I ordered him to be held until I could send him to Caesar.” |
| Acts 25:22 | Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I too would like to hear the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) man myself.” “Tomorrow,” said he, “you will hear him.” |
| Acts 25:23 | So on the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) next day when Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the (to | τό | acc sg neut) audience hall along with the commanding officers and the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) prominent men of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) city, and when Festus had given the order, Paul was brought in. |
| Acts 25:24 | And Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men present with us, you see this man about whom the (to | τό | nom sg neut) whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer. |
| Acts 25:25 | But I found that he had done nothing worthy of death; and since he himself appealed to the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) emperor, I decided to send him. |
| Acts 25:26 | But I do not have anything definite about him to write to my (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that, when the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) examination has been conducted, I may have something to write. |
| Acts 25:27 | For it seems unreasonable to me, in sending a prisoner, not to report the (tas | τάς | acc pl fem) charges against him.” |
| Acts 26:1 | So Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) hand and began to make his defense: |
| Acts 26:3 | especially because you are well acquainted with all the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl neut) customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently. |
| Acts 26:4 | All the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) Jews know my manner of life from my youth, which (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) from the beginning was spent among my own people in Jerusalem, |
| Acts 26:5 | for they have known from the first, if they are willing to go on record, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) strictest party of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) our religious system. |
| Acts 26:6 | And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) promise made by God to our fathers, |
