Acts 24:24-25:12, Faith In Christ

Acts 24:24-27 (KJV)
²⁴  And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
²⁵  And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
²⁶  He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
²⁷  But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

Acts 25:1-12 (KJV)
¹  Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
²  Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
³  And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
⁴  But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
⁵  Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
⁶  And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
⁷  And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
⁸  While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
⁹  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?
¹⁰  Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
¹¹  For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
¹²  Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
