Festus and Agrippa
Agrippa’s Kingdom
Festus’ Summary• Felix left a prisoner• While in Jerusalem the Chief Priests, and elders laid
a case and asked for sentence of condemnation• Festus said, he needs to be tried first• Festus calls Paul into the tribunal
– Accusers brought no charge of great evils– Dispute about their own religion– Dispute about a certain Jesus who was dead but Paul
asserted to be alive

• But then Paul appealed to Caesar
