G5347–Φῆστος–Phēstos

But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.

Φῆστον, Phēston “Festus,”

Festus therefore, being come into the eparchy, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Festus, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things?

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.

Φῆστον. Phēston “Festus.”

And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

And Agrippa [supplied: said] to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

Φῆστον Phēston “Festus”

On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought.

Φήστου Phēstou “Festus”

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against [supplied: him] that he ought not to live any longer.

Φῆστος· Phēstos “Festus;”

And as he answered for his defence with these things, Festus says with a loud voice, Thou art mad, Paul; much learning turns thee to madness.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Paul said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness;

Φῆστε, Phēste “Festus,”

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been let go if he had not appealed to Caesar.
