G5347–Φῆστος–Phēstos

But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

Φῆστον, Phēston “Festus,”

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

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [ergänzt: thither] shortly.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus.

Φῆστον. Phēston “Festus.”

And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

And Agrippa [ergänzt: said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.

Φῆστον Phēston “Festus”

So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.

Φήστου Phēstou “Festus”

And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

Φῆστος· Phēstos “Festus;”

And as he thus made his defense, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.

Φῆστε, Phēste “Festus,”

And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
