G5347–Φῆστος–Phēstos

But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

Φῆστον, Phēston “Festus,”

So Festus, having come into that part of the country which was under his rule, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Then Festus, having had a discussion with the Jews, made answer, You have said, Let my cause come before Caesar; to Caesar you will go.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

Φῆστον. Phēston “Festus.”

And as they were there for some days, Festus gave them Paul's story, saying, There is a certain man here who was put in prison by Felix:

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

Φῆστον Phēston “Festus”

So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

Φήστου Phēstou “Festus”

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all those who are present here with us, you see this man, about whom all the Jews have made protests to me, at Jerusalem and in this place, saying that it is not right for him to be living any longer.

Φῆστος· Phēstos “Festus;”

And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

Φῆστε, Phēste “Festus,”

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been made free, if he had not put his cause before Caesar.

Φήστῳ Phēstō “to Festus”
