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”

However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go."

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.

Φῆστον. Phēston “Festus.”

As he stayed 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”

Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."

Φῆστον Phēston “Festus”

So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

Φήστου Phēstou “Festus”

Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

Φῆστος· Phēstos “Festus;”

As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!"

Φῆστος Phēstos “Festus”

But he said, "I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.

Φῆστε, Phēste “Festus,”

Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
