I Appeal to Caesar

Name Date

Read the Story

Festus became the new governor. In Jerusalem the chief priests asked him to send Paul there. They planned to hurt Paul on the way. Festus said they should come to Caesarea instead.

Paul's accusers made many charges, but they could not prove them. Paul said he had not sinned against the law, the temple, or Caesar.

Festus asked if Paul would go to Jerusalem to be judged. Paul said he had done no wrong. He said, "I appeal to Caesar!" Festus said Paul would go to Caesar.

King Agrippa and Bernice came to greet Festus. Festus told Agrippa the charges were about their religion and a man named Jesus, who had died. Paul said Jesus is alive! Agrippa wanted to hear Paul himself.

Memory Verse
