Acts 26:32

American Standard Version (1901)

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

See the chapter Copy

who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.

But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:

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.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation.
