Herod {\cf2\super [241]} decided a day to meet with them. On that day Herod was wearing a beautiful royal robe. He sat on his throne and made a speech to the people.
At that time, the two kings were wearing their royal robes. They were sitting on the thrones. This was at the judging place near the gate of Samaria. All the prophets were standing before them. The prophets were prophesying. [228]
Then \{they will die and\} Sheol, {\cf2\super [53]} \{the place of death\}, will get more and more people. That \{place of death\} will open her mouth with no limit. And all those people will go down into Sheol.”
Pilate said these things while he was sitting in the place for judging. While he was sitting there, his wife sent a message to him. The message said, “Don’t do anything with that man (Jesus). He is not guilty. And today I had a dream about him, and it troubled me very much.”
Herod was very angry with the people from the cities of Tyre and Sidon. Those people all came in a group to Herod. They were able to get Blastus on their side. Blastus was the king’s personal servant. The people asked Herod for peace because their country needed food from Herod’s country.
Five days later Ananias went to the city of Caesarea. Ananias was the high priest. {\cf2\super [462]} Ananias also brought some of the older Jewish leaders and a lawyer named Tertullus. They went to Caesarea to make charges against Paul before the governor.
The next day Agrippa {\cf2\super [482]} and Bernice {\cf2\super [483]} appeared. They dressed and acted like very important people. Agrippa and Bernice, the army leaders, and the important men of Caesarea went into the judgment room. Festus commanded the soldiers to bring Paul in.
