A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART XXV - VI
"I, Paul, was told that Governor Fesus had informed his guest King Agrippa, who had come to Caesarea, about my appeal to Caesar.... I remember that moment very well... And I remember too that Governor Festus had told me he would send me to Caesar...It seems king Agrippa has become quite curious about my case.... The reason I think that is because he has asked Governor Festus if he can hear me... Governor Festus has agreed to have me appear before King Agrippa tomorrow... That may well be because he hopes that King Agrippa can help him make a final decision about me... But I know that any final decision about me is in God's hands... Regardless what these men decide about me.... I know too that I am to share the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ with whomever I can... Including King Agrippa.".... Please read the typed out attachment whern you will learn of Governor Festus's dilemma with regards this prisoner Paul...
ATTACHMENT A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART XXV - VI
King Agrippa, who was visiting Governor Festus in Caesarea, continued to listen to him as Festus explained that Paul, in reply to his suggestion that he go back to Jerusalem, had asked to be send to Caesar as you can read in Acts 25:21
"When Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperors decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar."
No doubt, Festus' story about Paul ignited some curiosity in King Agrippa so he suggested to Festus that he hear Paul for himself as you can read in Acts 25:22a
Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I would like to hear this man myself."
Festus, very likely, was only too pleased that King Agrippa was willing to hear Paul for himself as you can read in Acts 25:22b
He replied, "Tomorrow you will hear him."
Perhaps King Agrippa could help him decide what to do with this prisoner Paul since Festus could not make up his mind how to solve this problem.
