Paul had appealed to Caesar, and Festus could not do otherwise than send him to Rome. But some time passed before a suitable ship could be found; and as other prisoners were to be sent with Paul, the consideration of their cases also occasioned delay. This gave Paul opportunity to present the reasons of his faith before the principal men of Caesarea, and also before King Agrippa II, the last of the Herods.

Paulus havde appelleret til kejseren og Festus kunne ikke gøre andet end sende ham til Rom. Men det varede nogen tid, før han kunne finde et passende skib og da der skulle sendes andre fanger sammen med Paulus, voldte det også forsinkelse at behandle deres sager. Derved fik Paulus lejlighed til at gøre rede for sin tro over for de højeststående mænd i Kæsarea og også for kong Agrippa II, den sidste af Herodesslægten.
