  • 8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.”保罗为自己辩护说：“我从来没有违背犹太律法，亵渎圣殿或反叛凯撒！”

  • 9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”非斯都为了讨好犹太人，就对保罗说：“你是否愿意回耶路撒冷接受我的审讯？”

  • 10 Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well. 保罗说：“我此刻正站在凯撒的法庭上，这就是我应该受审的地方。你很清楚，我并没有做过什么对不起犹太人的事。

  • 11 If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”如果我做错了，犯了该死的罪，我决不逃避！但他们对我的指控毫无根据，谁也不能把我交给他们。我要向凯撒上诉！”

  • 12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!” 非斯都和议会商讨后，说：“你说要上诉凯撒，就去见凯撒吧！”
