Acts 25-28

Paul Before Festus

[11] "If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is [true] of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar." 

[12] Then when Festus had conferred with his council, he answered, "You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go."

[Act 26:17-18 LSB]

[27] "King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know you believe."
