Rome’s new man to Judea came
And the Council, Paul’s life sought to end
A petition they to the governor made
A favour they asked, for Paul to Jerusalem send
For an ambush had been arranged
To carry out the murderous deed
But the official, judicious was
And to them he did say
“You come with me to Caesarea,
And we will examine the things you claim you made.”
And there with Paul he found no fault,
But a second opinion Festus did seek
So Paul before Agrippa appeared
And he too, saw the charges were weak
But since an appeal to Caesar had been made
The law on the topic was clear
Paul to Rome must next journey
And before the Emperor appear
Padre
Acts Poem 25 from Acts 25.
