No one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar

 Acts 25:1-27

Festus answered, “Paul is being held at Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon. Let some of your leaders come with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can press charges against him there.”

Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.”

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. 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!”

When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive.

Festus said:...For I think it is unreasonable to send a prisoner on to Rome without specifying the charges against him.

Why?

There is evidence that Paul has not committed crimes and should not be charged. But those officials are afraid of Jews, so they would like to send Paul to Caesar, and Paul insists on appealing to Caesar, for to be judged in Jerusalem would be death; it is unworthy.

How?

God's plan with Paul's citizenship rights he can go to Rome to appeal before Caesar.
