Excerpt from The Heavenly Vision and Other Sermons In the presence of King Agrippa and a splendid retinue, the Apostle had appeared to explain his conduct. He was a prisoner of the Romans. Jewish enmity charged him with sedition and conspiracy. He had made an appeal unto Caesar, and was await ing the time of his departure for the Imperial City. The Procurator, Porcius F estus, was interested in his case, and was glad of the opportunity of bringing him before his royal guests. The occasion was one of un usual magnificence. Paul was facing a brilliant court, as he stood to relate the circumstances of his life. This was not a defence. His appeal had transferred the trial to Rome. He was simply responding to the orders of the Procurator, who had summoned him from his prison to entertain Agrippa and Bernice.
