while they lay in ______

4 But Festus ________ that Paul
should be kept at ________, and that he himself was going there shortly.
5 “Therefore,” he said, “let those who have _________

to see if there is any _____ in him.”
6 And when he had ________ among them
more than ___ _____, he went down to Caesarea.
And the next day sitting on the _________ ____,

7 When he had come, the ____ who had come down from Jerusalem
stood about and laid many _______ __________ against Paul,
which they could not _____,
8 while he answered for himself, “Neither against the ___ of the Jews,
nor against the ______,
nor against ______ have
I ________ in anything at all.”
9 But Festus, _______ to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said,
“Are you _______ to go up to Jerusalem
and there be ______ before me concerning these things?”
10 So Paul said, “I stand at ________ ________ seat, where I ought to be judged.
To the Jews I have done no _____,
as you very well ____.
11 For if I am an ________,
or have _________
anything _________
of _____,
I do not _______

I ______ to Caesar.”
12 Then Festus, when he had __________
with the _______, answered,
“You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall __!”
13 And after some days ____ _______ and
_______ came to Caesarea
to _____ Festus.
14 When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul’s ____ before the king, saying:
“There is a certain man left a ________
by _____,
15 about whom the chief priests and the ______ of the Jews
________ me, when I was in Jerusalem,
asking for a judgment ________ him.
16 To them I answered, ‘It is not the ______
of the ______ to deliver
any man to ___________ before the accused
meets the ________ face to face,
and has ___________ to answer for himself concerning
the ______ against him.’
17 Therefore when they had come ________,
without any _____, the next day I sat on the judgment seat
and _________ the man
to be _______ in.
18 When the accusers ______ up,
they brought no __________ against him
of such things as I ________,
19 but had some _________ against him
about their own _________
and about a certain _____,
who had ____,
whom Paul _________
to be _____.
20 And because I was _________ of such questions,
I asked whether he was _______ to go to Jerusalem
and there be judged concerning these _______.
21 But when Paul appealed to be ________
for the ________
of ________,
I commanded him to be ____ till I could send him to Caesar.”
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to ____ the man myself.”
“________,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
23 So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great ____,
and had _______
the __________
with the __________
and _________ ___ of the city, at Festus’ command Paul was brought in.
24 And Festus said: “King Agrippa and all the men who are here _______ with us,
you see this man about whom the whole ________ of the Jews petitioned me,
both at Jerusalem and here, ______ out that he was not fit to live any longer.
25 But when I found that he had _________
nothing deserving of _____, and that he himself had appealed to Augustus,
I ________ to send him.
26 I have nothing certain to _____ to my lord concerning him.
Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the ____________ has taken place
I may have __________ to write.
27 For it seems to me ____________ to send a prisoner
and not to _______ the charges against him.”
Where is my puzzle?
