Acts 25:3

“And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.”

Verse in context — Acts 25

Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly [thither].

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with [me], and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
