If he had not appealed unto Caesar (Acts 25)

Acts chapter 25 is yet another chapter marked only with the "boring stuff" icon, and yes, like a lot of the end of Acts, it's largely people talking about stuff we've heard before. Festus comes to Jerusalem and the Sanhedrin asks Paul be brought there for judgment, but Festus insists that Paul stays at Caesarea and anyone who wants to accuse him should come there. Eventually, Festus returns to Caesarea and some of the Jews come there to accuse Paul again. Once again, they have a lot of accusations, but no proof. Paul claims that he has done nothing against either Jewish or Roman law, and says that he appeals to Caesar. Now, as a Roman citizen, he has the right to do this, and it guarantees that he will be sent to Rome, as Jesus told him would happen. King Herod Agrippa II and his wife/sister Bernice come to Caesarea eventually to visit Festus, and he tells them about Paul. Agrippa expresses interest in Paul, so Festus says he'll give him a chance to hear from him. He brings him the next day, expressing to Agrippa that maybe he can help write a letter to Caesar Augustus explaining why Paul is being sent, because he's not really clear on the matter.
