<p>25:4 <em>However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he intended to go there soon</em>- As we see from :9, Festus was not against holding a trial for Paul in Jerusalem. His refusal was therefore related to his awareness of the planned ambush. The Greek behind &quot;should be kept&quot; really is a statement of existing fact; the response was that Paul had been imprisoned in Caesarea and that therefore was where the trial should be held.</p>
