"As you also very well know" Certainly Paul knew that. return to Jerusalem was dangerous for had already escaped one attempted assassination. Paul knew and understood the lengths that these Jews would go to far better than Festus (Romans 10:1 "zeal without knowledge"). In addition, such. trip was completely unnecessary. Caesarea was the seat of the Roman administration, and this trial and the one before Felix should have proven that Paul had done nothing wrong. After all how many trials does it take to declare. man innocent. Felix had found nothing wrong with Paul, neither had the Roman commander in Jerusalem and neither had Festus at this proceeding. It reminds me of the Jews that kept pressing Pilate after he had declared Jesus innocent.
