to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
In context
1 Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
2 where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus
3 to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
4 But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
5 So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”
