Festus

Porcius Festus was the Roman procurator (or governor) of Judea between about AD 59 and 62. Paul had his final hearing before Festus in Acts 25.1-12. Festus asked Paul whether he wanted to go to Jerusalem for a trial there but Paul declined and requested instead to be sent to the emperor in Rome.
