Hechos 25:1 - 12
1Festo, entonces, tres días después de haber llegado a la provincia, subió a Jerusalén desde
Cesarea.
2Y los principales sacerdotes y los judíos más influyentes le presentaron acusaciones contra
Pablo, e instaban a Festo,
3pidiéndole, contra Pablo, el favor de que lo hiciera traer a Jerusalén (preparando ellos, al
mismo tiempo, una emboscada para matarlo en el camino).
4Pero Festo respondió que Pablo estaba bajo custodia en Cesarea, y que en breve él mismo
partiría para allá.
5Por tanto, dijo*, que los más influyentes de vosotros vayan allá conmigo, y si hay algo
malo en el hombre, que lo acusen.
6Después de haberse quedado no más de ocho o diez días entre ellos, descendió a Cesarea, y
al día siguiente se sentó en el tribunal y ordenó que trajeran a Pablo.
7Cuando éste llegó, lo rodearon los judíos que habían descendido de Jerusalén, presentando
contra él muchas y graves acusaciones que no podían probar,
8mientras Pablo decía en defensa propia: No he cometido ningún delito, ni contra la ley de
los judíos, ni contra el templo, ni contra el César.
9Pero Festo, queriendo hacer un favor a los judíos, respondió a Pablo, y dijo: ¿Estás
dispuesto a subir a Jerusalén y a ser juzgado delante de mí por estas acusaciones ?
10Entonces Pablo respondió: Ante el tribunal del César estoy, que es donde debo ser
juzgado. Ningún agravio he hecho a los judíos, como también tú muy bien sabes.
11Si soy, pues, un malhechor y he hecho algo digno de muerte, no rehúso morir; pero si
ninguna de esas cosas de que éstos me acusan es verdad, nadie puede entregarme a ellos.
Apelo al César.
12Entonces Festo, habiendo deliberado con el consejo, respondió: Al César has apelado, al
César irás.
1Festus then, having arrived in (A)the province, three days later went up to Jerusalem from (B)Caesarea.
2And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews (C)brought charges against Paul, and they were urging him,
3requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, (D)setting an
ambush to kill him on the way).
4Festus then (E)answered that Paul (F)was being kept in custody at (G)Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave
shortly.
5"Therefore," he said, "let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man,
let them prosecute him."
6After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to (H)Caesarea, and on the next day he
took his seat on (I)the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.
7After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing (J)many and serious
charges against him (K)which they could not prove,
8while Paul said in his own defense, "(L)I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the
temple or against Caesar."
9But Festus, (M)wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, "(N)Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and
stand trial before me on these charges?"
10But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's (O)tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews,
as you also very well know.
11"If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those
things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I (P)appeal to Caesar."
12Then when Festus had conferred with his council, he answered, "You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go."

17 "Así diréis a José: 'Te ruego que perdones la
maldad de tus hermanos y su pecado, porque ellos
te trataron mal.'" Y ahora, te rogamos que
perdones la maldad de los siervos del Dios de tu
padre. Y José lloró cuando le hablaron.
18 Entonces sus hermanos vinieron también y se
postraron delante de él, y dijeron: He aquí, somos
tus siervos.
19 Pero José les dijo: No temáis, ¿acaso estoy yo en
lugar de Dios?
20 Vosotros pensasteis hacerme mal, pero Dios lo
tornó en bien para que sucediera como vemos
hoy, y se preservara la vida de mucha gente.
Genesis 50: 17-20 (NASB)
17 'Thus you shall say to Joseph, "Please forgive, I
beg you, the transgression of your brothers and
their sin, for they did you wrong."' And now,
please forgive the transgression of the servants of
the God of your father." And Joseph wept when
they spoke to him.
18 Then his brothers also came and fell down before
him and said, "Behold, we are your servants."
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am
I in God's place?
20 "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God
meant it for good in order to bring about this
present result, to preserve many people alive.
Romanos/Romans 8: 28 (LBLA/NASB)

work together for good to those who love

and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD
God, compassionate and gracious, slow to
anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and
truth;

eterno peso de gloria que sobrepasa toda
comparación,
17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us
an eternal weight of glory far beyond all
comparison,
Salmo/Psalm 31: 13, 14 (LBLA/NASB)
13 Porque he oído la calumnia de muchos, el terror
está por todas partes; mientras traman juntos
contra mí, planean quitarme la vida.
14 Pero yo, oh SEÑOR, en ti confío; digo: Tú eres
mi Dios.
13 For I have heard the slander of many, Terror is
on every side; While they took counsel together
against me, They schemed to take away my life.
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD, I say,
"You are my God."

dijo: Ten ánimo, porque como has testificado
fielmente de mi causa en Jerusalén, así has de

ardiente.

levantándose apresuradamente preguntó a sus altos
oficiales: ¿No eran tres los hombres que echamos
atados en medio del fuego? Ellos respondieron y
dijeron al rey: Ciertamente, oh rey.
25 El rey respondió y dijo: ¡Mirad! Veo a cuatro
hombres sueltos que se pasean en medio del fuego
sin sufrir daño alguno, y el aspecto del cuarto es
semejante al de un hijo de los dioses.
Daniel 3: 23-26 (LBLA)
26 Entonces Nabucodonosor se acercó a la puerta del
horno de fuego ardiente y dijo: Sadrac, Mesac y
Abed-nego, siervos del Dios Altísimo, salid y venid
acá. Entonces Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego salieron
de en medio del fuego.
Daniel 3: 23-26 (NASB)
23 But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, fell into the midst of the furnace of blazing
fire still tied up.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and
stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was
it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the
fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."
25 He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking
about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the
appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"
Daniel 3: 23-26 (NASB)
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the
furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said,
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out,
you servants of the Most High God, and come
here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego
came out of the midst of the fire.
I Pedro 4: 12, 13 (LBLA)
12 Amados, no os sorprendáis del fuego de
prueba que en medio de vosotros ha venido
para probaros, como si alguna cosa extraña os
estuviera aconteciendo;
13 antes bien, en la medida en que compartís los
padecimientos de Cristo, regocijaos, para que
también en la revelación de su gloria os
regocijéis con gran alegría.
I Peter 4: 12, 13 (NASB)
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery
ordeal among you, which comes upon you for
your testing, as though some strange thing
were happening to you;
13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings
of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at
the revelation of His glory you may rejoice
with exultation.

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and
stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was
it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the
fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."
25 He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking
about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the
appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"
Daniel 3: 23-26 (NASB)
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the
furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said,
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out,
you servants of the Most High God, and come
here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego
came out of the midst of the fire.
I Peter 4: 12, 13 (NASB)
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery
ordeal among you, which comes upon you for
your testing, as though some strange thing
were happening to you;
13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings
of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at
the revelation of His glory you may rejoice
with exultation.
