Philip Neri, Priest Obligatory Memorial
First Reading:Â Acts 25:Â 13b-21
13b King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
15Â About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
16Â To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
17Â When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
18Â Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
19Â But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20Â I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
21Â But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.

18Â Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.
