Acts 25

Although some time had passed the Jewish leaders were still determined to get Paul, so when the new governor, Festus, arrived, they presented him with charges against Paul. They wanted to have the opportunity to ambush and kill Paul as he was sent back to Jerusalem. So again we see the upper hypocrisy of the Jewish leaders. Instead, Festus invited them to send some leaders along with him to Caesarea.

Eventually Festus was ready to see Paul, and the Jews brought charges against him. Festus seemed willing to send Paul to Jerusalem, so Paul made use of his rights as a Roman citizen and appealed to Caesar, this meant he would be sent to Rome. So Paul's request was granted.

King Argippa viisted Festus and they discussed Paul's case, and Agrippa wanted to meet Paul.

What is the point of all this? The purpose is so that Paul can proclaim the gospel to various rulers. The whole purpose of his life was to declare the gospel, and God worked through all these circumstances to enable him to reach various people.
