488 B

General Information:

Here the word "us" refers to Festus and the Romans traveling with him, but not to his audience. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive)

Festus answered that Paul was being held at Caesarea, and that he himself was going there soon.

This can be stated as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: "But Festus said, 'Paul is being held prisoner in Caesarea, and I myself will soon return there.'" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)
