Acts 25:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented their case and asked for a judgment against him.^{(A) 16} I answered them that it’s not the Romans’ custom to give any man up^[a] before the accused confronts the accusers face to face and has an opportunity to give a defense concerning the charges.^{(B) 17} Therefore, when they had assembled here, I did not delay. The next day I sat at the judge’s bench and ordered the man to be brought in.
