Acts 25:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ and when I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews ^(A)brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him. ¹⁶ I ^(B)replied to them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any person before ^(C)the accused meets his accusers face to face, and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges. ¹⁷ So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on ^(D)the tribunal and ordered that the man be brought.
