Context of Acts 24:9

7but Lysias the commander came, and with great force took him out of our hands, 8and ordered his accusers to come before you.] By interrogating him yourself concerning all these matters you will be able to determine [the truth about] these things with which we charge him.” The Jews also joined in the attack, declaring and insisting that these things were so. 10When the governor nodded for him to speak, Paul answered, “Knowing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I make my defense cheerfully and with good courage. 11As you can easily verify, it has been no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
