Acts 25:17-19

17So after they arrived together here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my place on the tribunal and ordered that the man be brought before me.

18When his accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of crimes that I was expecting [neither civil nor criminal actions],

19instead they had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about one Jesus, a man who had died, but whom Paul kept asserting and insisting [over and over] to be alive.
