Acts 25:14-16

14While they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a man who was 1left as a prisoner by Felix;

15and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews 2brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.

16I 3answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before 4the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.
