Acts 25:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ And when he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood all around him, bringing many grave accusations against him which they were not able to prove.

⁸ Paul declared in [his own] defense, Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in any way.

⁹ But Festus, wishing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, answered Paul, Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be put on trial [^[a]before the Jewish Sanhedrin] in my presence concerning these charges?
