Acts 25:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Paul said in his defense, “I have committed no offense against the Jewish Law, or against the temple, or against the Emperor.” ⁹ Festus, anxious to ingratiate himself with the Jews, asked Paul, “Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial there before me on these charges?”

¹⁰ Paul replied, “I am standing before the tribunal of Caesar, and this is where I should be tried. I have committed no crime against the Jews, as you yourself well know.
