Acts 25:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ Since they stayed there many days, Festus presented Paul’s case to the king, saying, “There’s a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix. ¹⁵ When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented their case and asked for a judgment against him.^{(A) 16} I answered them that it’s not the Romans’ custom to give any man up^[a] before the accused confronts the accusers face to face and has an opportunity to give a defense concerning the charges.^(B)
