Acts 25:17

Festus Consults Agrippa

16I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand a man over before he has had an opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself against their charges.17So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.18But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
