Acts 25:6

Paul’s Trial before Festus

5So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”6After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.7When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
