Acts 25:17-21

So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered that the man be brought.

When the accusers stood up, they did not begin bringing any charges against him of crimes that I suspected,

but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

And being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these matters.

But when Paul appealed to be held in custody for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered that he be kept in custody until I send him to Caesar.”
