Acts 25:25-29

But I found that he had committed nothing deserving death; and since he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

Yet, I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore, I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him as well.”
