In context

14Since they were staying several days, Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom Felix left in prison.

15While I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews presented their case and requested a judgment against him.

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.
