Acts 24:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ He also [even] tried to desecrate and defile the temple, but we laid hands on him ^[a]and would have sentenced him by our Law,

⁷ But the commandant Lysias came and took him from us with violence and force,

⁸ And ordered his accusers to present themselves to you. By examining and cross-questioning him yourself, you will be able to ascertain the truth from him about all these things with which we charge him.
