Acts 24:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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.

⁹ The Jews also agreed and joined in the accusation, declaring that all these things were exactly so.

¹⁰ And when the governor had beckoned to Paul to speak, he answered: Because I know that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I find it easier to make my defense and do it cheerfully and with good courage.
