Acts 25:14-16

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁴ And while they were spending more days there, Festus laid-before the king the things concerning Paul, saying, “A certain man has been left-behind by Felix as a prisoner, ¹⁵ concerning whom— I having come-to-be in Jerusalem— the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought-charges, asking-for a sentence-of-condemnation against him, ¹⁶ to whom I responded that it is not a custom with Romans to freely-give any person^[a] before the one being accused should have his accusers face-to-face, and should receive a place^[b] for a defense concerning the accusation.
