'Accusation' in the Bible

But he did not answer even one accusation, so that the governor was quite amazed.

Then some soldiers also asked him, "And as for us -- what should we do?" He told them, "Take money from no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your pay."

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for an accusation against this man."

So Pilate came outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

Pilate asked, "What is truth?" When he had said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders and announced, "I find no basis for an accusation against him.

Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him."

When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said, "You take him and crucify him! Certainly I find no reason for an accusation against him!"

I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to hand over anyone before the accused had met his accusers face to face and had been given an opportunity to make a defense against the accusation.

Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it can be confirmed by two or three witnesses.
