'Charges' in the Bible

When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.

Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."

The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay."

Great was the excitement among the crowd, and among the magistrates of the city, when they heard these charges.

Nor can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.

Upon Paul's arrival, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood round him, and brought many grave charges against him which they were unable to substantiate.

Then Festus, being anxious to gratify the Jews, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there stand your trial before me on these charges?"

For, when sending a prisoner to Rome, it seems to me to be absurd not to state the charges against him."
