Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
other than for this one statement which I had shouted out as I stood among them, ‘For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.’”
and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.
I answered them that it was not the Roman custom to sentence a man to be punished until the accused met his accusers face to face and had an opportunity to defend himself against the charge.
When they had heard my case, they wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
