'Charges' in the Bible
So if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a case against anyone, the courts are in session, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.
It is they who ought to be here before you to bring charges, if they have anything against me.
When he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him and brought many serious charges that they were not able to prove,
Then Festus, wanting to do a favor for the Jews, replied to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be tried before me on these charges?”
For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner and not to indicate the charges against him.”
