'Charges' in the Bible

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."
