'Matters' in the Bible

As they were leaving, the people begged that these matters be presented to them the following Sabbath.

I found out that the accusations were about disputed matters in their law, and that there was no charge that merited death or chains.

Since I was at a loss in a dispute over such things, I asked him if he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there concerning these matters.

For the king knows about these matters. It is to him I am actually speaking boldly. For I am convinced that none of these things escapes his notice, since this was not done in a corner.
