Acts 25:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.

¹⁵ About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.

¹⁶ To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
