And it being made known to me that a plot against the man was about to be executed by the Jews, I at once sent him to you, also commanding the accusers to say the things against him before you. Farewell.
commanding his accusers to come to you, from whom you will be able yourself to know, having examined as to all these things of which we are accusing him.
to whom I answered, It is not a custom with Romans to give up any man to destruction before the one being accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defense concerning the charge.
