12 But when Gallio was ^qproconsul of Achaia, ^rthe Jews¹ made a united attack on Paul and ^sbrought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to ^tthe law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious ^ucrime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But ^vsince it is a matter of questions about words and names and ^wyour own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.”

29 I found that he was being accused ⁱabout questions of their law, but ^jcharged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.

18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed.

31 And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, ^w“This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, ^x“This man could have been set ^yfree if he had not appealed ^zto Caesar.”
