Acts 25:5

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with [me], and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

Let them therefore {G3767}, said {G5346} he, which among {G1722} you {G5213} are able {G1415}, go down with {G4782} me, and accuse {G2723} this {G846} man {G435}, if {G1536} there be {G2076} any wickedness {G1536} in {G1722} him {G5129}.

“So,” he said, “let competent men among you come down with me and press charges against the man, if he has done something wrong.”

So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”

Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.
