Acts 24:9-13
New American Standard Bible
10And when the governor had nodded for him to speak, Paul responded: 'Knowing that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I cheerfully make my defense,
11since you can take note of the fact that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12And neither in the temple did they find me carrying on a discussion with anyone or causing a riot, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city itself.
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
King James Version
10Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

13Neither can they prove the charges they are now making against me.

13These men cannot prove the things they accuse me of doing.
