Apostlagärningarna 25:16

Men jag svarade dem att romarna inte brukar utlämna någon innan den anklagade har mött sina anklagare ansikte mot ansikte och fått möjlighet att försvara sig mot beskyllningen.

To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
