On a day determined in advance, Herod<n id="1" /> put on his royal robes,<n id="2" /> sat down on the judgment seat,<n id="3" /> and made a speech<n id="4" /> to them.

So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue,<n id="1" /> and began to beat<n id="2" /> him in front of the judgment seat.<n id="3" /> Yet none of these things were of any concern<n id="4" /> to Gallio.p>

Paul replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I am standing before Caesar&#8217;s<n id="2" /> judgment seat,<n id="3" /> where I should be tried.<n id="4" /> I have done nothing wrong<n id="5" /> to the Jews, as you also know very well.<n id="6" />
