Acts 25:8
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ ἡμέρας τρεῖς συγκαλέσασθαι τὸν Παῦλον τοὺς ὄντας τῶν Ἰουδαίων πρώτους· συνελθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἔλεγεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί Ἐγώ οὐδὲν ἐναντίον ποιήσας τῷ λαῷ ἢ τοῖς ἔθεσιν τοῖς πατρῴοις δέσμιος ἐξ Ἱεροσολύμων παρεδόθην εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν Ῥωμαίων
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called together: the chief of the Jews and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
καὶ οὔτε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὗρόν με πρός τινα διαλεγόμενον ἢ ἐπισύστασιν ποιοῦντα ὄχλου οὔτε ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς οὔτε κατὰ τὴν πόλιν
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
Ἡ γὰρ καύχησις ἡμῶν αὕτη ἐστίν τὸ μαρτύριον τῆς συνειδήσεως ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐν ἁπλότητι καὶ εἰλικρινείᾳ θεοῦ οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ σαρκικῇ ἀλλ' ἐν χάριτι θεοῦ ἀνεστράφημεν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ περισσοτέρως δὲ πρὸς ὑμᾶς
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
ἔστησάν τε μάρτυρας ψευδεῖς λέγοντας Ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος οὐ παύεται ῥήματα βλάσφημα λαλῶν κατὰ τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ἁγίου τούτου καὶ τοῦ νόμου·
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶה חָטָאתִֽי לְךָ וְלַעֲבָדֶיךָ וְלָעָם הַזֶּה כִּֽי-נְתַתֶּם אוֹתִי אֶל-בֵּית הַכֶּֽלֶא׃
Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
οἱ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπον Ἡμεῖς οὔτε γράμματα περὶ σοῦ ἐδεξάμεθα ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας οὔτε παραγενόμενός τις τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἀπήγγειλεν ἢ ἐλάλησέν τι περὶ σοῦ πονηρόν
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
כִּֽי-גֻנֹּב גֻּנַּבְתִּי מֵאֶרֶץ הָֽעִבְרִים וְגַם-פֹּה לֹֽא-עָשִׂיתִֽי מְאוּמָה כִּֽי-שָׂמוּ אֹתִי בַּבּֽוֹר׃
For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
ἀτενίσας δὲ ὁ Παῦλος τῷ συνεδρίῳ εἶπεν Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί ἐγὼ πάσῃ συνειδήσει ἀγαθῇ πεπολίτευμαι τῷ θεῷ ἄχρι ταύτης τῆς ἡμέρας
And Paul, earnestly beholding the before council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience God until this day.
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Παῦλος Ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμι οὗ με δεῖ κρίνεσθαι Ἰουδαίους οὐδὲν ἠδίκησα ὡς καὶ σὺ κάλλιον ἐπιγινώσκεις
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
ὃς καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπείρασεν βεβηλῶσαι ὃν καὶ ἐκρατήσαμεν καὶ κατά τόν ἡμέτερον νόμον ἠθελήσαμεν κρίνειν
Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
δι' ἐτῶν δὲ πλειόνων παρεγενόμην ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου καὶ προσφοράς
Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
אֱלָהִי שְׁלַח מַלְאֲכֵהּ וּֽסֲגַר פֻּם אַרְיָוָתָא וְלָא חַבְּלוּנִי כָּל-קֳבֵל דִּי קָֽדָמוֹהִי זָכוּ הִשְׁתְּכַחַת לִי וְאַף (קדמיך) קָֽדָמָךְ מַלְכָּא חֲבוּלָה לָא עַבְדֵֽת׃
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
