People of God might be accused of so many things


Jews came from Jerusalem brought many charges against Paul

Acts 25:7

When Paul came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him. They brought many serious charges against him, but they could not prove them.

Mk 15:3

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

Luke 23:2, 10

Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him.

Acts 24:5, 6

“We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. [7] [a] By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”
The other Jews joined in the accusation, asserting that these things were true.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)   People of God might be accused of so many things
2)   Jews came from Jerusalem brought many charges against Paul
3)   Pilate was asking Jesus if He will not answer to many accusations that Jews were bringing against Him.  
4)   Herod plied Jesus with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer
5)   Paul was standing before Felix for his accusations.
