Acts 25

For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him. v.27

Read chapter 25
First Paul is brought before Festus and he can find nothing wrong of Paul so then he's brought before King Agrripa to see if he can find Paul at fault.  Both Festus and Agrippa are non-Jews, but even as they look at the Jewish law they see nothing wrong he's done.  So why don't they just let Paul go instead of digging so deep to find something/anythign?  All because they want to please the Jews (v.9).  Just as with Jesus and false accusations to get Him crucified so false accusations t kill Paul by the authority.  They need something to "justify" their actions so they can still seem rights to others and to themselves.
Where do you see this scheming today?  When do you try to justify your actions for doing something you know is wrong?
