Acts 25:2-3
Then the high priest and the chief men of the Jews informed [Festus] against Paul; and they petitioned him, asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem— while they lay in ambush along the road to kill him.
No wonder the Lord rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for committing the sins of their fathers—persecuting and even putting to death the holy prophets sent to them by God.
