ACC ~ Acts 24 v21

READINESS TO GIVE ACCOUNT TO ALL. CHRYSOSTOM: This is ample justification that [Paul] did not flee from his accusers but was ready to give account to all. “With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you this day.” And not a word did he say of what he could have said, that they conspired against him, detained him and imprisoned him. For these things can justly be said of the tribune, and yet they were not said by Paul, even though he was in danger. Instead, he is silent and only defends himself, when there was much he could have said. HOMILIES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 50.
