Acts 25:5

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

Festus refused the accusers' request to send Paul to Jerusalem, declining to move him there for trial. Instead those among them who were able were to go down with him to Caesarea and there accuse the man if there was any wickedness or wrongdoing in him. This kept the trial in Caesarea, giving Paul a fair and lawful hearing where he could face his accusers and answer the charges brought against him.

The accused was not to be handed over or condemned merely to satisfy his accusers, but was to be given a fair hearing and a chance to answer them. The decision protected Paul's life by thwarting the leaders' plot to kill him on the journey to Jerusalem. The verse belongs to the account of Paul in chains being led toward a criminal's death while Nero ruled the world empire. In that setting it shows how a person trusting God's word can stand against human power and policy used to support evil.
