Contextual Overview
10The governor raised an eyebrow and motioned for Paul to rise and speak. Paul said, "Your reputation precedes you, sir. I asked to come here and present my case to you because I know for a fact you have been impartial in Jewish affairs before.
11It is no secret I arrived in Jerusalem about twelve days ago. I merely went to the main church to worship as I have done my whole life.
12These people talk about facts, but none of them can produce a shred of evidence that I was inciting a riot or riling anyone up. I didn't do anything wrong in a church building or even a street corner.
13They have nothing but words as proof of their accusations."
14Paul continued, "But I stand here today and tell you plainly that I am a cowboy riding for the Way. They call it a cult, but it is the furthest thing from it. I worship the same God they do and believe everything in the Code and what the prophets said.
15My accusers and I both share the hope that God will raise the dead . . . the good, the bad, and the ugly.
16Because of this, I watch everything I say and do. My conscience is absolutely clear before God and man.
17"I had been away for a couple of years and just returned with money to help my people and to offer sacrifices to God.
18They did find me in the main church as they said, but all I was doing was completing a purification ceremony. No one was around me, and there was certainly no riot.
19But here's what really happened, some Jews from the province of Asia saw me there. And might I add, they should be the ones here making the accusations, not these folks.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. As that he was a pestilent fellow, a mover of sedition, and a profaner of the temple these things they could not set forth in any clear light, and bring testimonies, or give demonstration of; they could not make them appear to be true, which it lay upon them to do, or otherwise in course he ought be acquitted: this was challenging and defying them to make good their assertions.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Neither can they prove the things ... - That is, that I am a mover of sedition, or a disturber of the peace of the people. This appeal he boldly makes; he challenges investigation; and as they did not offer to specify any acts of disorder or tumult excited by him, this charge falls of course.
