“不先听本人的口供，查明他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？”

“不先听本人的口供，查明他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？”

“难道不听被告申辩，不查明事实真相，我们的律法就定祂的罪吗？”

“如果不先听取他本人的口供，查明他所作的事，我们的律法怎能把他定罪呢？”

“如果不先听本人的口供，并且了解他做了什么，我们的律法就定不了他的罪，难道不是吗？”

「不先聽本人的口供，不知道他所做的事，難道我們的律法還定他的罪嗎？」

「不先聽本人的口供，查明他所做的事，難道我們的律法還定他的罪嗎？」

「不先聽本人的口供，查明他所做的事，難道我們的律法還定他的罪嗎？」

「難道不聽被告申辯，不查明事實真相，我們的律法就定祂的罪嗎？」

“如果不先聽取他本人的口供，查明他所作的事，我們的律法怎能把他定罪呢？”

『若不先聽聽他本人的口供，而知道他所作的是甚麼事，難道我們的律法還定人的罪麼？』

未聽其言、不識其所為、而鞫之、豈我律乎、

未聽訟、不識其所為、我律豈罪之、

未究詰人、不識其所為、我律法豈罪之乎、

『未先聽訟、一究其所行、吾法豈能遽加以罪乎？』

“ Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”

“ Does our law find a man guilty without hearing him first? Doesn’t it want to find out what he is doing?”

“ Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?”

“ Is it legal to convict a man before he is given a hearing?” he asked.

“ Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”

“ Our Law does not judge the person unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”

“ Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”

Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

“ Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”

Doth our law judge[ any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

“ Our law doesn’t condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?”

“ Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

To answer before listening— that is folly and shame. (niv)

Then Paul said to him,“ God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!” (niv)

Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it.” (niv)

If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge— whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults— take them to the place the Lord your God will choose.Go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give you the verdict.You must act according to the decisions they give you at the place the Lord will choose. Be careful to do everything they instruct you to do.Act according to whatever they teach you and the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right or to the left. (niv)

One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse someone of a crime,the two people involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the Lord before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time.The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite,then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you. (niv)

On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. (niv)
