<p>25:2 <em>And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews presented the charges against Paul; and they petitioned him</em>- As noted on :1, time had not healed them of their bitterness. Indeed, time can only make bitterness and jealousy grow even worse. This is why the Lord urges us to immediately try to resolve issues with our offended brethren; the idea that time heals is really a justification of our native laziness and preference not to address issues.</p>
