According to Luke, the writer of Acts, when Paul arrived, some people from Jerusalem made many serious complaints about him, but they couldn't show any proof that he did something wrong. It's like when someone says you did something bad, but they don't have any evidence to show you really did it.

Acts 25:7: And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

Contradiction with Proverbs 18:17

While Acts 25:7 shows false accusations without proof, Proverbs 18:17 emphasizes the importance of hearing both sides to find the truth.

Proverbs 18:17: [He that is] first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

Contradiction with John 7:51

Contradicts the judgement in Acts 25:7 as it outlines the need to hear a person before judging them.

John 7:51: Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

Contradiction with Proverbs 18:13

Acts 25:7 contains accusations without hearing Paul's defense, unlike the wisdom in this proverb that warns against judging without hearing.

Proverbs 18:13: He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him. [answereth...: Heb. returneth a word]

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 19:15

Because Acts 25:7 shows accusations without sufficient witnesses, it goes against this commandment that requires at least two witnesses to establish a matter.

Deuteronomy 19:15: One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
