They are both grammatically correct it is just that the former is using perfact past. As sited from  <span>Cambridge Grammar of the English Language "</span>The preterite perfect [i.e. the past perfect] locates the writing anterior to an intermediate time which is anterior to the time of speaking - it is doubly anterior (140).

One charge against Socrates was that his teaching was destructive. In at least 150 words, defend Socrates as he might defend him
bezimeni [28]
<span>Socrates speaks in a very plain, conversational manner. He explains that he has no experience with the law courts and that he will instead speak in the manner to which he is accustomed: with honesty and directness. He explains that his behavior stems from a prophecy by the oracle at Delphi which claimed that he was the wisest of all men. Recognizing his ignorance in most worldly affairs, Socrates must be wiser than other men only in that he knows nothing. In order to spread this peculiar wisdom, Socrates explains that he considered it his duty to question supposed "wise" men and to expose their false wisdom as ignorance</span>
