Acts 24:5-14

5For we have foundG2147 this manG435 a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the JewsG2453 throughout the worldG3625, and a ringleader of the sectG139 of the Nazarenes: 6who moreover assayed to profane the templeG2411: on whom alsoG2532 we laidG2902 holdG2902: 71 8from whom thou wilt be ableG1410, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these thingsG3778 whereof we accuseG2723 him. 9And the JewsG2453 alsoG2532 joined in the charge, affirming that these thingsG3778 were so.

10And when the governorG2232 had beckoned unto him to speakG3004, PaulG3972 answeredG611,

Forasmuch as I knowG1987 that thou hast beenG1510 of manyG4183 yearsG2094 a judgeG2923 unto this nationG1484, I cheerfully make my defence: 11seeing that thou canst take knowledge that it isG1510 not moreG4183 than twelveG1427 daysG2250 since I wentG305 up to worshipG4352 at JerusalemG2419: 12and neither in the temple did they findG2147 me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowdG3793, nor in the synagoguesG4864, nor in the cityG4172. 13Neither can they prove to thee the thingsG3739 whereof they nowG3570 accuseG2723 me. 14But this I confessG3670 unto thee, that after the WayG3598 which they call a sectG139, so serveG3000 I the GodG2316 of our fathersG3971, believingG4100 all thingsG3778 which are accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, and which are writtenG1125 in the prophetsG4396;
