Context of Acts 24:13

11As thou mayest know that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem, 12and neither in the temple did they find me discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me. 14But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets; 15having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust.
