Acts 26:3-8
31especially because you are an expert in all 2customs and 3questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4“So then, all Jews know 4my way of life since my youth, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and in Jerusalem, 5since they have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a 5Pharisee 6according to the strictest 7sect of our religion. 6And now I am standing trial 8for the hope of 9the promise made by God to our fathers; 7the promise 10to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. For this 11hope, O king, I am being 12accused by Jews. 8Why is it considered incredible among you people 13if God raises the dead?
