Acts 24:10-25

10And when 1the governorG2232 had noddedG3506 for him to speakG3004, PaulG3972 respondedG611:

“KnowingG1987 that for manyG4183 yearsG2094 you have beenG1510 a judgeG2923 to thisG3778 nationG1484, I cheerfullyG2115 makeG626 my defenseG626, 11since you canG1410 takeG1921 noteG1921 of theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 noG3756 moreG4183 than 2twelveG1427 daysG2250 agoG575 I wentG305 upG305 to JerusalemG2419 to worshipG4352. 123And neitherG3777 in the templeG2413 did they findG2147 me carryingG1256 onG1256 aG1256 discussionG1256 with anyoneG5100 orG2228 4causingG4160 5a riotG3793G1988, norG3777 in the synagoguesG4864, norG3777 in the cityG4172 itself. 136NorG3761 canG1410 they proveG3936 to you the things of whichG3739 they nowG3570 accuseG2723 me. 14But I confessG3670 thisG3778 to you, that inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 78the WayG3598, whichG3739 they callG3004 a 9sectG139, I do serveG3000 10the GodG2316 of our fathersG3971, 11believingG4100 everythingG3956 that is inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the LawG3551 and is writtenG1125 in the ProphetsG4396; 15havingG2192 a hopeG1680 in GodG2316, whichG3739 12theseG3778 menG3778 cherishG4327 themselvesG846, that there shall certainlyG3195 be a resurrectionG386 of bothG5037 the righteousG1342 and the wickedG94. 16In viewG1722 of thisG3778 13I alsoG2532 doG778 my bestG778 to maintainG2192 a blamelessG677 conscienceG4893 both beforeG4314 GodG2316 and before other peopleG444, alwaysG1223G3956. 17NowG1161 14afterG1223 severalG4183 yearsG2094 I 15cameG3854 to bringG4160 charitableG1654 giftsG1654 to my nationG1484 and to presentG4160 offeringsG4376, 18in whichG3739 they foundG2147 me occupied in the templeG2413, having been 16purifiedG48, withoutG3326G3756 any 17crowdG3793 orG3761 uproarG2351. But there were someG5100 18JewsG2453 from 19AsiaG773-- 19whoG3739 oughtG1163 to have beenG3918 presentG3918 beforeG1909 you and to have been 20bringingG2723 chargesG2723, ifG1487 they should haveG2192 anythingG5100 againstG4314 me. 20OrG2228 else have theseG3778 menG3778 themselvesG846 declareG3004 whatG5101 violationG92 they discoveredG2147 when I stoodG2476 beforeG1909 21the 22CouncilG4892, 21otherG2228 thanG2228 inG4012 regardG4012 toG4012 thisG3778 oneG1520 declarationG5456 whichG3739 23I shoutedG2896 while standingG2476 amongG1722 them, ‘For the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 I am onG2919 trialG2919 beforeG1909 you todayG4594!’”

22But FelixG5344, 24havingG3609 quiteG199 accurateG199 knowledgeG3609 aboutG4012 2526the WayG3598, adjournedG306 them, sayingG3004, “WhenG3752 LysiasG3079 the commanderG5506 comesG2597 downG2597, I will decideG1231 your caseG3588G2596.” 23He gaveG1299 ordersG1299 to the centurionG1543 for 27Paul to be 28keptG5083 inG5083 custodyG5083 and yet 29haveG2192 some freedomG425, and not to preventG2967 anyG3367 of 30his friendsG2398 from providingG5256 forG5256 his needsG5256.

24NowG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 laterG3326 FelixG5344 arrivedG3854 with DrusillaG1409 his 31wifeG1135, who was JewishG2453, and he sentG3343 for PaulG3972 and heardG191 him speak aboutG4012 32faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 25But as he was discussingG1256 33righteousnessG1343, 34self-controlG1466, and 35the judgmentG2917 toG3195 comeG3195, FelixG5344 becameG1096 frightenedG1719 and respondedG611, “GoG4198 awayG4198 for nowG3568G2192, and when I haveG3335 an opportunityG2540, I will summonG3333 you.”
