Acts 24

1AndG1161 afterG3326 fiveG4002 daysG2250 AnaniasG367 the high priestG3588G749 descendedG2597 withG3326 the eldersG4245, andG2532 with a certainG5100 oratorG4489 named TertullusG5061, whoG3748 informedG1718 the governorG3588G2232 againstG2596 PaulG3588G3972.

2AndG1161 when heG846 was called forthG2564, TertullusG3588G5061 beganG756 to accuseG2723 him, sayingG3004, Seeing that byG1223 theeG4771 we enjoyG5177 greatG4183 quietnessG1515, and thatG2532 very worthy deedsG2735 are doneG1096 unto thisG3778 nationG3588G1484 byG1223 thyG4674 providenceG4307,

3We acceptG588 it alwaysG3839, andG2532 in all placesG3837, most nobleG2903 FelixG5344, withG3326 allG3956 thankfulnessG2169.

4NotwithstandingG1161, thatG2443 I beG1465 notG3361 furtherG4119 tediousG1465 untoG1909 theeG4771, I prayG3870 theeG4771 that thou wouldest hearG191 usG1473 of thyG4674 clemencyG1932 a few wordsG4935.

5ForG1063 we have foundG2147 thisG3778 manG3588G435 a pestilentG3061 fellow, andG2532 a moverG2795 of seditionG4714 amongG3956 all the JewsG2453 throughoutG2596 the worldG3588G3625, andG5037 a ringleaderG4414 of the sectG139 of the NazarenesG3588G3480:

6WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath gone aboutG3985 to profaneG953 the templeG3588G2411: whomG3739 we tookG2902, andG2532 would haveG2309 judgedG2919 according toG2596 ourG2251 lawG3551.

7ButG1161 the chief captainG3588G5506 LysiasG3079 cameG3928 upon us, and withG3326 greatG4183 violenceG970 tookG520 him awayG520 out ofG1537 ourG1473 handsG3588G5495,

8CommandingG2753 hisG846 accusersG3588G2725 to comeG2064 untoG1909 theeG4771: by examiningG350 ofG3844 whomG3739 thyselfG846 mayestG1410 take knowledgeG1921 ofG4012 allG3956 these thingsG3778, whereofG3739 weG1473 accuseG2723 himG846.

9AndG1161 the JewsG2453 alsoG2532 assentedG4934, saying thatG5335 these thingsG3778 wereG2192 soG3779.

10ThenG1161 PaulG3588G3972, after thatG1161 the governorG3588G2232 had beckonedG3506 unto himG846 to speakG3004, answeredG611, ForasmuchG4012 as I know thatG1987 thouG4771 hast beenG1510 ofG1537 manyG4183 yearsG2094 a judgeG2923 unto thisG3778 nationG3588G1484, I do the more cheerfullyG2115 answer forG626 myselfG1683:

11Because thatG3754 thouG4771 mayestG1410 understandG1097, that there areG1510 yetG3756G4119 butG2228 twelveG1177 daysG2250 sinceG575 IG1473 went upG305 toG1722 JerusalemG2419 for to worshipG4352.

12AndG2532 theyG2147 neitherG3777 foundG2147 meG1473 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411 disputingG1256 withG4314 any manG5100, neitherG2228 raising upG1999 the peopleG3793, neitherG3777 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864, norG3777 inG2596 the cityG3588G4172:

13NeitherG3777 can theyG1410 prove the thingsG3936 whereofG4012G3739 they nowG3568 accuseG2723 meG1473.

14ButG1161 thisG3778 I confessG3670 unto theeG4771, thatG3754 afterG2596 the wayG3588G3598 whichG3739 they callG3004 heresyG139, soG3779 worship IG3000 the GodG2316 of my fathersG3971, believingG4100 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG2596 the lawG3588G3551 andG2532 in the prophetsG3588G4396:

15And haveG2192 hopeG1680 towardG1519 GodG3588G2316, whichG3739 theyG846 themselvesG3778 alsoG2532 allowG4327, that there shallG3195 beG1510 a resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, bothG5037 of the justG1342 andG2532 unjustG94.

16AndG1161 hereinG3778 do I exerciseG778 myselfG846, to haveG2192 alwaysG1275 a conscienceG4893 void of offenceG677 towardG4314 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 toward menG3588G444.

17NowG1161 afterG1223 manyG4119 yearsG2094 I cameG3854 to bringG4160 almsG1654 toG1519 myG1473 nationG3588G1484, andG2532 offeringsG4376.

18WhereuponG1722G3739 certainG5100 JewsG2453 fromG575 AsiaG3588G773 foundG2147 meG1473 purifiedG48 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, neitherG3756 withG3326 multitudeG3793, norG3761 withG3326 tumultG2351.

19WhoG3739 oughtG1163 to have been hereG3918 beforeG1909 theeG4771, andG2532 objectG2723, ifG1487 they hadG2192 oughtG5100 againstG4314 meG1473.

20Or elseG2228 letG3004 theseG3778 sameG846 here sayG3004, ifG1487 they have foundG2147 anyG5100 evil doingG92 inG1722 meG1473, while IG1473 stoodG2476 beforeG1909 the councilG3588G4892,

21ExceptG2228 it be forG4012 thisG3778 oneG1520 voiceG5456, thatG3739 I criedG2896 standingG2476 amongG1722 themG846, TouchingG4012 the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 IG1473 am called in questionG2919 byG5259 youG4771 this dayG4594.

22AndG1161 when FelixG3588G5344 heardG191 these thingsG3778, havingG1492 more perfectG199 knowledgeG1492 ofG4012 that wayG3588G3598, he deferredG306 themG846, and saidG3004, WhenG3752 LysiasG3079 the chief captainG3588G5506 shall come downG2597, I will know the uttermostG1231 of yourG4771 matterG2596.

23AndG5037 he commandedG1299 a centurionG3588G1543 to keepG5083 PaulG3588G3972, andG5037 to letG2192 him haveG2192 libertyG425, andG2532 that he should forbidG2967 noneG3367 of hisG846 acquaintanceG2398 to ministerG5256 orG2228 come untoG4334 himG846.

24AndG1161 afterG3326 certainG5100 daysG2250, whenG3854 FelixG3588G5344 cameG3854 withG4862 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135 DrusillaG1409, whichG1510 was a JewessG2453, he sent forG3343 PaulG3588G3972, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 concerningG4012 the faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547.

25And asG1161 heG846 reasonedG1256 ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, temperanceG1466, andG2532 judgmentG3588G2917 to comeG1510, FelixG3588G5344 trembledG1719, and answeredG611, Go thy wayG4198 for this timeG3568; whenG1161 I haveG3588G2192 a convenient seasonG2540, I will callG3335G3333 for theeG4771.

26He hopedG1679 alsoG2532 thatG3754 moneyG5536 should have been givenG1325 himG846 ofG5259 PaulG3588G3972, thatG3704 he might looseG3089 himG846: whereforeG1352 he sent forG3343 himG846 the oftenerG4437, and communedG3656 withG260 himG846.

27ButG1161 afterG4137 two yearsG1333 PorciusG4201 FestusG5347 came intoG2983 Felix’G3588G5344 roomG1240: andG5037 FelixG3588G5344, willingG2309 to shewG2698 the JewsG3588G2453 a pleasureG5485, leftG1210 PaulG3588G3972 boundG2641.
