Acts 24:10-21

10Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been for many years a judge to this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: 11That thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither provoking the people to sedition, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: 13Neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me. 14But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16And in this I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. 17Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. 18Upon which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. 19Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had any thing against me. 20Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, 21Except it is for this one thing, that I cried standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
