| - | * [[Acts 24:1 (TRV)|1]] Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and ''with'' a certain orator ''named'' Tertullus, who gave evidence to the governor against Paul.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:2 (TRV)|2]] And when he was called upon, Tertullus began to accuse ''him'', saying: “Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and very admirable deeds are done to this nation by your foresight,
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:3 (TRV)|3]] we accept ''it'' always and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:4 (TRV)|4]] Nevertheless, not to be tedious to you any further, I beg you to hear, by your courtesy, a few words from us.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:5 (TRV)|5]] Because, we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the cult of the Nazarenes.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:6 (TRV)|6]] He even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him, and wanted to judge him according to our law.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:7 (TRV)|7]] But the commander Lysias went above us and with great violence took ''him'' out of our hands,
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:8 (TRV)|8]] commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:9 (TRV)|9]] And the Jews also assented, maintaining that these things were so.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:10 (TRV)|10]] Then Paul, after the governor had motioned to him to speak, replied: “Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:11 (TRV)|11]] because, you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:12 (TRV)|12]] And they neither found me in the temple disputing with anyone nor inciting the people, either in the synagogues or in the city.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:13 (TRV)|13]] Nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:14 (TRV)|14]] But this I confess to you, that according to 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.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:15 (TRV)|15]] I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and ''the'' unjust.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:16 (TRV)|16]] And in this I always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and ''towards'' men.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:17 (TRV)|17]] “Now after many years I came to bring charitable gifts and offerings to my nation,
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:18 (TRV)|18]] in the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with a mob nor with tumult.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:19 (TRV)|19]] They ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:20 (TRV)|20]] Or else let these people ''here'' say if they found any wrongdoing in me while I stood before the council,
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:21 (TRV)|21]] unless it is for this one statement which I shouted, standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day.’”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:22 (TRV)|22]] But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of ''that'' Way, he deferred them and said, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:23 (TRV)|23]] So he commanded the centurion to guard Paul and to let ''him'' have liberty, and that he should not forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:24 (TRV)|24]] And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:25 (TRV)|25]] Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and replied, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:26 (TRV)|26]] He also hoped that money would be given him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 24:27 (TRV)|27]] But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix' office; and Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.
