Acts 23:12-35

23:12

And
<1161>

when it was
<1096> (5637)

day
<2250>_,

certain
<5100>

of the Jews
<2453>

banded together
<4160> (5660) <4963>_,

and bound
<332> (0)

themselves
<1438>

under a curse
<332> (5656)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)

that they would
<5315> (0)

neither
<3383>

eat
<5315> (5629)

nor
<3383>

drink
<4095> (5629)

till
<2193> <3757>

they had killed
<615> (5725)

Paul
<3972>_.

{under a curse: or, with an oath of execration}

23:13

And
<1161>

they were
<2258> (5713)

more than
<4119>

forty
<5062>

which
<3588>

had made
<4160> (5761)

this
<5026>

conspiracy
<4945>_.

23:14

And they
<3748>

came to
<4334> (5631)

the chief priests
<749>

and
<2532>

elders
<4245>_,

and said
<2036> (5627)_,

We have bound
<332> (5656)

ourselves
<1438>

under a great curse
<331>_,

that we will eat
<1089> (5664)

nothing
<3367>

until
<2193> <3739>

we have slain
<615> (5725)

Paul
<3972>_.

23:15

Now
<3568>

therefore
<3767>

ye
<5210>

with
<4862>

the council
<4892>

signify
<1718> (5657)

to the chief captain
<5506>

that
<3704>

he bring
<2609> (0)

him
<846>

down
<2609> (5632)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>

to morrow
<839>_,

as
<5613>

though ye would
<3195> (5723)

enquire
<1231> (5721)

something more perfectly
<197>

concerning
<4012>

him
<846>_:

and
<1161>

we
<2249>_,

or ever
<4253>

he
<846>

come near
<1448> (5658)_,

are
<2070> (5748)

ready
<2092>

to kill
<337> (5629)

him
<846>_.

23:16

And
<1161>

when Paul's
<3972>

sister's
<79>

son
<5207>

heard
<191> (5660)

of their lying in wait
<1749>_,

he went
<3854> (5637)

and
<2532>

entered
<1525> (5631)

into
<1519>

the castle
<3925>_,

and told
<518> (5656)

Paul
<3972>_.

23:17

Then
<1161>

Paul
<3972>

called
<4341> (5666)

one
<1520>

of the centurions
<1543>

unto [him], and said
<5346> (5713)_,

Bring
<520> (5628)

this
<5126>

young man
<3494>

unto
<4314>

the chief captain
<5506>_:

for
<1063>

he hath
<2192> (5719)

a certain thing
<5100>

to tell
<518> (5658)

him
<846>_.

23:18

So
<3767> <3303>

he took
<3880> (5631)

him
<846>_,

and brought
<71> (5627)

[him] to
<4314>

the chief captain
<5506>_,

and
<2532>

said
<5346> (5748)_,

Paul
<3972>

the prisoner
<1198>

called
<4341> (5666)

me
<3165>

unto [him], and prayed me
<2065> (5656)

to bring
<71> (5629)

this
<5126>

young man
<3494>

unto
<4314>

thee
<4571>_,

who hath
<2192> (5723)

something
<5100>

to say
<2980> (5658)

unto thee
<4671>_.

23:19

Then
<1161>

the chief captain
<5506>

took
<1949> (5637)

him
<846>

by the hand
<5495>_,

and
<2532>

went [with him] aside
<402> (5660)

privately
<2596> <2398>_,

and asked
<4441> (5711)

[him], What
<5101>

is
<2076> (5748)

that
<3739>

thou hast
<2192> (5719)

to tell
<518> (5658)

me
<3427>_?

23:20

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

<3754>

The Jews
<2453>

have agreed
<4934> (5639)

to desire
<2065> (5658)

thee
<4571>

that
<3704>

thou wouldest bring down
<2609> (5632)

Paul
<3972>

to morrow
<839>

into
<1519>

the council
<4892>_,

as
<5613>

though they would
<3195> (5723)

enquire
<4441> (5738)

somewhat
<5100>

of
<4012>

him
<846>

more perfectly
<197>_.

23:21

But
<3767>

do
<3982> (0)

not
<3361>

thou
<4771>

yield
<3982> (5686)

unto them
<846>_:

for
<1063>

there lie in wait for
<1748> (5719)

him
<846>

of
<1537>

them
<846>

more than
<4119>

forty
<5062>

men
<435>_,

which
<3748>

have bound
<332> (0)

themselves
<1438>

with an oath
<332> (5656)_,

that they will
<5315> (0)

neither
<3383>

eat
<5315> (5629)

nor
<3383>

drink
<4095> (5629)

till
<2193> <3739>

they have killed
<337> (5661)

him
<846>_:

and
<2532>

now
<3568>

are they
<1526> (5748)

ready
<2092>_,

looking for
<4327> (5740)

a promise
<1860>

from
<575>

thee
<4675>_.

23:22

So
<3303> <3767>

the chief captain
<5506>

[then] let
<630> (0)

the young man
<3494>

depart
<630> (5656)_,

and charged
<3853> (5660)

[him, See thou] tell
<1583> (5658)

no man
<3367>

that
<3754>

thou hast shewed
<1718> (5656)

these things
<5023>

to
<4314>

me
<3165>_.

23:23

And
<2532>

he called unto
<4341> (5666)

[him]
<5100>

two
<1417>

centurions
<1543>_,

saying
<2036> (5627)_,

Make ready
<2090> (5657)

two hundred
<1250>

soldiers
<4757>

to
<3704>

go
<4198> (5680)

to
<2193>

Caesarea
<2542>_,

and
<2532>

horsemen
<2460>

threescore and ten
<1440>_,

and
<2532>

spearmen
<1187>

two hundred
<1250>_,

at
<575>

the third
<5154>

hour
<5610>

of the night
<3571>_;

23:24

And
<5037>

provide
<3936> (5658)

[them] beasts
<2934>_,

that
<2443>

they may set
<1913> (0)

Paul
<3972>

on
<1913> (5660)_,

and bring [him] safe
<1295> (5661)

unto
<4314>

Felix
<5344>

the governor
<2232>_.

23:25

And he wrote
<1125> (5660)

a letter
<1992>

after
<4023> (5723)

this
<5126>

manner
<5179>_:

23:26

Claudius
<2804>

Lysias
<3079>

unto the most excellent
<2903>

governor
<2232>

Felix
<5344>

[sendeth] greeting
<5463> (5721)_.

23:27

This
<5126>

man
<435>

was taken
<4815> (5685)

of
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>_,

and
<2532>

should
<3195> (5723)

have been killed
<337> (5745)

of
<5259>

them
<846>_:

then came I
<2186> (5631)

with
<4862>

an army
<4753>_,

and rescued
<1807> (5639)

him
<846>_,

having understood
<3129> (5631)

that
<3754>

he was
<2076> (5748)

a Roman
<4514>_.

23:28

And
<1161>

when
<1014> (0)

I would
<1014> (5740)

have known
<1097> (5629)

the cause
<156>

wherefore
<1223> <3739>

they accused
<1458> (5707)

him
<846>_,

I brought
<2609> (0)

him
<846>

forth
<2609> (5627)

into
<1519>

their
<846>

council
<4892>_:

23:29

Whom
<3739>

I perceived
<2147> (5627)

to be accused
<1458> (5746)

of
<4012>

questions
<2213>

of their
<846>

law
<3551>_,

but
<1161>

to have
<2192> (5723)

nothing
<3367>

laid to his charge
<1462>

worthy
<514>

of death
<2288>

or
<2228>

of bonds
<1199>_.

23:30

And
<1161>

when it was told
<3377> (5685)

me
<3427>

how that
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>

laid wait
<1917> <3195> (5721) <1510> (5705)

for
<1519>

the man
<435>_,

I sent
<3992> (5656)

straightway
<1824>

to
<4314>

thee
<4571>_,

and gave commandment
<3853> (5660)

to his accusers
<2725>

also
<2532>

to say
<3004> (5721)

before
<1909>

thee
<4675>

what [they had] against
<4314>

him
<846>_.

Farewell
<4517> (5770)_.

23:31

Then
<3767> <3303>

the soldiers
<4757>_,

as
<2596>

it was commanded
<1299> (5772)

them
<846>_,

took
<353> (5631)

Paul
<3972>_,

and brought
<71> (5627)

[him] by
<1223>

night
<3571>

to
<1519>

Antipatris
<494>_.

23:32

<1161>@ On the morrow
<1887>

they left
<1439> (5660)

the horsemen
<2460>

to go
<4198> (5738)

with
<4862>

him
<846>_,

and returned
<5290> (5656)

to
<1519>

the castle
<3925>_:

23:33

Who
<3748>_,

when they came
<1525> (5631)

to
<1519>

Caesarea
<2542>_,

and
<2532>

delivered
<325> (5631)

the epistle
<1992>

to the governor
<2232>_,

presented
<3936> (5656)

Paul
<3972>

also
<2532>

before him
<846>_.

23:34

And
<1161>

when the governor
<2232>

had read
<314> (5631)

[the letter],
<2532>

he asked
<1905> (5660)

of
<1537>

what
<4169>

province
<1885>

he was
<2076> (5748)_.

And
<2532>

when he understood
<4441> (5637)

that
<3754>

[he was] of
<575>

Cilicia
<2791>_;

23:35

I will hear
<1251> (5695)

thee
<4675>_,

said he
<5346> (5713)_,

when
<3752>

thine
<4675>

accusers
<2725>

are
<3854> (0)

also
<2532>

come
<3854> (5638)_.

And
<5037>

he commanded
<2753> (5656)

him
<846>

to be kept
<5442> (5733)

in
<1722>

Herod's
<2264>

judgment hall
<4232>_.
