Acts 21:27--23:30

21:27

And
<1161>

when
<5613>

the seven
<2033>

days
<2250>

were almost
<3195> (5707)

ended
<4931> (5745)_,

the Jews
<2453>

which were of
<575>

Asia
<773>_,

when they saw
<2300> (5666)

him
<846>

in
<1722>

the temple
<2411>_,

stirred up
<4797> (5707)

all
<3956>

the people
<3793>_,

and
<2532>

laid
<1911> (5627)

hands
<5495>

on
<1909>

him
<846>_,

21:28

Crying out
<2896> (5723)_,

Men
<435>

of Israel
<2475>_,

help
<997> (5720)_:

This
<3778>

is
<2076> (5748)

the man
<444>_,

that teacheth
<1321> (5723)

all
<3956>

[men] every where
<3837>

against
<2596>

the people
<2992>_,

and
<2532>

the law
<3551>_,

and
<2532>

this
<5126>

place
<5117>_:

and
<5037>

further
<2089>

brought
<1521> (5627)

Greeks
<1672>

also
<2532>

into
<1519>

the temple
<2411>_,

and
<2532>

hath polluted
<2840> (5758)

this
<5127>

holy
<40>

place
<5117>_.

21:29

(For
<1063>

they had
<2258> (5713)

seen before
<4308> (5761)

with
<4862>

him
<846>

in
<1722>

the city
<4172>

Trophimus
<5161>

an Ephesian
<2180>_,

whom
<3739>

they supposed
<3543> (5707)

that
<3754>

Paul
<3972>

had brought
<1521> (5627)

into
<1519>

the temple
<2411>.)

21:30

And
<5037>

all
<3650>

the city
<4172>

was moved
<2795> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

the people
<2992>

ran together
<1096> (5633) <4890>_:

and
<2532>

they took
<1949> (5637)

Paul
<3972>_,

and drew
<1670> (5707)

him
<846>

out of
<1854>

the temple
<2411>_:

and
<2532>

forthwith
<2112>

the doors
<2374>

were shut
<2808> (5681)_.

21:31

And
<1161>

as they went about
<2212> (5723)

to kill
<615> (5658)

him
<846>_,

tidings
<5334>

came
<305> (5627)

unto the chief captain
<5506>

of the band
<4686>_,

that
<3754>

all
<3650>

Jerusalem
<2419>

was in an uproar
<4797> (5769)_.

21:32

Who
<3739>

immediately
<1824>

took
<3880> (5631)

soldiers
<4757>

and
<2532>

centurions
<1543>_,

and ran down
<2701> (5627)

unto
<1909>

them
<846>_:

and
<1161>

when they saw
<1492> (5631)

the chief captain
<5506>

and
<2532>

the soldiers
<4757>_,

they left
<3973> (5668)

beating
<5180> (5723)

of Paul
<3972>_.

21:33

Then
<5119>

the chief captain
<5506>

came near
<1448> (5660)_,

and took
<1949> (5633)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

commanded
<2753> (5656)

[him] to be bound with
<1210> (5683)

two
<1417>

chains
<254>_;

and
<2532>

demanded
<4441> (5711)

who
<5101>

he was
<302> <1498> (5751)_,

and
<2532>

what
<5101>

he had
<2076> (5748)

done
<4160> (5761)_.

21:34

And
<1161>

some
<243>

cried
<994> (5707)

one thing
<5100>_,

some another
<243>_,

among
<1722>

the multitude
<3793>_:

and
<1161>

when he could
<1410> (5740)

not
<3361>

know
<1097> (5629)

the certainty
<804>

for
<1223>

the tumult
<2351>_,

he commanded
<2753> (5656)

him
<846>

to be carried
<71> (5745)

into
<1519>

the castle
<3925>_.

21:35

And
<1161>

when
<3753>

he came
<1096> (5633)

upon
<1909>

the stairs
<304>_,

so it was
<4819> (5627)_,

that he was borne
<941> (5745)

of
<5259>

the soldiers
<4757>

for
<1223>

the violence
<970>

of the people
<3793>_.

21:36

For
<1063>

the multitude
<4128>

of the people
<2992>

followed after
<190> (5707)_,

crying
<2896> (5723)_,

Away
<142> (5720)

with him
<846>_.

21:37

And
<5037>

as Paul
<3972>

was to be
<3195> (5723)

led
<1521> (5745)

into
<1519>

the castle
<3925>_,

he said
<3004> (5719)

unto the chief captain
<5506>_,

May
<1487> <1832> (5748)

I
<3427>

speak
<2036> (5629) <5100>

unto
<4314>

thee
<4571>_?

<1161>

Who
<3588>

said
<5346> (5713)_,

Canst thou speak
<1097> (5719)

Greek
<1676>_?

21:38

Art
<1488> (5748)

not
<3756>

thou
<4771> <686>

that Egyptian
<124>_,

which before
<4253>

these
<5130>

days
<2250>

madest an uproar
<387> (5660)_,

and
<2532>

leddest out
<1806> (5631)

into
<1519>

the wilderness
<2048>

four thousand
<5070>

men
<435>

that were murderers
<4607>_?

21:39

But
<1161>

Paul
<3972>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748) <3303>

a man
<444>

[which am] a Jew
<2453>

of Tarsus
<5018>_,

[a city] in Cilicia
<2791>_,

a citizen
<4177>

of no
<3756>

mean
<767>

city
<4172>_:

and
<1161>_,

I beseech
<1189> (5736)

thee
<4675>_,

suffer
<2010> (5657)

me
<3427>

to speak
<2980> (5658)

unto
<4314>

the people
<2992>_.

21:40

And
<1161>

when he had given
<2010> (0)

him
<846>

licence
<2010> (5660)_,

Paul
<3972>

stood
<2476> (5761)

on
<1909>

the stairs
<304>_,

and beckoned
<2678> (5656)

with the hand
<5495>

unto the people
<2992>_.

And
<1161>

when there was made
<1096> (5637)

a great
<4183>

silence
<4602>_,

he spake
<4377> (5656)

unto [them] in the Hebrew
<1446>

tongue
<1258>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

22:1

Men
<435>_,

brethren
<80>_,

and
<2532>

fathers
<3962>_,

hear ye
<191> (5657)

my
<3450>

defence
<627>

[which I make] now
<3568>

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_.

22:2

(And
<1161>

when they heard
<191> (5660)

that
<3754>

he spake
<4377> (5707)

in the Hebrew
<1446>

tongue
<1258>

to them
<846>_,

they kept
<3930> (5627)

the more
<3123>

silence
<2271>_:

and
<2532>

he saith
<5346> (5748),)

22:3

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748)

verily
<3303>

a man
<435>

[which am] a Jew
<2453>_,

born
<1080> (5772)

in
<1722>

Tarsus
<5019>_,

[a city] in Cilicia
<2791>_,

yet
<1161>

brought up
<397> (5772)

in
<1722>

this
<5026>

city
<4172>

at
<3844>

the feet
<4228>

of Gamaliel
<1059>_,

[and] taught
<3811> (5772)

according
<2596>

to the perfect manner
<195>

of the law
<3551>

of the fathers
<3971>_,

and was
<5225> (5723)

zealous
<2207>

toward God
<2316>_,

as
<2531>

ye
<5210>

all
<3956>

are
<2075> (5748)

this day
<4594>_.

22:4

And I
<3739>

persecuted
<1377> (5656)

this
<5026>

way
<3598>

unto
<891>

the death
<2288>_,

binding
<1195> (5723)

and
<2532>

delivering
<3860> (5723)

into
<1519>

prisons
<5438>

both
<5037>

men
<435>

and
<2532>

women
<1135>_.

22:5

As
<5613>

also
<2532>

the high priest
<749>

doth bear
<3140> (0)

me
<3427>

witness
<3140> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

the estate of the elders
<4244>_:

from
<3844>

whom
<3739>

also
<2532>

I received
<1209> (5666)

letters
<1992>

unto
<4314>

the brethren
<80>_,

and
<2532>

went
<4198> (5711)

to
<1519>

Damascus
<1154>_,

to bring
<71> (5694)

them which were
<5607> (5752)

there
<1566>

bound
<1210> (5772)

unto
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

for to
<2443>

be punished
<5097> (5686)_.

22:6

And
<1161>

it came to pass
<1096> (5633)_,

that, as I made
<4198> (0)

my
<3427>

journey
<4198> (5740)_,

and
<2532>

was come nigh
<1448> (5723)

unto Damascus
<1154>

about
<4012>

noon
<3314>_,

suddenly
<1810>

there shone
<4015> (0)

from
<1537>

heaven
<3772>

a great
<2425>

light
<5457>

round
<4015> (5658)

about
<4012>

me
<1691>_.

22:7

And
<5037>

I fell
<4098> (5627)

unto
<1519>

the ground
<1475>_,

and
<2532>

heard
<191> (5656)

a voice
<5456>

saying
<3004> (5723)

unto me
<3427>_,

Saul
<4549>_,

why
<5101>

persecutest thou
<1377> (5719)

me
<3165>_?

22:8

And
<1161>

I
<1473>

answered
<611> (5662)_,

Who
<5101>

art thou
<1488> (5748)_,

Lord
<2962>_?

And
<5037>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

me
<3165>_,

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748)

Jesus
<2424>

of Nazareth
<3480>_,

whom
<3739>

thou
<4771>

persecutest
<1377> (5719)_.

22:9

And
<1161>

they that were
<5607> (5752)

with
<4862>

me
<1698>

saw
<2300> (5662)

indeed
<3303>

the light
<5457>_,

and
<2532>

were
<1096> (5633)

afraid
<1719>_;

but
<1161>

they heard
<191> (5656)

not
<3756>

the voice
<5456>

of him that spake
<2980> (5723)

to me
<3427>_.

22:10

And
<1161>

I said
<2036> (5627)_,

What
<5101>

shall I do
<4160> (5661)_,

Lord
<2962>_?

And
<1161>

the Lord
<2962>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

me
<3165>_,

Arise
<450> (5631)_,

and go
<4198> (5737)

into
<1519>

Damascus
<1154>_;

and there
<2546>

it shall be told
<2980> (5701)

thee
<4671>

of
<4012>

all things
<3956>

which
<3739>

are appointed
<5021> (5769)

for thee
<4671>

to do
<4160> (5658)_.

22:11

And
<1161>

when
<5613>

I could
<1689> (0)

not
<3756>

see
<1689> (5707)

for
<575>

the glory
<1391>

of that
<1565>

light
<5457>_,

being led by the hand
<5496> (5746)

of
<5259>

them that were
<4895> (5752)

with me
<3427>_,

I came
<2064> (5627)

into
<1519>

Damascus
<1154>_.

22:12

And
<1161>

one
<5100>

Ananias
<367>_,

a devout
<2152>

man
<435>

according
<2596>

to the law
<3551>_,

having a good report
<3140> (5746)

of
<5259>

all
<3956>

the Jews
<2453>

which dwelt
<2730> (5723)

[there],

22:13

Came
<2064> (5631)

unto
<4314>

me
<3165>_,

and
<2532>

stood
<2186> (5631)_,

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto me
<3427>_,

Brother
<80>

Saul
<4549>_,

receive thy sight
<308> (5657)_.

And
<2504> (0)

the same
<846>

hour
<5610>

I
<2504>

looked up
<308> (5656)

upon
<1519>

him
<846>_.

22:14

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

The God
<2316>

of our
<2257>

fathers
<3962>

hath chosen
<4400> (5662)

thee
<4571>_,

that thou shouldest know
<1097> (5629)

his
<846>

will
<2307>_,

and
<2532>

see
<1492> (5629)

that Just One
<1342>_,

and
<2532>

shouldest hear
<191> (5658)

the voice
<5456>

of
<1537>

his
<846>

mouth
<4750>_.

22:15

For
<3754>

thou shalt be
<2071> (5704)

his
<846>

witness
<3144>

unto
<4314>

all
<3956>

men
<444>

of what
<3739>

thou hast seen
<3708> (5758)

and
<2532>

heard
<191> (5656)_.

22:16

And
<2532>

now
<3568>

why
<5101>

tarriest thou
<3195> (5719)_?

arise
<450> (5631)_,

and be baptized
<907> (5669)_,

and
<2532>

wash away
<628> (5669)

thy
<4675>

sins
<266>_,

calling on
<1941> (5671)

the name
<3686>

of the Lord
<2962>_.

22:17

And
<1161>

it came to pass
<1096> (5633)_,

that, when I
<3427>

was come again
<5290> (5660)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

even
<2532>

while I
<3450>

prayed
<4336> (5740)

in
<1722>

the temple
<2411>_,

I
<3165>

was
<1096> (5635)

in
<1722>

a trance
<1611>_;

22:18

And
<2532>

saw
<1492> (5629)

him
<846>

saying
<3004> (5723)

unto me
<3427>_,

Make haste
<4692> (5657)_,

and
<2532>

get thee
<1831> (5628)

quickly
<5034> <1722>

out of
<1537>

Jerusalem
<2419>_:

for
<1360>

they will
<3858> (0)

not
<3756>

receive
<3858> (5699)

thy
<4675>

testimony
<3141>

concerning
<4012>

me
<1700>_.

22:19

And I
<2504>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Lord
<2962>_,

they
<846>

know
<1987> (5736)

that
<3754>

I
<1473>

imprisoned
<2252> (5713) <5439> (5723)

and
<2532>

beat
<1194> (5723)

in every
<2596>

synagogue
<4864>

them that believed
<4100> (5723)

on
<1909>

thee
<4571>_:

22:20

And
<2532>

when
<3753>

the blood
<129>

of thy
<4675>

martyr
<3144>

Stephen
<4736>

was shed
<1632> (5712)_,

I
<846>

also
<2532>

was
<2252> (5713)

standing by
<2186> (5761)_,

and
<2532>

consenting
<4909> (5723)

unto his
<846>

death
<336>_,

and
<2532>

kept
<5442> (5723)

the raiment
<2440>

of them that slew
<337> (5723)

him
<846>_.

22:21

And
<2532>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

me
<3165>_,

Depart
<4198> (5737)_:

for
<3754>

I
<1473>

will send
<1821> (5692)

thee
<4571>

far hence
<3112>

unto
<1519>

the Gentiles
<1484>_.

22:22

And
<1161>

they gave
<191> (0)

him
<846>

audience
<191> (5707)

unto
<891>

this
<5127>

word
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

[then] lifted up
<1869> (5656)

their
<846>

voices
<5456>_,

and said
<3004> (5723)_,

Away with
<142> (5720)

such
<5108>

a [fellow] from
<575>

the earth
<1093>_:

for
<1063>

it is
<2520> (0)

not
<3756>

fit
<2520> (5723)

that he
<846>

should live
<2198> (5721)_.

22:23

And
<1161>

as they
<846>

cried out
<2905> (5723)_,

and
<2532>

cast off
<4495> (5723)

[their] clothes
<2440>_,

and
<2532>

threw
<906> (5723)

dust
<2868>

into
<1519>

the air
<109>_,

22:24

The chief captain
<5506>

commanded
<2753> (5656)

him
<846>

to be brought
<71> (5745)

into
<1519>

the castle
<3925>_,

and bade
<2036> (5631)

that he
<846>

should be examined
<426> (5745)

by scourging
<3148>_;

that
<2443>

he might know
<1921> (5632)

wherefore
<1223> <3739> <156>

they cried
<2019> (0)

so
<3779>

against
<2019> (5707)

him
<846>_.

22:25

And
<1161>

as
<5613>

they bound
<4385> (5656) (5625) <4385> (5656)

him
<846>

with thongs
<2438>_,

Paul
<3972>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

the centurion
<1543>

that stood by
<2476> (5761)_,

Is it lawful
<1487> <1832> (5748)

for you
<5213>

to scourge
<3147> (5721)

a man
<444>

that is a Roman
<4514>_,

and
<2532>

uncondemned
<178>_?

22:26

When
<1161>

the centurion
<1543>

heard
<191> (5660)

[that], he went
<4334> (5631)

and told
<518> (5656)

the chief captain
<5506>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Take heed
<3708> (5720)

what
<5101>

thou doest
<3195> (5719) <4160> (5721)_:

for
<1063>

this
<3778>

man
<444>

is
<2076> (5748)

a Roman
<4514>_.

22:27

Then
<1161>

the chief captain
<5506>

came
<4334> (5631)_,

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Tell
<3004> (5720)

me
<3427>_,

<1487>

art
<1488> (5748)

thou
<4771>

a Roman
<4514>_?

<1161>

He said
<5346> (5713)_,

Yea
<3483>_.

22:28

And
<5037>

the chief captain
<5506>

answered
<611> (5662)_,

With a great
<4183>

sum
<2774>

obtained
<2932> (5662)

I
<1473>

this
<5026>

freedom
<4174>_.

And
<1161>

Paul
<3972>

said
<5346> (5713)_,

But
<1161>

I
<1473> <2532>

was [free] born
<1080> (5769)_.

22:29

Then
<3767>

straightway
<2112>

they departed
<868> (5627)

from
<575>

him
<846>

which
<3588>

should
<3195> (5723)

have examined
<426> (5721)

him
<846>_:

and
<1161>

the chief captain
<5506>

also
<2532>

was afraid
<5399> (5675)_,

after he knew
<1921> (5631)

that
<3754>

he was
<2076> (5748)

a Roman
<4514>_,

and
<2532>

because
<3754>

he had
<2258> (5713)

bound
<1210> (5761)

him
<846>_.

{examined him: or, tortured him}

22:30

<1161>@ On the morrow
<1887>_,

because he would
<1014> (5740)

have known
<1097> (5629)

the certainty
<804>

wherefore
<5101>

he was accused
<2723> (5743)

of
<3844>

the Jews
<2453>_,

he loosed
<3089> (5656)

him
<846>

from
<575>

[his] bands
<1199>_,

and
<2532>

commanded
<2753> (5656)

the chief priests
<749>

and
<2532>

all
<3650>

their
<846>

council
<4892>

to appear
<2064> (5629)_,

and
<2532>

brought
<2609> (0)

Paul
<3972>

down
<2609> (5631)_,

and set him
<2476> (5656)

before
<1519>

them
<846>_.

23:1

And
<1161>

Paul
<3972>_,

earnestly beholding
<816> (5660)

the council
<4892>_,

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Men
<435>

[and] brethren
<80>_,

I
<1473>

have lived
<4176> (5769)

in all
<3956>

good
<18>

conscience
<4893>

before God
<2316>

until
<891>

this
<5026>

day
<2250>_.

23:2

And
<1161>

the high priest
<749>

Ananias
<367>

commanded
<2004> (5656)

them that stood by
<3936> (5761)

him
<846>

to smite
<5180> (5721)

him
<846>

on the mouth
<4750>_.

23:3

Then
<5119>

said
<2036> (5627)

Paul
<3972>

unto
<4314>

him
<846>_,

God
<2316>

shall
<3195> (5719)

smite
<5180> (5721)

thee
<4571>_,

[thou] whited
<2867> (5772)

wall
<5109>_:

for
<2532>

sittest
<2521> (5736)

thou
<4771>

to judge
<2919> (5723)

me
<3165>

after
<2596>

the law
<3551>_,

and
<2532>

commandest
<2753> (5719)

me
<3165>

to be smitten
<5180> (5745)

contrary to the law
<3891> (5723)_?

23:4

And
<1161>

they that stood by
<3936> (5761)

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Revilest thou
<3058> (5719)

God's
<2316>

high priest
<749>_?

23:5

Then
<5037>

said
<5346> (5713)

Paul
<3972>_,

I wist
<1492> (5715)

not
<3756>_,

brethren
<80>_,

that
<3754>

he was
<2076> (5748)

the high priest
<749>_:

for
<1063>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

Thou shalt
<2046> (0)

not
<3756>

speak
<2046> (5692)

evil
<2560>

of the ruler
<758>

of thy
<4675>

people
<2992>_.

23:6

But
<1161>

when Paul
<3972>

perceived
<1097> (5631)

that
<3754>

the one
<1520>

part
<3313>

were
<2076> (5748)

Sadducees
<4523>_,

and
<1161>

the other
<2087>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

he cried out
<2896> (5656)

in
<1722>

the council
<4892>_,

Men
<435>

[and] brethren
<80>_,

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748)

a Pharisee
<5330>_,

the son
<5207>

of a Pharisee
<5330>_:

of
<4012>

the hope
<1680>

and
<2532>

resurrection
<386>

of the dead
<3498>

I
<1473>

am called in question
<2919> (5743)_.

23:7

And
<1161>

when he
<846>

had
<2980> (0)

so
<5124>

said
<2980> (5660)_,

there arose
<1096> (5633)

a dissension
<4714>

between the Pharisees
<5330>

and
<2532>

the Sadducees
<4523>_:

and
<2532>

the multitude
<4128>

was divided
<4977> (5681)_.

23:8

For
<1063> <3303>

the Sadducees
<4523>

say
<3004> (5719)

that there is
<1511> (5750)

no
<3361>

resurrection
<386>_,

neither
<3366>

angel
<32>_,

nor
<3383>

spirit
<4151>_:

but
<1161>

the Pharisees
<5330>

confess
<3670> (5719)

both
<297>_.

23:9

And
<1161>

there arose
<1096> (5633)

a great
<3173>

cry
<2906>_:

and
<2532>

the scribes
<1122>

[that were] of the Pharisees
<5330>_'

part
<3313>

arose
<450> (5631)_,

and strove
<1264> (5711)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

We find
<2147> (5719)

no
<3762>

evil
<2556>

in
<1722>

this
<5129>

man
<444>_:

but
<1161>

if
<1487>

a spirit
<4151>

or
<2228>

an angel
<32>

hath spoken
<2980> (5656)

to him
<846>_,

let us
<2313> (0)

not
<3361>

fight
<2313> (5725)

against God.

23:10

And
<1161>

when there arose
<1096> (5637)

a great
<4183>

dissension
<4714>_,

the chief captain
<5506>_,

fearing
<2125> (5685)

lest
<3361>

Paul
<3972>

should have been pulled in pieces
<1288> (5686)

of
<5259>

them
<846>_,

commanded
<2753> (5656)

the soldiers
<4753>

to go down
<2597> (5631)_,

and to take
<726> (0)

him
<846>

by force
<726> (5658)

from
<1537>

among
<3319>

them
<846>_,

and
<5037>

to bring
<71> (5721)

[him] into
<1519>

the castle
<3925>_.

23:11

And
<1161>

the night
<3571>

following
<1966> (5752)

the Lord
<2962>

stood by
<2186> (5631)

him
<846>_,

and said
<2036> (5627)_,

Be of good cheer
<2293> (5720)_,

Paul
<3972>_:

for
<1063>

as
<5613>

thou hast testified
<1263> (5662)

of
<4012>

me
<1700>

in
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

so
<3779>

must
<1163> (5748)

thou
<4571>

bear witness
<3140> (5658)

also
<2532>

at
<1519>

Rome
<4516>_.

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)_.
