Acts 23:1-16

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>_.
