Acts 23:1--25:27

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>_.
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>_.
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)_?
And
<1161>
they that stood by
<3936> (5761)
said
<2036> (5627)_,
Revilest thou
<3058> (5719)
God's
<2316>
high priest
<749>_?
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>_.
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)_.
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
And
<1161>
they were
<2258> (5713)
more than
<4119>
forty
<5062>
which
<3588>
had made
<4160> (5761)
this
<5026>
conspiracy
<4945>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_?
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_;
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>_.
And he wrote
<1125> (5660)
a letter
<1992>
after
<4023> (5723)
this
<5126>
manner
<5179>_:
Claudius
<2804>
Lysias
<3079>
unto the most excellent
<2903>
governor
<2232>
Felix
<5344>
[sendeth] greeting
<5463> (5721)_.
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>_.
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>_:
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
<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>_:
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>_.
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>_;
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>_.
And
<1161>
after
<3326>
five
<4002>
days
<2250>
Ananias
<367>
the high priest
<749>
descended
<2597> (5627)
with
<3326>
the elders
<4245>_,
and
<2532>
[with] a certain
<5100>
orator
<4489>
[named] Tertullus
<5061>_,
who
<3748>
informed
<1718> (5656)
the governor
<2232>
against
<2596>
Paul
<3972>_.
And
<1161>
when he
<846>
was called forth
<2564> (5685)_,
Tertullus
<5061>
began
<756> (5662)
to accuse
<2723> (5721)
[him], saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Seeing that by
<1223>
thee
<4675>
we enjoy
<5177> (5723)
great
<4183>
quietness
<1515>_,
and
<2532>
that very worthy deeds
<2735>
are done
<1096> (5740)
unto this
<5129>
nation
<1484>
by
<1223>
thy
<4674>
providence
<4307>_,
<5037>@ We accept
<588> (5736)
[it] always
<3839>_,
and
<2532>
in all places
<3837>_,
most noble
<2903>
Felix
<5344>_,
with
<3326>
all
<3956>
thankfulness
<2169>_.
Notwithstanding
<1161>_,
that
<3363> (0)
I be
<4119> (0)
not
<3363> <1909>
further
<4119>
tedious
<1465> (5725)
unto thee
<4571>_,
I pray
<3870> (5719)
thee
<4571>
that thou wouldest hear
<191> (5658)
us
<2257>
of thy
<4674>
clemency
<1932>
a few words
<4935>_.
For
<1063>
we have found
<2147> (5631)
this
<5126>
man
<435>
[a] pestilent
<3061>
[fellow], and
<2532>
a mover
<2795> (5723)
of sedition
<4714>
among all
<3956>
the Jews
<2453>
throughout
<2596>
the world
<3625>_,
and
<5037>
a ringleader
<4414>
of the sect
<139>
of the Nazarenes
<3480>_:
Who
<3739>
also
<2532>
hath gone about
<3985> (5707)
to profane
<953> (5658)
the temple
<2411>_:

<2532>
whom
<3739>
we took
<2902> (5656)_,
and
<2532>
would
<2309> (5656)
have judged
<2919> (5721)
according
<2596>
to our
<2251>
law
<3551>_.
But
<1161>
the chief captain
<5506>
Lysias
<3079>
came
<3928> (5631)
[upon us], and with
<3326>
great
<4183>
violence
<970>
took [him] away
<520> (5627)
out of
<1537>
our
<2257>
hands
<5495>_,
Commanding
<2753> (5660)
his
<846>
accusers
<2725>
to come
<2064> (5738)
unto
<1909>
thee
<4571>_:
by examining
<350> (5660)
of
<3844>
whom
<3739>
thyself
<846>
mayest
<1410> (5695)
take knowledge
<1921> (5629)
of
<4012>
all
<3956>
these things
<5130>_,
whereof
<3739>
we
<2249>
accuse
<2723> (5719)
him
<846>_.
And
<1161>
the Jews
<2453>
also
<2532>
assented
<4934> (5639)_,
saying
<5335> (5723)
that these things
<5023>
were
<2192> (5721)
so
<3779>_.
Then
<1161>
Paul
<3972>_,
after that the governor
<2232>
had beckoned
<3506> (5660)
unto him
<846>
to speak
<3004> (5721)_,
answered
<611> (5662)_,
Forasmuch as I know
<1987> (5740)
that thou
<4571>
hast been
<5607> (5752)
of
<1537>
many
<4183>
years
<2094>
a judge
<2923>
unto this
<5129>
nation
<1484>_,
I do
<626> (0)
the more cheerfully
<2115>
answer
<626> (5736)
for
<4012>
myself
<1683>_:
Because that thou
<4675>
mayest
<1410> (5740)
understand
<1097> (5629)_,
that
<3754>
there are
<1526> (5748)
yet but
<2228> <3756>
twelve
<1177>
days
<2250> <4119>
since
<575> <3739>
I
<3427>
went up
<305> (5627)
to
<1722>
Jerusalem
<2419>
for to worship
<4352> (5694)_.
And
<2532>
they neither
<3777>
found
<2147> (5627)
me
<3165>
in
<1722>
the temple
<2411>
disputing
<1256> (5740)
with
<4314>
any man
<5100>_,
neither
<2228>
raising up
<1999> (0) <4160> (5723)
the people
<3793> <1999>_,
neither
<3777>
in
<1722>
the synagogues
<4864>_,
nor
<3777>
in
<2596>
the city
<4172>_:
Neither
<3777>
can
<1410> (5736)
they prove
<3936> (5658) <3165>
the things
<4012>
whereof
<3739>
they
<2723> (0)
now
<3568>
accuse
<2723> (5719)
me
<3450>_.
But
<1161>
this
<5124>
I confess
<3670> (5719)
unto thee
<4671>_,
that
<3754>
after
<2596>
the way
<3598>
which
<3739>
they call
<3004> (5719)
heresy
<139>_,
so
<3779>
worship I
<3000> (5719)
the God
<2316>
of my fathers
<3971>_,
believing
<4100> (5723)
all things
<3956>
which
<3588>
are written
<1125> (5772)
in
<2596>
the law
<3551>
and
<2532>
in
<1722>
the prophets
<4396>_:
And have
<2192> (5723)
hope
<1680>
toward
<1519>
God
<2316>_,
which
<3739>
they
<3778>
themselves
<846>
also
<2532>
allow
<4327> (5736)_,
that there shall be
<3195> (5721) <1510> (5705)
a resurrection
<386>
of the dead
<3498>_,
both
<5037>
of the just
<1342>
and
<2532>
unjust
<94>_.
And
<1161>
herein
<1722> <5129>
do I exercise
<778> (5719)
myself
<846>_,
to have
<2192> (5721)
always
<1275>
a conscience
<4893>
void of offence
<677>
toward
<4314>
God
<2316>_,
and
<2532>
[toward] men
<444>_.
Now
<1161>
after
<1223>
many
<4119>
years
<2094>
I came
<3854> (5633)
to bring
<4160> (5694)
alms
<1654>
to
<1519>
my
<3450>
nation
<1484>_,
and
<2532>
offerings
<4376>_.
<1161>@ Whereupon
<1722> <3739>
certain
<5100>
Jews
<2453>
from
<575>
Asia
<773>
found
<2147> (5627)
me
<3165>
purified
<48> (5772)
in
<1722>
the temple
<2411>_,
neither
<3756>
with
<3326>
multitude
<3793>_,
nor
<3761>
with
<3326>
tumult
<2351>_.
Who
<3739>
ought
<1163> (5748) (5625) <1163> (5713)
to have been here
<3918> (5750)
before
<1909>
thee
<4675>_,
and
<2532>
object
<2723> (5721)_,
if
<1536> (0)
they had
<2192> (5722)
ought
<1536>
against
<4314>
me
<3165>_.
Or else
<2228>
let
<2036> (0)
these
<846>
same
<3778>
[here] say
<2036> (5628)_,
if
<1536> (0)
they have found
<2147> (5627)
any
<1536>
evil doing
<92>
in
<1722>
me
<1698>_,
while I
<3450>
stood
<2476> (5631)
before
<1909>
the council
<4892>_,
Except
<2228>
it be for
<4012>
this
<5026>
one
<3391>
voice
<5456>_,
that
<3739>
I cried
<2896> (5656)
standing
<2476> (5761)
among
<1722>
them
<846>_,
Touching
<3754> <4012>
the resurrection
<386>
of the dead
<3498>
I
<1473>
am called in question
<2919> (5743)
by
<5259>
you
<5216>
this day
<4594>_.
And
<1161>
when Felix
<5344>
heard
<191> (5660)
these things
<5023>_,
having more perfect
<197>
knowledge
<1492> (5761)
of
<4012>
[that] way
<3598>_,
he deferred
<306> (5639)
them
<846>_,
and said
<2036> (5631)_,
When
<3752>
Lysias
<3079>
the chief captain
<5506>
shall come down
<2597> (5632)_,
I will know the uttermost
<1231> (5695)
of your
<5209>
matter
<2596>_.
And
<5037>
he commanded
<1299> (5671)
a centurion
<1543>
to keep
<5083> (5745)
Paul
<3972>_,
and
<5037>
to let [him] have
<2192> (5721)
liberty
<425>_,
and
<2532>
that he should forbid
<2967> (5721)
none
<3367>
of his
<846>
acquaintance
<2398>
to minister
<5256> (5721)
or
<2228>
come
<4334> (5738)
unto him
<846>_.
And
<1161>
after
<3326>
certain
<5100>
days
<2250>_,
when Felix
<5344>
came
<3854> (5637)
with
<4862>
his
<846>
wife
<1135>
Drusilla
<1409>_,
which was
<5607> (5752)
a Jewess
<2453>_,
he sent for
<3343> (5662)
Paul
<3972>_,
and
<2532>
heard
<191> (5656)
him
<846>
concerning
<4012>
the faith
<4102>
in
<1519>
Christ
<5547>_.
And
<1161>
as he
<846>
reasoned
<1256> (5740)
of
<4012>
righteousness
<1343>_,
temperance
<2532> <1466>_,
and
<2532>
judgment
<2917>
to come
<3195> (5723) <1510> (5705)_,
Felix
<5344>
trembled
<1096> (5637) <1719>_,
and answered
<611> (5662)_,
Go thy way
<4198> (5737)
for this time
<3568>_;
when
<1161>
I have
<2192> (5723) <3335> (5631)
a convenient season
<2540>_,
I will call for
<3333> (5698)
thee
<4571>_.
He hoped
<1679> (5723)
also
<260> <1161> <2532>
that
<3754>
money
<5536>
should have been given
<1325> (5701)
him
<846>
of
<5259>
Paul
<3972>_,
that
<3704>
he might loose
<3089> (5661)
him
<846>_:
wherefore
<1352>
he sent for
<3343> (5740)
him
<846>
the oftener
<4437>_,
and
<2532>
communed with
<3656> (5707)
him
<846>_.
But
<1161>
after
<4137> (5685)
two years
<1333>
Porcius
<4201>
Festus
<5347>
came
<2983> (5627)
into Felix
<5344>_'
room
<1240>_:
and
<5037>
Felix
<5344>_,
willing
<2309> (5723)
to shew
<2698> (5641)
the Jews
<2453>
a pleasure
<5485>_,
left
<2641> (5627)
Paul
<3972>
bound
<1210> (5772)_.
Now
<3767>
when Festus
<5347>
was come
<1910> (5631)
into the province
<1885>_,
after
<3326>
three
<5140>
days
<2250>
he ascended
<305> (5627)
from
<575>
Caesarea
<2542>
to
<1519>
Jerusalem
<2414>_.
Then
<1161>
the high priest
<749>
and
<2532>
the chief
<4413>
of the Jews
<2453>
informed
<1718> (5656)
him
<846>
against
<2596>
Paul
<3972>_,
and
<2532>
besought
<3870> (5707)
him
<846>_,
And desired
<154> (5734)
favour
<5485>
against
<2596>
him
<846>_,
that
<3704>
he would send for
<3343> (5667)
him
<846>
to
<1519>
Jerusalem
<2419>_,
laying
<4160> (5723)
wait
<1747>
in
<2596>
the way
<3598>
to kill
<337> (5629)
him
<846>_.
But
<3303> <3767>
Festus
<5347>
answered
<611> (5662)_,
that Paul
<3972>
should be kept
<5083> (5745)
at
<1722>
Caesarea
<2542>_,
and
<1161>
that he himself
<1438>
would
<3195> (5721)
depart
<1607> (5738) <1722>
shortly
<5034>
[thither].
Let them therefore
<3767>_,
said
<5346> (5748)
he, which among
<1722>
you
<5213>
are able
<1415>_,
go down with
<4782> (5631)
[me], and accuse
<2723> (5720)
this
<846>
man
<435>_,
if
<1536> (0)
there be
<2076> (5748)
any wickedness
<1536>
in
<1722>
him
<5129>_.
And
<1161>
when he had tarried
<1304> (5660)
among
<1722>
them
<846>
more
<4119>
than
<2228>
ten
<1176>
days
<2250>_,
he went down
<2597> (5631)
unto
<1519>
Caesarea
<2542>_;
and the next day
<1887>
sitting
<2523> (5660)
on
<1909>
the judgment seat
<968>
commanded
<2753> (5656)
Paul
<3972>
to be brought
<71> (5683)_.
{more...: or, as some copies read, no more than eight or ten days}
And
<1161>
when he
<846>
was come
<3854> (5637)_,
the Jews
<2453>
which came down
<2597> (5761)
from
<575>
Jerusalem
<2414>
stood round about
<4026> (5627)_,
and
<2532>
laid
<5342> (5723)
many
<4183>
and grievous
<926>
complaints
<157>
against
<2596>
Paul
<3972>_,
which
<3739>
they could
<2480> (5707)
not
<3756>
prove
<584> (5658)_.
While he answered
<626> (5740)
for himself
<846>_,
Neither
<3754> <3777>
against
<1519>
the law
<3551>
of the Jews
<2453>_,
neither
<3777>
against
<1519>
the temple
<2411>_,
nor yet
<3777>
against
<1519>
Caesar
<2541>_,
have I offended
<264> (5627)
any thing at all
<5100>_.
But
<1161>
Festus
<5347>_,
willing
<2309> (5723)
to do
<2698> (5641)
the Jews
<2453>
a pleasure
<5485>_,
answered
<611> (5679)
Paul
<3972>_,
and said
<2036> (5627)_,
Wilt thou
<2309> (5719)
go up
<305> (5631)
to
<1519>
Jerusalem
<2414>_,
and there
<1563>
be judged
<2919> (5745)
of
<4012>
these things
<5130>
before
<1909>
me
<1700>_?
Then
<1161>
said
<2036> (5627)
Paul
<3972>_,
I stand
<1510> (5748) <2476> (5761)
at
<1909>
Caesar's
<2541>
judgment seat
<968>_,
where
<3757>
I
<3165>
ought
<1163> (5748)
to be judged
<2919> (5745)_:
to the Jews
<2453>
have I done
<91> (0)
no
<3762>
wrong
<91> (5656)_,
as
<5613> <2532>
thou
<4771>
very well
<2566>
knowest
<1921> (5719)_.
For
<1063>
if
<1487> <3303>
I be an offender
<91> (5719)_,
or
<2532>
have committed
<4238> (5758)
any thing
<5100>
worthy
<514>
of death
<2288>_,
I refuse
<3868> (5736)
not
<3756>
to die
<599> (5629)_:
but
<1161>
if
<1487>
there be
<2076> (5748)
none
<3762>
of these things
<3739>
whereof these
<3778>
accuse
<2723> (5719)
me
<3450>_,
no man
<3762>
may
<1410> (5736)
deliver
<5483> (5664)
me
<3165>
unto them
<846>_.
I appeal unto
<1941> (5731)
Caesar
<2541>_.
Then
<5119>
Festus
<5347>_,
when he had conferred
<4814> (5660)
with
<3326>
the council
<4824>_,
answered
<611> (5662)_,
Hast thou appealed unto
<1941> (5764)
Caesar
<2541>_?
unto
<1909>
Caesar
<2541>
shalt thou go
<4198> (5695)_.
And
<1161>
after
<1230> (5637)
certain
<5100>
days
<2250>
king
<935>
Agrippa
<67>
and
<2532>
Bernice
<959>
came
<2658> (5656)
unto
<1519>
Caesarea
<2542>
to salute
<782> (5697)
Festus
<5347>_.
And
<1161>
when
<5613>
they had been
<1304> (5707)
there
<1563>
many
<4119>
days
<2250>_,
Festus
<5347>
declared
<394> (5639)
Paul's
<3972>
cause
<2596>
unto the king
<935>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
There is
<2076> (5748)
a certain
<5100>
man
<435>
left
<2641> (5772)
in bonds
<1198>
by
<5259>
Felix
<5344>_:
About
<4012>
whom
<3739>_,
when
<1096> (0)
I
<3450>
was
<1096> (5637)
at
<1519>
Jerusalem
<2414>_,
the chief priests
<749>
and
<2532>
the elders
<4245>
of the Jews
<2453>
informed
<1718> (5656)
[me], desiring
<154> (5734)
[to have] judgment
<1349>
against
<2596>
him
<846>_.
To
<4314>
whom
<3739>
I answered
<611> (5662)_,

<3754>
It is
<2076> (5748)
not
<3756>
the manner
<1485>
of the Romans
<4514>
to deliver
<5483> (5738)
any
<5100>
man
<444>
to
<1519>
die
<684>_,
before
<4250>
that
<2228>
he which is accused
<2723> (5746)
have
<2192> (5722)
the accusers
<2725>
face to face
<2596> <4383>_,

<5037>
and have
<2983> (5630)
licence
<5117>
to answer for himself
<627>
concerning
<4012>
the crime laid against him
<1462>_.
Therefore
<3767>_,
when they
<846>
were come
<4905> (5631)
hither
<1759>_,
without
<4160> (5671)
any
<3367>
delay
<311>
on the morrow
<1836>
I sat
<2523> (5660)
on
<1909>
the judgment seat
<968>_,
and commanded
<2753> (5656)
the man
<435>
to be brought forth
<71> (5683)_.
Against
<4012>
whom
<3739>
when the accusers
<2725>
stood up
<2476> (5685)_,
they brought
<2018> (5707)
none
<3762>
accusation
<156>
of such things as
<3739>
I
<1473>
supposed
<5282> (5707)_:
But
<1161>
had
<2192> (5707)
certain
<5100>
questions
<2213>
against
<4314>
him
<846>
of
<4012>
their own
<2398>
superstition
<1175>_,
and
<2532>
of
<4012>
one
<5100>
Jesus
<2424>_,
which was dead
<2348> (5761)_,
whom
<3739>
Paul
<3972>
affirmed
<5335> (5707)
to be alive
<2198> (5721)_.
And
<1161>
because I
<1473>
doubted
<639> (5734)
of
<1519>
such
<5127>
manner
<4012>
of questions
<2214>_,
I asked
<3004> (5707)
[him] whether
<1487>
he would
<1014> (5739)
go
<4198> (5738)
to
<1519>
Jerusalem
<2419>_,
and there
<2546>
be judged
<2919> (5745)
of
<4012>
these matters
<5130>_.
{I doubted...: or, I was doubtful how to enquire hereof}
But
<1161>
when Paul
<3972>
had appealed
<1941> (5671)
to be reserved
<5083> (5683) <846>
unto
<1519>
the hearing
<1233>
of Augustus
<4575>_,
I commanded
<2753> (5656)
him
<846>
to be kept
<5083> (5745)
till
<2193> <3757>
I might send
<3992> (5661)
him
<846>
to
<4314>
Caesar
<2541>_.
{hearing: or, judgment}
Then
<1161>
Agrippa
<67>
said
<5346> (5713)
unto
<4314>
Festus
<5347>_,
I would
<1014> (5711)
also
<2532>
hear
<191> (5658)
the man
<444>
myself
<846>_.
To morrow
<839>_,

<1161>
said
<5346> (5748)
he, thou shalt hear
<191> (5695)
him
<846>_.
And on the morrow
<1887>_,
when
<3767>
Agrippa
<67>
was come
<2064> (5631)_,
and
<2532>
Bernice
<959>_,
with
<3326>
great
<4183>
pomp
<5325>_,
and
<2532>
was entered
<1525> (5631)
into
<1519>
the place of hearing
<201>_,
with
<4862> <5037>
the chief captains
<5506>_,
and
<2532>
principal
<2596> <1851>
men
<435>
of
<5607> (5752)
the city
<4172>_,
at
<2532>
Festus
<5347>_'
commandment
<2753> (5660)
Paul
<3972>
was brought forth
<71> (5681)_.
And
<2532>
Festus
<5347>
said
<5346> (5748)_,
King
<935>
Agrippa
<67>_,
and
<2532>
all
<3956>
men
<435>
which
<3588>
are here present
<4840> (5752)
with us
<2254>_,
ye see
<2334> (5719) (5720)
this man
<5126>_,
about
<4012>
whom
<3739>
all
<3956>
the multitude
<4128>
of the Jews
<2453>
have dealt
<1793> (5627)
with me
<3427>_,
both
<5037>
at
<1722>
Jerusalem
<2414>_,
and
<2532>
[also] here
<1759>_,
crying
<1916> (5723)
that he ought
<1163> (5750)
not
<3361>
to live
<2198> (5721)
any longer
<3371>_.
But
<1161>
when I
<1473>
found
<2638> (5642)
that he
<846>
had committed
<4238> (5760)
nothing
<3367>
worthy
<514>
of death
<2288>_,
and
<2532> <1161>
that he himself
<846>
hath appealed
<5127>
to
<1941> (5671)
Augustus
<4575>_,
I have determined
<2919> (5656)
to send
<3992> (5721)
him
<846>_.
Of
<4012>
whom
<3739>
I have
<2192> (5719)
no
<3756>
certain
<804>
thing
<5100>
to write
<1125> (5658)
unto my lord
<2962>_.
Wherefore
<1352>
I have brought
<4254> (0)
him
<846>
forth
<4254> (5627)
before
<1909>
you
<5216>_,
and
<2532>
specially
<3122>
before
<1909>
thee
<4675>_,
O king
<935>
Agrippa
<67>_,
that
<3704>_,
after examination
<351>
had
<1096> (5637)_,
I might have
<2192> (5632)
somewhat
<5100>
to write
<1125> (5658)_.
For
<1063>
it seemeth
<1380> (5719)
to me
<3427>
unreasonable
<249>
to send
<3992> (5723)
a prisoner
<1198>_,
and
<2532>
not withal
<3361>
to signify
<4591> (5658)
the crimes
<156>
[laid] against
<2596>
him
<846>_.
