Acts 24:1--26:32

24:1

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>_.

24:2

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>_,

24:3

<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>_.

24:4

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>_.

24:5

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>_:

24:6

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>_.

24:7

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>_,

24:8

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>_.

24:9

And
<1161>

the Jews
<2453>

also
<2532>

assented
<4934> (5639)_,

saying
<5335> (5723)

that these things
<5023>

were
<2192> (5721)

so
<3779>_.

24:10

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>_:

24:11

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)_.

24:12

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>_:

24:13

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>_.

24:14

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>_:

24:15

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>_.

24:16

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>_.

24:17

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>_.

24:18

<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>_.

24:19

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>_.

24:20

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>_,

24:21

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>_.

24:22

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>_.

24:23

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>_.

24:24

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>_.

24:25

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>_.

24:26

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>_.

24:27

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)_.

25:1

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>_.

25:2

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>_,

25:3

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>_.

25:4

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].

25:5

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>_.

25:6

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}

25:7

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)_.

25:8

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>_.

25:9

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>_?

25:10

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)_.

25:11

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>_.

25:12

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)_.

25:13

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>_.

25:14

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>_:

25:15

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>_.

25:16

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>_.

25:17

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)_.

25:18

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)_:

25:19

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)_.

25:20

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}

25:21

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}

25:22

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>_.

25:23

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)_.

25:24

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>_.

25:25

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>_.

25:26

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)_.

25:27

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>_.

26:1

Then
<1161>

Agrippa
<67>

said
<5346> (5713)

unto
<4314>

Paul
<3972>_,

Thou
<4671>

art permitted
<2010> (5743)

to speak
<3004> (5721)

for
<5228>

thyself
<4572>_.

Then
<5119>

Paul
<3972>

stretched forth
<1614> (5660)

the hand
<5495>_,

and answered for himself
<626> (5711)_:

26:2

I think
<2233> (5766)

myself
<1683>

happy
<3107>_,

king
<935>

Agrippa
<67>_,

because I shall
<3195> (5723)

answer for myself
<626> (5738)

this day
<4594>

before
<1909>

thee
<4675>

touching
<4012>

all the things
<3956>

whereof
<3739>

I am accused
<1458> (5743)

of
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>_:

26:3

Especially
<3122>

[because I know
<1492> (5761)_]

thee
<4571>

to be
<5607> (5752)

expert
<1109> <5037>

in all
<3956>

customs
<1485>

and
<2532>

questions
<2213>

which are among
<2596>

the Jews
<2453>_:

wherefore
<1352>

I beseech
<1189> (5736)

thee
<4675>

to hear
<191> (5658)

me
<3450>

patiently
<3116>_.

26:4

My
<3450>

manner
<3303> <3767>

of life
<981>

from
<1537>

my youth
<3503>_,

which
<3588>

was
<1096> (5637)

at
<575>

the first
<746>

among
<1722>

mine
<3450>

own nation
<1484>

at
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2414>_,

know
<2467> (5758)

all
<3956>

the Jews
<2453>_;

26:5

Which knew
<4267> (5723)

me
<3165>

from the beginning
<509>_,

if
<1437>

they would
<2309> (5725)

testify
<3140> (5721)_,

that
<3754>

after
<2596>

the most straitest
<196>

sect
<139>

of our
<2251>

religion
<2356>

I lived
<2198> (5656)

a Pharisee
<5330>_.

26:6

And
<2532>

now
<3568>

I stand
<2476> (5758)

and am judged
<2919> (5746)

for
<1909>

the hope
<1680>

of the promise
<1860>

made
<1096> (5637)

of
<5259>

God
<2316>

unto
<4314>

our fathers
<3962>_:

26:7

Unto
<1519>

which
<3739>

[promise] our
<2257>

twelve tribes
<1429>_,

instantly
<1722> <1616>

serving
<3000> (5723)

[God] day
<2250>

and
<2532>

night
<3571>_,

hope
<1679> (5719)

to come
<2658> (5658)_.

For
<4012>

which
<3739>

hope's sake
<1680>_,

king
<935>

Agrippa
<67>_,

I am accused
<1458> (5743)

of
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>_.

{day and night: Gr. night and day}

26:8

Why
<5101>

should it be thought a thing
<2919> (5743)

incredible
<571>

with
<3844>

you
<5213>_,

that
<1487>

God
<2316>

should raise
<1453> (5719)

the dead
<3498>_?

26:9

I
<1473>

verily
<3303> <3767>

thought
<1380> (5656)

with myself
<1683>_,

that I ought
<1163> (5750)

to do
<4238> (5658)

many things
<4183>

contrary
<1727>

to
<4314>

the name
<3686>

of Jesus
<2424>

of Nazareth
<3480>_.

26:10

Which thing
<3739>

I
<4160> (0)

also
<2532>

did
<4160> (5656)

in
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2414>_:

and
<2532>

many
<4183>

of the saints
<40>

did
<2623> (0)

I
<1473>

shut up
<2623> (5656)

in prison
<5438>_,

having received
<2983> (5631)

authority
<1849>

from
<3844>

the chief priests
<749>_;

and
<5037>

when they
<846>

were put to death
<337> (5746)_,

I gave
<2702> (5656)

my voice
<5586>

against [them].

26:11

And
<2532>

I punished
<5097> (5723)

them
<846>

oft
<4178>

in
<2596>

every
<3956>

synagogue
<4864>_,

and compelled
<315> (5707)

[them] to blaspheme
<987> (5721)_;

and
<5037>

being
<1693> (0)

exceedingly
<4057>

mad against
<1693> (5740)

them
<846>_,

I persecuted
<1377> (5707)

[them] even
<2532>

unto
<1519> <2193>

strange
<1854>

cities
<4172>_.

26:12

<2532>@ Whereupon
<1722> <3739>

as I went
<4198> (5740)

to
<1519>

Damascus
<1154>

with
<3326>

authority
<1849>

and
<2532>

commission
<2011>

from
<3844>

the chief priests
<749>_,

26:13

At midday
<2250> <3319>_,

O king
<935>_,

I saw
<1492> (5627)

in
<2596>

the way
<3598>

a light
<5457>

from heaven
<3771>_,

above
<5228>

the brightness
<2987>

of the sun
<2246>_,

shining round about
<4034> (5660)

me
<3165>

and
<2532>

them which journeyed
<4198> (5740)

with
<4862>

me
<1698>_.

26:14

And
<1161>

when we
<2257>

were
<2667> (0)

all
<3956>

fallen
<2667> (5631)

to
<1519>

the earth
<1093>_,

I heard
<191> (5656)

a voice
<5456>

speaking
<2980> (5723)

unto
<4314>

me
<3165>_,

and
<2532>

saying
<3004> (5723)

in the Hebrew
<1446>

tongue
<1258>_,

Saul
<4549>_,

why
<5101>

persecutest thou
<1377> (5719)

me
<3165>_?

[it is] hard
<4642>

for thee
<4671>

to kick
<2979> (5721)

against
<4314>

the pricks
<2759>_.

26:15

And
<1161>

I
<1473>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Who
<5101>

art thou
<1488> (5748)_,

Lord
<2962>_?

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748)

Jesus
<2424>

whom
<3739>

thou
<4771>

persecutest
<1377> (5719)_.

26:16

But
<235>

rise
<450> (5628)_,

and
<2532>

stand
<2476> (5628)

upon
<1909>

thy
<4675>

feet
<4228>_:

for
<1063>

I have appeared
<3700> (5681)

unto thee
<4671>

for
<1519>

this purpose
<5124>_,

to make
<4400> (5664)

thee
<4571>

a minister
<5257>

and
<2532>

a witness
<3144>

both
<5037>

of these things which
<3739>

thou hast seen
<1492> (5627)_,

and
<5037>

of those things in the which
<3739>

I will appear
<3700> (5701)

unto thee
<4671>_;

26:17

Delivering
<1807> (5734)

thee
<4571>

from
<1537>

the people
<2992>_,

and
<2532>

[from] the Gentiles
<1484>_,

unto
<1519>

whom
<3739>

now
<3568>

I send
<649> (5719)

thee
<4571>_,

26:18

To open
<455> (5658)

their
<846>

eyes
<3788>_,

[and] to turn
<1994> (5658)

[them] from
<575>

darkness
<4655>

to
<1519>

light
<5457>_,

and
<2532>

[from] the power
<1849>

of Satan
<4567>

unto
<1909>

God
<2316>_,

that they
<846>

may receive
<2983> (5629)

forgiveness
<859>

of sins
<266>_,

and
<2532>

inheritance
<2819>

among
<1722>

them which are sanctified
<37> (5772)

by faith
<4102>

that is in
<1519>

me
<1691>_.

26:19

Whereupon
<3606>_,

O king
<935>

Agrippa
<67>_,

I was
<1096> (5633)

not
<3756>

disobedient
<545>

unto the heavenly
<3770>

vision
<3701>_:

26:20

But
<235>

shewed
<518> (5723) (5625) <518> (5707)

first
<4412>

unto them of
<1722>

Damascus
<1154>_,

and
<2532>

at Jerusalem
<2414>_,

and
<5037>

throughout
<1519>

all
<3956>

the coasts
<5561>

of Judaea
<2449>_,

and
<2532>

[then] to the Gentiles
<1484>_,

that they should repent
<3340> (5721)

and
<2532>

turn
<1994> (5721)

to
<1909>

God
<2316>_,

and do
<4238> (5723)

works
<2041>

meet
<514>

for repentance
<3341>_.

26:21

For
<1752>

these causes
<5130>

the Jews
<2453>

caught
<4815> (5642)

me
<3165>

in
<1722>

the temple
<2411>_,

and went about
<3987> (5711)

to kill
<1315> (5670)

[me].

26:22

Having
<5177> (0)

therefore
<3767>

obtained
<5177> (5631)

help
<1947>

of
<3844>

God
<2316>_,

I continue
<2476> (5758)

unto
<891>

this
<5026>

day
<2250>_,

witnessing
<3140> (5746)

both
<5037>

to small
<3398>

and
<2532>

great
<3173>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)

none other things
<3762>

than
<1622>

those which
<3739> <5037>

the prophets
<4396>

and
<2532>

Moses
<3475>

did say
<2980> (5656)

should
<3195> (5723)

come
<1096> (5738)_:

26:23

That
<1487>

Christ
<5547>

should suffer
<3805>_,

[and] that
<1487>

he should be the first
<4413>

that should rise
<386>

from
<1537>

the dead
<3498>_,

and should
<3195> (5719)

shew
<2605> (5721)

light
<5457>

unto the people
<2992>_,

and
<2532>

to the Gentiles
<1484>_.

26:24

And
<1161>

as he
<846>

thus
<5023>

spake for himself
<626> (5740)_,

Festus
<5347>

said
<5346> (5713)

with a loud
<3173>

voice
<5456>_,

Paul
<3972>_,

thou art beside thyself
<3105> (5736)_;

much
<4183>

learning
<1121>

doth make
<4062> (5719)

thee
<4571>

mad
<1519> <3130>_.

26:25

But
<1161>

he said
<5346> (5748)_,

I am
<3105> (0)

not
<3756>

mad
<3105> (5736)_,

most noble
<2903>

Festus
<5347>_;

but
<235>

speak forth
<669> (5736)

the words
<4487>

of truth
<225>

and
<2532>

soberness
<4997>_.

26:26

For
<1063>

the king
<935>

knoweth
<1987> (5736)

of
<4012>

these
<5130>

things, before
<4314>

whom
<3739>

also
<2532>

I speak
<2980> (5719)

freely
<3955> (5740)_:

for
<1063>

I am persuaded
<3982> (5743)

that
<3756>

none
<5100> <3762>

of these things
<5130>

are hidden
<2990> (5721)

from him
<846>_;

for
<1063>

this thing
<5124>

was
<2076> (5748)

not
<3756>

done
<4238> (5772)

in
<1722>

a corner
<1137>_.

26:27

King
<935>

Agrippa
<67>_,

believest thou
<4100> (5719)

the prophets
<4396>_?

I know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

thou believest
<4100> (5719)_.

26:28

Then
<1161>

Agrippa
<67>

said
<5346> (5713)

unto
<4314>

Paul
<3972>_,

Almost
<1722> <3641>

thou persuadest
<3982> (5719)

me
<3165>

to be
<1096> (5635)

a Christian
<5546>_.

26:29

And
<1161>

Paul
<3972>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

I would
<302> <2172> (5665)

to God
<2316>_,

that not
<3756>

only
<3440>

thou
<4571>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

all
<3956>

that hear
<191> (5723)

me
<3450>

this day
<4594>_,

were
<1096> (5635)

both
<2532>

almost
<1722> <3641>_,

and
<2532>

altogether
<1722> <4183>

such
<5108>

as
<3697> <2504>

I am
<1510> (5748)_,

except
<3924>

these
<5130>

bonds
<1199>_.

26:30

And
<2532>

when he
<846>

had
<2036> (0)

thus
<5023>

spoken
<2036> (5631)_,

the king
<935>

rose up
<450> (5627)_,

and
<2532>

the governor
<2232>_,

and
<5037>

Bernice
<959>_,

and
<2532>

they that sat with
<4775> (5740)

them
<846>_:

26:31

And
<2532>

when they were gone aside
<402> (5660)_,

they talked
<2980> (5707)

between
<4314>

themselves
<240>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

<3754>

This
<3778>

man
<444>

doeth
<4238> (5719)

nothing
<3762>

worthy
<514>

of death
<2288>

or
<2228>

of bonds
<1199>_.

26:32

Then
<1161>

said
<5346> (5713)

Agrippa
<67>

unto Festus
<5347>_,

This
<3778>

man
<444>

might
<1410> (5711)

have been set at liberty
<630> (5771)_,

if
<1508> (0)

he had
<1941> (0)

not
<1508>

appealed unto
<1941> (5716)

Caesar
<2541>_.
