And
after
five
days
Ananias
the high
priest
descended
with
the
elders
,
and
with a
certain
orator
named
Tertullus
,
who
informed
the
governor
against
Paul
.
strkjv@Acts:24:2
@
And
when
he
was called
forth
,
Tertullus
began
to
accuse
him,
saying
, Seeing that
by
thee
we
enjoy
great
quietness
,
and
that very worthy
deeds
are
done
unto
this
nation
by
thy
providence
,
strkjv@Acts:24:3
@
We
accept
it
always
,
and
in all
places
, most
noble
Felix
,
with
all
thankfulness
.
strkjv@Acts:24:4
@
Notwithstanding
,
that
I
be
not
further
tedious
unto
thee
, I
pray
thee
that thou wouldest
hear
us
of
thy
clemency
a few
words
.
strkjv@Acts:24:5
@
For
we have
found
this
man
a
pestilent
fellow,
and
a
mover
of
sedition
among
all
the
Jews
throughout
the
world
,
and
a
ringleader
of the
sect
of the
Nazarenes
:
strkjv@Acts:24:6
@
Who
also
hath gone
about
to
profane
the
temple
:
whom
we
took
,
and
would
have
judged
according
to
our
law
.
strkjv@Acts:24:7
@
But
the chief
captain
Lysias
came
upon us, and
with
great
violence
took him
away
out
of
our
hands
,
strkjv@Acts:24:8
@
Commanding
his
accusers
to
come
unto
thee
: by
examining
of
whom
thyself
mayest
take
knowledge
of
all
these
things
,
whereof
we
accuse
him
.
strkjv@Acts:24:9
@
And
the
Jews
also
assented
,
saying
that these
things
were
so
.
strkjv@Acts:24:10
@
Then
Paul
, after that the
governor
had
beckoned
unto
him
to
speak
,
answered
, Forasmuch as I
know
that
thou
hast
been
of
many
years
a
judge
unto
this
nation
, I
do
the more
cheerfully
answer
for
myself
:
strkjv@Acts:24:11
@ Because that
thou
mayest
understand
,
that
there
are
yet
but
twelve
days
since
I
went
up
to
Jerusalem
for to
worship
.
strkjv@Acts:24:12
@
And
they
neither
found
me
in
the
temple
disputing
with
any
man
,
neither
raising
up
the
people
,
neither
in
the
synagogues
,
nor
in
the
city
:
strkjv@Acts:24:13
@
Neither
can
they
prove
the
things
whereof
they
now
accuse
me
.
strkjv@Acts:24:14
@
But
this
I
confess
unto
thee
,
that
after
the
way
which
they
call
heresy
,
so
worship
I
the
God
of my
fathers
,
believing
all
things
which
are
written
in
the
law
and
in
the
prophets
:
strkjv@Acts:24:15
@ And
have
hope
toward
God
,
which
they
themselves
also
allow
, that there shall
be
a
resurrection
of the
dead
,
both
of the
just
and
unjust
.
strkjv@Acts:24:16
@
And
herein
do I
exercise
myself
, to
have
always
a
conscience
void of
offence
toward
God
,
and
toward
men
.
strkjv@Acts:24:17
@
Now
after
many
years
I
came
to
bring
alms
to
my
nation
,
and
offerings
.
strkjv@Acts:24:18
@
Whereupon
certain
Jews
from
Asia
found
me
purified
in
the
temple
,
neither
with
multitude
,
nor
with
tumult
.
strkjv@Acts:24:19
@
Who
ought
to have been
here
before
thee
,
and
object
,
if
they
had
ought
against
me
.
strkjv@Acts:24:20
@ Or
else
let
these
same
here
say
,
if
they have
found
any
evil
doing
in
me
, while
I
stood
before
the
council
,
strkjv@Acts:24:21
@
Except
it be
for
this
one
voice
,
that
I
cried
standing
among
them
,
Touching
the
resurrection
of the
dead
I
am called in
question
by
you
this
day
.
strkjv@Acts:24:22
@
And
when
Felix
heard
these
things
, having more
perfect
knowledge
of
that
way
, he
deferred
them
, and
said
,
When
Lysias
the chief
captain
shall come
down
, I will know the
uttermost
of
your
matter
.
strkjv@Acts:24:23
@
And
he
commanded
a
centurion
to
keep
Paul
,
and
to let him
have
liberty
,
and
that he should
forbid
none
of
his
acquaintance
to
minister
or
come
unto
him
.
strkjv@Acts:24:24
@
And
after
certain
days
, when
Felix
came
with
his
wife
Drusilla
, which
was
a
Jewess
, he sent
for
Paul
,
and
heard
him
concerning
the
faith
in
Christ
.
strkjv@Acts:24:25
@
And
as
he
reasoned
of
righteousness
,
temperance
,
and
judgment
to
come
,
Felix
trembled
, and
answered
, Go thy
way
for this
time
;
when
I
have
a convenient
season
, I will call
for
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:24:26
@ He
hoped
also
that
money
should have been
given
him
of
Paul
,
that
he might
loose
him
:
wherefore
he sent
for
him
the
oftener
,
and
communed
with
him
.
strkjv@Acts:24:27
@
But
after
two
years
Porcius
Festus
came
into
Felix
room
:
and
Felix
,
willing
to
shew
the
Jews
a
pleasure
,
left
Paul
bound
.
