@
And
Paul
, earnestly
beholding
the
council
,
said
,
Men
and
brethren
,
I
have
lived
in
all
good
conscience
before
God
until
this
day
.
strkjv@Acts:23:2
@
And
the high
priest
Ananias
commanded
them that stood
by
him
to
smite
him
on the
mouth
.
strkjv@Acts:23:3
@
Then
said
Paul
unto
him
,
God
shall
smite
thee
, thou
whited
wall
:
for
sittest
thou
to
judge
me
after
the
law
,
and
commandest
me
to be
smitten
contrary to the
law
?
strkjv@Acts:23:4
@
And
they that stood
by
said
, Revilest
thou
Gods
high
priest
?
strkjv@Acts:23:5
@
Then
said
Paul
, I
wist
not
,
brethren
,
that
he
was
the high
priest
:
for
it is
written
, Thou
shalt
not
speak
evil
of the
ruler
of
thy
people
.
strkjv@Acts:23:6
@
But
when
Paul
perceived
that
the
one
part
were
Sadducees
,
and
the
other
Pharisees
, he cried
out
in
the
council
,
Men
and
brethren
,
I
am
a
Pharisee
, the
son
of a
Pharisee
:
of
the
hope
and
resurrection
of the
dead
I
am called in
question
.
strkjv@Acts:23:7
@
And
when
he
had
so
said
, there
arose
a
dissension
between the
Pharisees
and
the
Sadducees
:
and
the
multitude
was
divided
.
strkjv@Acts:23:8
@
For
the
Sadducees
say
that there
is
no
resurrection
,
neither
angel
,
nor
spirit
:
but
the
Pharisees
confess
both
.
strkjv@Acts:23:9
@
And
there
arose
a
great
cry
:
and
the
scribes
that were of the
Pharisees
part
arose
, and
strove
,
saying
, We
find
no
evil
in
this
man
:
but
if
a
spirit
or
an
angel
hath
spoken
to
him
, let
us
not
fight
against God.
strkjv@Acts:23:10
@
And
when there
arose
a
great
dissension
, the chief
captain
,
fearing
lest
Paul
should have been pulled in
pieces
of
them
,
commanded
the
soldiers
to go
down
, and to
take
him
by
force
from
among
them
,
and
to
bring
him
into
the
castle
.
strkjv@Acts:23:11
@
And
the
night
following
the
Lord
stood
by
him
, and
said
, Be of good
cheer
,
Paul
:
for
as
thou hast
testified
of
me
in
Jerusalem
,
so
must
thou
bear
witness
also
at
Rome
.
strkjv@Acts:23:12
@
And
when it
was
day
,
certain
of the
Jews
banded
together
, and
bound
themselves
under a
curse
,
saying
that they
would
neither
eat
nor
drink
till
they had
killed
Paul
.
strkjv@Acts:23:13
@
And
they
were
more
than
forty
which
had
made
this
conspiracy
.
strkjv@Acts:23:14
@ And
they
came
to
the chief
priests
and
elders
, and
said
, We have
bound
ourselves
under a great
curse
, that we will
eat
nothing
until
we have
slain
Paul
.
strkjv@Acts:23:15
@
Now
therefore
ye
with
the
council
signify
to the chief
captain
that
he
bring
him
down
unto
you
to
morrow
,
as
though ye
would
enquire
something more
perfectly
concerning
him
:
and
we
, or
ever
he
come
near
,
are
ready
to
kill
him
.
strkjv@Acts:23:16
@
And
when
Pauls
sisters
son
heard
of their lying in
wait
, he
went
and
entered
into
the
castle
, and
told
Paul
.
strkjv@Acts:23:17
@
Then
Paul
called
one
of the
centurions
unto him, and
said
,
Bring
this
young
man
unto
the chief
captain
:
for
he
hath
a certain
thing
to
tell
him
.
strkjv@Acts:23:18
@
So
he
took
him
, and
brought
him
to
the chief
captain
,
and
said
,
Paul
the
prisoner
called
me
unto him, and prayed
me
to
bring
this
young
man
unto
thee
, who
hath
something
to
say
unto
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:23:19
@
Then
the chief
captain
took
him
by the
hand
,
and
went with him
aside
privately
, and
asked
him,
What
is
that
thou
hast
to
tell
me
?
strkjv@Acts:23:20
@
And
he
said
,
The
Jews
have
agreed
to
desire
thee
that
thou wouldest bring
down
Paul
to
morrow
into
the
council
,
as
though they
would
enquire
somewhat
of
him
more
perfectly
.
strkjv@Acts:23:21
@
But
do
not
thou
yield
unto
them
:
for
there lie in wait
for
him
of
them
more
than
forty
men
,
which
have
bound
themselves
with an
oath
, that they
will
neither
eat
nor
drink
till
they have
killed
him
:
and
now
are
they
ready
, looking
for
a
promise
from
thee
.
strkjv@Acts:23:22
@
So
the chief
captain
then
let
the young
man
depart
, and
charged
him, See thou
tell
no
man
that
thou hast
shewed
these
things
to
me
.
strkjv@Acts:23:23
@
And
he called
unto
him
two
centurions
,
saying
, Make
ready
two
hundred
soldiers
to
go
to
Caesarea
,
and
horsemen
threescore and
ten
,
and
spearmen
two
hundred
,
at
the
third
hour
of the
night
;
strkjv@Acts:23:24
@
And
provide
them
beasts
,
that
they may
set
Paul
on
, and bring him
safe
unto
Felix
the
governor
.
strkjv@Acts:23:25
@ And he
wrote
a
letter
after
this
manner
:
strkjv@Acts:23:26
@
Claudius
Lysias
unto the most
excellent
governor
Felix
sendeth
greeting
.
strkjv@Acts:23:27
@
This
man
was
taken
of
the
Jews
,
and
should
have been
killed
of
them
: then came
I
with
an
army
, and
rescued
him
, having
understood
that
he
was
a
Roman
.
strkjv@Acts:23:28
@
And
when
I
would
have
known
the
cause
wherefore
they
accused
him
, I
brought
him
forth
into
their
council
:
strkjv@Acts:23:29
@
Whom
I
perceived
to be
accused
of
questions
of
their
law
,
but
to
have
nothing
laid to his
charge
worthy
of
death
or
of
bonds
.
strkjv@Acts:23:30
@
And
when it was
told
me
how
that
the
Jews
laid
wait
for
the
man
, I
sent
straightway
to
thee
, and gave
commandment
to his
accusers
also
to
say
before
thee
what they had
against
him
.
Farewell
.
strkjv@Acts:23:31
@
Then
the
soldiers
,
as
it was
commanded
them
,
took
Paul
, and
brought
him
by
night
to
Antipatris
.
strkjv@Acts:23:32
@
On the
morrow
they
left
the
horsemen
to
go
with
him

returned
to
the
castle

strkjv@Acts:23:33
@
Who
, when they
came
to
Caesarea
,
and
delivered
the
epistle
to the
governor

presented
Paul
also
before
him

strkjv@Acts:23:34
@
And
when the
governor
had
read
the letter,
he
asked

province
he
was

And
when he
understood
that
he was
of
Cilicia

strkjv@Acts:23:35
@ I will
hear
thee

to be
kept
in
Herods
judgment
hall
