acv@Acts:24:1 @ And after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, who appeared to the governor against Paul.

acv@Acts:24:2 @ And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Experiencing much peace because of thee, and worthy deeds happening to this nation because of thy foresight,

acv@Acts:24:3 @ we welcome, both always and everywhere, eminent Felix, with all thankfulness.

acv@Acts:24:4 @ But, that I may not detain thee on more, I entreat thee in thy clemency to hear us briefly.

acv@Acts:24:5 @ For we have found this man a plague, who even instigates sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

acv@Acts:24:6 @ who also attempted to profane the temple, whom also we took,

acv@Acts:24:7" />

acv@Acts:24:8 @ from whom thou will be able, having examined him, to learn about all these things of which we accuse him.

acv@Acts:24:9 @ And the Jews also agreed, claiming to have these things this way.

acv@Acts:24:10 @ And when the governor gestured to him to speak, Paul answered, Knowing for many years thou being a judge to this nation, I gladly make a defense of these things about myself,

acv@Acts:24:11 @ thou being able to learn that there are for me not more than twelve days from which I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

acv@Acts:24:12 @ And they found me neither in the temple disputing against any man, nor making a gang of a group, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.

acv@Acts:24:13 @ Neither can they prove against me of which things they now accuse me.

acv@Acts:24:14 @ But this I confess to thee, that according to the Way that they call a sect, so serve I the paternal God, believing all things written according to the law and the prophets,

acv@Acts:24:15 @ having hope toward God, which they themselves also await, to come to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

acv@Acts:24:16 @ And in this I fashion myself, having a conscience always nonstumbling before God and men.

acv@Acts:24:17 @ Now after more years I came, going to make donations to my nation, and offerings,

acv@Acts:24:18 @ during which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd or with a tumult,

acv@Acts:24:19 @ who ought to be here before thee, and to accuse, if they would have anything against me.

acv@Acts:24:20 @ Or let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found in me, having stood before the council,

acv@Acts:24:21 @ or about this one voice that I cried out standing among them: About a resurrection of the dead I am judged by you this day.

acv@Acts:24:22 @ Now Felix, having heard these things, having known more precisely the things about the Way, he deferred them, having said, When Lysias the chief captain comes down, I will determine the things toward you.

acv@Acts:24:23 @ He also arranged for the centurion to guard Paul, and to have reduced confinement, and to forbid none of his own men to serve or to come to him.

acv@Acts:24:24 @ And after some days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla, his wife being Jewish, he summoned Paul, and heard him about the faith in Christ.

acv@Acts:24:25 @ And as he discoursed about righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment going to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, Go now, and having a convenient time, I will summon thee.

acv@Acts:24:26 @ He also hoped simultaneously that money would be given him by Paul so that he might free him. And so, summoning him more frequently, he conversed with him.

acv@Acts:24:27 @ But two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus. And wanting to lay down favors to the Jews, Felix left behind Paul bound.
