dby@Acts:24:1 @ And after five days came down the high priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator called Tertullus, and laid their informations against Paul before the governor.

dby@Acts:24:2 @ And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, Seeing we enjoy great peace through thee, and that excellent measures are executed for this nation by thy forethought,

dby@Acts:24:3 @ we receive [it] always and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

dby@Acts:24:4 @ But that I may not too much intrude on thy time, I beseech thee to hear us briefly in thy kindness.

dby@Acts:24:5 @ For finding this man a pest, and moving sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazaraeans;

dby@Acts:24:6 @ who also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, [and would have judged according to our law;

dby@Acts:24:7 @ but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took [him] away with great force out of our hands,

dby@Acts:24:8 @ having commanded his accusers to come to thee;] of whom thou canst thyself, in examining [him], know the certainty of all these things of which we accuse him.

dby@Acts:24:9 @ And the Jews also joined in pressing the matter against [Paul], saying that these things were so.

dby@Acts:24:10 @ But Paul, the governor having beckoned to him to speak, answered, Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge to this nation, I answer readily as to the things which concern myself.

dby@Acts:24:11 @ As thou mayest know that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem,

dby@Acts:24:12 @ and neither in the temple did they find me discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;

dby@Acts:24:13 @ neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me.

dby@Acts:24:14 @ But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets;

dby@Acts:24:15 @ having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust.

dby@Acts:24:16 @ For this cause I also exercise [myself] to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men.

dby@Acts:24:17 @ And after a lapse of many years I arrived, bringing alms to my nation, and offerings.

dby@Acts:24:18 @ Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was certain Jews from Asia,

dby@Acts:24:19 @ who ought to appear before thee and accuse, if they have anything against me;

dby@Acts:24:20 @ or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the council,

dby@Acts:24:21 @ [other] than concerning this one voice which I cried standing amongst them: I am judged this day by you touching [the] resurrection of [the] dead.

dby@Acts:24:22 @ And Felix, knowing accurately the things concerning the way, adjourned them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch is come down I will determine your affair;

dby@Acts:24:23 @ ordering the centurion to keep him, and that he should have freedom, and to hinder none of his friends to minister to him.

dby@Acts:24:24 @ And after certain days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

dby@Acts:24:25 @ And as he reasoned concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment about to come, Felix, being filled with fear, answered, Go for the present, and when I get an opportunity I will send for thee;

dby@Acts:24:26 @ hoping at the same time that money would be given him by Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener and communed with him.

dby@Acts:24:27 @ But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.
