* Then Paul , after that the governor had beckoned (5660 ) unto him to speak (5721 ), answered (5662 ), Forasmuch as I know (5740 ) that thou hast been (5752 ) of many years a judge unto this nation , I do the more cheerfully answer (5736 ) for myself : * Because that thou mayest (5740 ) understand (5629 ), that there are (5748 ) yet but twelve days since I went up (5627 ) to Jerusalem for to worship (5694 ). * And they neither found (5627 ) me in the temple disputing (5740 ) with any man , neither raising up # (5723 ) the people , neither in the synagogues , nor in the city : * Neither can (5736 ) they prove (5658 ) the things whereof they now accuse (5719 ) me . * But this I confess (5719 ) unto thee , that after the way which they call (5719 ) heresy , so worship I (5719 ) the God of my fathers , believing (5723 ) all things which are written (5772 ) in the law and in the prophets : * And have (5723 ) hope toward God , which they themselves also allow (5736 ), that there shall be (5721 ) (5705 ) a resurrection of the dead , both of the just and unjust . * And herein do I exercise (5719 ) myself , to have (5721 ) always a conscience void of offence toward God , and toward men . * Now after many years I came (5633 ) to bring (5694 ) alms to my nation , and offerings . * Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found (5627 ) me purified (5772 ) in the temple , neither with multitude , nor with tumult . * Who ought (5748 ) (5625 ) (5713 ) to have been here (5750 ) before thee , and object (5721 ), if they had (5722 ) ought against me . * Or else let these same here say (5628 ), if they have found (5627 ) any evil doing in me , while I stood (5631 ) before the council , * Except it be for this one voice , that I cried (5656 ) standing (5761 ) among them , Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question (5743 ) by you this day .
