24:1 And 1161 after 3326 five 4002 days 2250 Ananias 367 the high priest 749 descended 2597 5627 with 3326 the elders 4245, and 2532 [with] a certain 5100 orator 4489 [named] Tertullus 5061, who 3748 informed 1718 5656 the governor 2232 against 2596 Paul 3972.

24:2 And 1161 when he 846 was called forth 2564 5685, Tertullus 5061 began 756 5662 to accuse 2723 5721 [him], saying 3004 5723, Seeing that by 1223 thee 4675 we enjoy 5177 5723 great 4183 quietness 1515, and 2532 that very worthy deeds 2735 are done 1096 5740 unto this 5129 nation 1484 by 1223 thy 4674 providence 4307,

24:3 5037 We accept 588 5736 [it] always 3839, and 2532 in all places 3837, most noble 2903 Felix 5344, with 3326 all 3956 thankfulness 2169.

24:4 Notwithstanding 1161, that 3363 0 I be 4119 0 not 3363 1909 further 4119 tedious 1465 5725 unto thee 4571, I pray 3870 5719 thee 4571 that thou wouldest hear 191 5658 us 2257 of thy 4674 clemency 1932 a few words 4935.

24:5 For 1063 we have found 2147 5631 this 5126 man 435 [a] pestilent 3061 [fellow], and 2532 a mover 2795 5723 of sedition 4714 among all 3956 the Jews 2453 throughout 2596 the world 3625, and 5037 a ringleader 4414 of the sect 139 of the Nazarenes 3480:

24:6 Who 3739 also 2532 hath gone about 3985 5707 to profane 953 5658 the temple 2411: 2532 whom 3739 we took 2902 5656, and 2532 would 2309 5656 have judged 2919 5721 according 2596 to our 2251 law 3551.

24:7 But 1161 the chief captain 5506 Lysias 3079 came 3928 5631 [upon us], and with 3326 great 4183 violence 970 took [him] away 520 5627 out of 1537 our 2257 hands 5495,

24:8 Commanding 2753 5660 his 846 accusers 2725 to come 2064 5738 unto 1909 thee 4571: by examining 350 5660 of 3844 whom 3739 thyself 846 mayest 1410 5695 take knowledge 1921 5629 of 4012 all 3956 these things 5130, whereof 3739 we 2249 accuse 2723 5719 him 846.

24:9 And 1161 the Jews 2453 also 2532 assented 4934 5639, saying 5335 5723 that these things 5023 were 2192 5721 so 3779.

24:10 Then 1161 Paul 3972, after that the governor 2232 had beckoned 3506 5660 unto him 846 to speak 3004 5721, answered 611 5662, Forasmuch as I know 1987 5740 that thou 4571 hast been 5607 5752 of 1537 many 4183 years 2094 a judge 2923 unto this 5129 nation 1484, I do 626 0 the more cheerfully 2115 answer 626 5736 for 4012 myself 1683:

24:11 Because that thou 4675 mayest 1410 5740 understand 1097 5629, that 3754 there are 1526 5748 yet but 2228 3756 twelve 1177 days 2250 4119 since 575 3739 I 3427 went up 305 5627 to 1722 Jerusalem 2419 for to worship 4352 5694.

24:12 And 2532 they neither 3777 found 2147 5627 me 3165 in 1722 the temple 2411 disputing 1256 5740 with 4314 any man 5100, neither 2228 raising up 1999 0 4160 5723 the people 3793 1999, neither 3777 in 1722 the synagogues 4864, nor 3777 in 2596 the city 4172:

24:13 Neither 3777 can 1410 5736 they prove 3936 5658 3165 the things 4012 whereof 3739 they 2723 0 now 3568 accuse 2723 5719 me 3450.

24:14 But 1161 this 5124 I confess 3670 5719 unto thee 4671, that 3754 after 2596 the way 3598 which 3739 they call 3004 5719 heresy 139, so 3779 worship I 3000 5719 the God 2316 of my fathers 3971, believing 4100 5723 all things 3956 which 3588 are written 1125 5772 in 2596 the law 3551 and 2532 in 1722 the prophets 4396:

24:15 And have 2192 5723 hope 1680 toward 1519 God 2316, which 3739 they 3778 themselves 846 also 2532 allow 4327 5736, that there shall be 3195 5721 1510 5705 a resurrection 386 of the dead 3498, both 5037 of the just 1342 and 2532 unjust 94.

24:16 And 1161 herein 1722 5129 do I exercise 778 5719 myself 846, to have 2192 5721 always 1275 a conscience 4893 void of offence 677 toward 4314 God 2316, and 2532 [toward] men 444.

24:17 Now 1161 after 1223 many 4119 years 2094 I came 3854 5633 to bring 4160 5694 alms 1654 to 1519 my 3450 nation 1484, and 2532 offerings 4376.

24:18 1161 Whereupon 1722 3739 certain 5100 Jews 2453 from 575 Asia 773 found 2147 5627 me 3165 purified 48 5772 in 1722 the temple 2411, neither 3756 with 3326 multitude 3793, nor 3761 with 3326 tumult 2351.

24:19 Who 3739 ought 1163 5748 5625 1163 5713 to have been here 3918 5750 before 1909 thee 4675, and 2532 object 2723 5721, if 1536 0 they had 2192 5722 ought 1536 against 4314 me 3165.

24:20 Or else 2228 let 2036 0 these 846 same 3778 [here] say 2036 5628, if 1536 0 they have found 2147 5627 any 1536 evil doing 92 in 1722 me 1698, while I 3450 stood 2476 5631 before 1909 the council 4892,

24:21 Except 2228 it be for 4012 this 5026 one 3391 voice 5456, that 3739 I cried 2896 5656 standing 2476 5761 among 1722 them 846, Touching 3754 4012 the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498 I 1473 am called in question 2919 5743 by 5259 you 5216 this day 4594.

24:22 And 1161 when Felix 5344 heard 191 5660 these things 5023, having more perfect 197 knowledge 1492 5761 of 4012 [that] way 3598, he deferred 306 5639 them 846, and said 2036 5631, When 3752 Lysias 3079 the chief captain 5506 shall come down 2597 5632, I will know the uttermost 1231 5695 of your 5209 matter 2596.

24:23 And 5037 he commanded 1299 5671 a centurion 1543 to keep 5083 5745 Paul 3972, and 5037 to let [him] have 2192 5721 liberty 425, and 2532 that he should forbid 2967 5721 none 3367 of his 846 acquaintance 2398 to minister 5256 5721 or 2228 come 4334 5738 unto him 846.

24:24 And 1161 after 3326 certain 5100 days 2250, when Felix 5344 came 3854 5637 with 4862 his 846 wife 1135 Drusilla 1409, which was 5607 5752 a Jewess 2453, he sent for 3343 5662 Paul 3972, and 2532 heard 191 5656 him 846 concerning 4012 the faith 4102 in 1519 Christ 5547.

24:25 And 1161 as he 846 reasoned 1256 5740 of 4012 righteousness 1343, temperance 2532 1466, and 2532 judgment 2917 to come 3195 5723 1510 5705, Felix 5344 trembled 1096 5637 1719, and answered 611 5662, Go thy way 4198 5737 for this time 3568; when 1161 I have 2192 5723 3335 5631 a convenient season 2540, I will call for 3333 5698 thee 4571.

24:26 He hoped 1679 5723 also 260 1161 2532 that 3754 money 5536 should have been given 1325 5701 him 846 of 5259 Paul 3972, that 3704 he might loose 3089 5661 him 846: wherefore 1352 he sent for 3343 5740 him 846 the oftener 4437, and 2532 communed with 3656 5707 him 846.

24:27 But 1161 after 4137 5685 two years 1333 Porcius 4201 Festus 5347 came 2983 5627 into Felix' 5344 room 1240: and 5037 Felix 5344, willing 2309 5723 to shew 2698 5641 the Jews 2453 a pleasure 5485, left 2641 5627 Paul 3972 bound 1210 5772.
