| [1]And when gazed Paulus at the assembly he said men brothers I in all conscience good I have lived before Alaha until today |
[1]And Paul beheld earnestly the Council, and said, Men and brethren, I have in all good conscience served God until this day. |
| [2]And Khanan-Yah the priest commanded those who stood on the side to hit Paulus on his mouth |
[2]Then the high Priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth. |
| [3]And Paulus said to him going is Alaha to strike you a wall whitened and you sitting are judge you me according to the law when violate you against the law and command you to strike me |
[3]Then said Paul to him, God will smite thee, thou whited wall: for thou sittest to judge me according to the Law, and commandest thou me to be smitten contrary to the Law? |
| [4]And those who standing were there were saying to him the priest of Alaha accuse you |
[4]And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high Priest? |
| [5]Said to them Paulus not aware I was brothers that the Priest he is written it is for "The Ruler of your people not curse" |
[5]Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he was the high Priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the Ruler of thy people. |
| [6]And when knew Paulus that some of the people was of Zadoqia and some of Pharisha shouting he was in the council men brothers I Pharisha am son of a Pharisha and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead judged I am |
[6]But when Paul perceived that the one part were of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, he cried in the Council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: I am accused of the hope and resurrection of the dead. |
| [7]And when this he said fell one upon another Pharisha and Zadoqia and was divided the people |
[7]And when he had said this, there was a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, so that the multitude was divided. |
| [8]Zadokia for were saying there is no resurrection neither angel nor spirit The Pharisha but confess all of these |
[8]For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. |
| [9]And there was noise great stood some scribes of the side of the Pharisha and contending they were with them and they were saying not we find anything evil in this man if but The Spirit or an angel spoke with him what? is there in it in that |
[9]Then there was a great cry: and the Scribes of the Pharisees part rose up, and strove, saying, We find none evil in this man: but if a spirit or an Angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. |
| [10]And when there was an uproar great among them afraid was the Chiliarch lest they would tear apart Paulus and he sent Romans to go snatch him from their midst and bring him to the encampment |
[10]And when there was 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 from among them, and to bring him into the castle. |
| [11]And when he was the night appeared to him our Lord to Paulus and said to him be strong because as you testified of Me in Jerusalem thus are going you also in Rome to testify |
[11]Now the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. |
| [12]And when it was dawn gathered were some of the Jews and they put a curse upon themselves that not they would eat neither would they drink until they would kill him Paulus |
[12]And when the day was come, certain of the Jews made an assembly, and bound themselves with an oath, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink, till they had killed Paul. |
| [13]There were but those who established in an oath this covenant more than forty men |
[13]And they were more than forty, which had made this conspiracy. |
| [14]And they came to The Priests and to The Elders and saying they were "A curse we have cursed upon us that anything not we shall taste until we shall kill Paulus |
[14]And they came to the chief Priests and Elders, and said, We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath, that we will eat nothing, until we have slain Paul. |
| [15]And now ask you and The Rulers of the Council from The Chiliarch to bring him to you as if seek you to examine properly his conduct and we we are ready to kill him before he arrives in your presence |
[15]Now therefore, ye and the Council signify to the chief captain, that he bring him forth unto you tomorrow, as though you would know something more perfectly of him, and we, or ever he come near, will be ready to kill him. |
| [16]And heard had son of the sister of Paulus plot this and he entered the encampment and informed Paulus |
[16]But when Paul's sister's son heard of their laying await, he went, and entered into the castle, and told Paul, |
| [17]And sent Paulus he called one of the Centurions and said to him escort young man this to The Chiliarch has he for something to say to him |
[17]And 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 show him. |
| [18]And led him The Centurion the youth and brought him to The Chiliarch and said Paulus the prisoner called me and begged of me to bring this young man unto you who has to him something to say to you |
[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, which hath something to say unto thee. |
| [19]And held him by his hand The Chiliarch the youth and drew him to one side and asking he was him "What? have you to say to me" |
[19]Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went apart with him alone, and asked him, What hast thou to show me? |
| [20]And said to him the youth the Judeans have planned to entreat of you to send down Paulus tomorrow to their Council as if they want something more to learn from him |
[20]And he said, The Jews have conspired to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring forth Paul tomorrow into the Council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly. |
| [21]You therefore not believe them behold for more than forty men of them are watching for him in ambush and have put a curse on themselves that not to eat nor to drink until they kill him and behold they are ready and waiting for your promise |
[21]But let them not persuade thee: 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, and wait for thy promise. |
| [22]And dismissed him The Chiliarch the youth as he ordered a man not would know that these things you have shown me |
[22]The chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him to speak it to no man, that he had showed him these things. |
| [23]And he called two Centurions and said to them go prepare Romans two hundred to go to Qesaria and horsemen seventy and shooters right handed two hundred to go out from third hour in the night |
[23]And he called unto him two certain Centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers, that they may go to Caesarea, and horsemen three score and ten, and two hundred, with darts at the third hour of the night. |
| [24]Prepare but also beasts of burden so they may mount Paulus and let him escape to Filix The Governor |
[24]And let them make ready an horse that Paul being set on, may be brought safe unto Felix the Governor. |
| [25]And he wrote a letter he gave to them who were with him thus |
[25]And he wrote an epistle in this manner, |
| [26]Qlaudius Lusius to Filix The Governor The Excellent Greeting |
[26]Claudius Lysias unto the most noble Governor Felix sendeth greeting. |
| [27]Man this seized the Judeans so as to kill him and I helped I with the Romans and I saved him when I learned that Roman he is |
[27]As this man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them, I came upon them with the garrison, and rescued him, perceiving that he was a Roman. |
| [28]And when sought I had to know the cause for which accusing they were him I brought him down to their Council |
[28]And when I would have known the cause, wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their Council. |
| [29]And I found that about charges of their law accusing they were him and a cause that worthy for imprisonment or for death not was against him |
[29]There I perceived that he was accused of questions of their Law, but had no crime worthy of death, or of bonds. |
| [30]And when it was shown to me a plot by ambush that made against him the Judeans at once I sent him to you and I ordered his accusers to go and to speak with him before you be well |
[30]And when it was showed me, how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent him straightway to thee, and commanded his accusers to speak before thee the things that they had against him. Farewell. |
| [31]Then the Romans as they were ordered brought him Paulus in the night and brought him to Antipatris the city |
[31]Then the soldiers as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. |
| [32]And the day next dismissed the horsemen the foot soldiers their comrades to return to camp |
[32]And the next day, they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned unto the castle. |
| [33]And they brought him to Qesaria and gave the letter to The Governor and presented him before him Paulus |
[33]Now when they came to Caesarea, they delivered the epistle to the Governor, and presented Paul also unto him. |
| [34]And when he read the letter asking he was him that from which? province he was and when he learned that from Qiliqia |
[34]So when the Governor had read it, he asked of what province he was: and when he understood that he was of Cilicia, |
| [35]He said to him shall hear I you whenever have came your accusers and he commanded to keep him in The Praetorium of Herodus |
[35]I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers also are come, and commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. |
