| [1]AndG1161 afterG3326 fiveG4002 daysG2250 AnaniasG367 the high priestG749 descendedG2597[G5627] withG3326 the eldersG4245, andG2532 with a certainG5100 oratorG4489 named TertullusG5061, whoG3748 informedG1718[G5656] the governorG2232 againstG2596 PaulG3972. |
[1]And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator -- Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor [the things] against Paul; |
| [2]AndG1161 when heG846 was called forthG2564[G5685], TertullusG5061 beganG756[G5662] to accuseG2723[G5721] him, sayingG3004[G5723], Seeing that byG1223 theeG4675 we enjoyG5177[G5723] greatG4183 quietnessG1515, andG2532 that very worthy deedsG2735 are doneG1096[G5740] unto thisG5129 nationG1484 byG1223 thyG4674 providenceG4307, |
[2]and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, `Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through thy forethought, |
| [3][G5037]We acceptG588[G5736] it alwaysG3839, andG2532 in all placesG3837, most nobleG2903 FelixG5344, withG3326 allG3956 thankfulnessG2169. |
[3]always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness; |
| [4]NotwithstandingG1161, thatG3363 I beG4119 notG3363[G1909] furtherG4119 tediousG1465[G5725] unto theeG4571, I prayG3870[G5719] theeG4571 that thou wouldest hearG191[G5658] usG2257 of thyG4674 clemencyG1932 a few wordsG4935. |
[4]and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness; |
| [5]ForG1063 we have foundG2147[G5631] thisG5126 manG435 a pestilentG3061 fellow, andG2532 a moverG2795[G5723] of seditionG4714 among allG3956 the JewsG2453 throughoutG2596 the worldG3625, andG5037 a ringleaderG4414 of the sectG139 of the NazarenesG3480: |
[5]for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world -- a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes -- |
| [6]WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath gone aboutG3985[G5707] to profaneG953[G5658] the templeG2411:[G2532] whomG3739 we tookG2902[G5656], andG2532 wouldG2309[G5656] have judgedG2919[G5721] accordingG2596 to ourG2251 lawG3551. |
[6]who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge, |
| [7]ButG1161 the chief captainG5506 LysiasG3079 cameG3928[G5631] upon us, and withG3326 greatG4183 violenceG970 took him awayG520[G5627] out ofG1537 ourG2257 handsG5495, |
[7]and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away, |
| [8]CommandingG2753[G5660] hisG846 accusersG2725 to comeG2064[G5738] untoG1909 theeG4571: by examiningG350[G5660] ofG3844 whomG3739 thyselfG846 mayestG1410[G5695] take knowledgeG1921[G5629] ofG4012 allG3956 these thingsG5130, whereofG3739 weG2249 accuseG2723[G5719] himG846. |
[8]having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;' |
| [9]AndG1161 the JewsG2453 alsoG2532 assentedG4934[G5639], sayingG5335[G5723] that these thingsG5023 wereG2192[G5721] soG3779. |
[9]and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so. |
| [10]ThenG1161 PaulG3972, after that the governorG2232 had beckonedG3506[G5660] unto himG846 to speakG3004[G5721], answeredG611[G5662], Forasmuch as I knowG1987[G5740] that thouG4571 hast beenG5607[G5752] ofG1537 manyG4183 yearsG2094 a judgeG2923 unto thisG5129 nationG1484, I doG626 the more cheerfullyG2115 answerG626[G5736] forG4012 myselfG1683: |
[10]And Paul answered -- the governor having beckoned to him to speak -- `Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer; |
| [11]Because that thouG4675 mayestG1410[G5740] understandG1097[G5629], thatG3754 there areG1526[G5748] yet butG2228[G3756] twelveG1177 daysG2250[G4119] sinceG575[G3739] IG3427 went upG305[G5627] toG1722 JerusalemG2419 for to worshipG4352.[G5694] |
[11]thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, |
| [12]AndG2532 they neitherG3777 foundG2147[G5627] meG3165 inG1722 the templeG2411 disputingG1256[G5740] withG4314 any manG5100, neitherG2228 raising upG1999[G4160][G5723] the peopleG3793[G1999], neitherG3777 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, norG3777 inG2596 the cityG4172: |
[12]and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; |
| [13]NeitherG3777 canG1410[G5736] they proveG3936[G5658][G3165] the thingsG4012 whereofG3739 theyG2723 nowG3568 accuseG2723[G5719] meG3450. |
[13]nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me. |
| [14]ButG1161 thisG5124 I confessG3670[G5719] unto theeG4671, thatG3754 afterG2596 the wayG3598 whichG3739 they callG3004[G5719] heresyG139, soG3779 worship IG3000[G5719] the GodG2316 of my fathersG3971, believingG4100[G5723] all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125[G5772] inG2596 the lawG3551 andG2532 inG1722 the prophetsG4396: |
[14]`And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written, |
| [15]And haveG2192[G5723] hopeG1680 towardG1519 GodG2316, whichG3739 theyG3778 themselvesG846 alsoG2532 allowG4327[G5736], that there shall beG3195[G5721][G1510][G5705] a resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, bothG5037 of the justG1342 andG2532 unjustG94. |
[15]having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous; |
| [16]AndG1161 hereinG1722[G5129] do I exerciseG778[G5719] myselfG846, to haveG2192[G5721] alwaysG1275 a conscienceG4893 void of offenceG677 towardG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 toward menG444. |
[16]and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always. |
| [17]NowG1161 afterG1223 manyG4119 yearsG2094 I cameG3854[G5633] to bringG4160[G5694] almsG1654 toG1519 myG3450 nationG1484, andG2532 offeringsG4376. |
[17]`And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings, |
| [18][G1161]WhereuponG1722[G3739] certainG5100 JewsG2453 fromG575 AsiaG773 foundG2147[G5627] meG3165 purifiedG48[G5772] inG1722 the templeG2411, neitherG3756 withG3326 multitudeG3793, norG3761 withG3326 tumultG2351. |
[18]in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult, |
| [19]WhoG3739 oughtG1163[G5748][G5625][G1163][G5713] to have been hereG3918[G5750] beforeG1909 theeG4675, andG2532 objectG2723[G5721], ifG1536 they hadG2192[G5722] oughtG1536 againstG4314 meG3165. |
[19]whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me, |
| [20]Or elseG2228 letG2036 theseG846 sameG3778 here sayG2036[G5628], ifG1536 they have foundG2147[G5627] anyG1536 evil doingG92 inG1722 meG1698, while IG3450 stoodG2476[G5631] beforeG1909 the councilG4892, |
[20]or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim, |
| [21]ExceptG2228 it be forG4012 thisG5026 oneG3391 voiceG5456, thatG3739 I criedG2896[G5656] standingG2476[G5761] amongG1722 themG846, TouchingG3754[G4012] the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 IG1473 am called in questionG2919[G5743] byG5259 youG5216 this dayG4594. |
[21]except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them -- Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.' |
| [22]AndG1161 when FelixG5344 heardG191[G5660] these thingsG5023, having more perfectG197 knowledgeG1492[G5761] ofG4012 that wayG3598, he deferredG306[G5639] themG846, and saidG2036[G5631], WhenG3752 LysiasG3079 the chief captainG5506 shall come downG2597[G5632], I will know the uttermostG1231[G5695] of yourG5209 matterG2596. |
[22]And having heard these things, Felix delayed them -- having known more exactly of the things concerning the way -- saying, `When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;' |
| [23]AndG5037 he commandedG1299[G5671] a centurionG1543 to keepG5083[G5745] PaulG3972, andG5037 to let him haveG2192[G5721] libertyG425, andG2532 that he should forbidG2967[G5721] noneG3367 of hisG846 acquaintanceG2398 to ministerG5256[G5721] orG2228 comeG4334[G5738] unto himG846. |
[23]having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him. |
| [24]AndG1161 afterG3326 certainG5100 daysG2250, when FelixG5344 cameG3854[G5637] withG4862 hisG846 wifeG1135 DrusillaG1409, which wasG5607[G5752] a JewessG2453, he sent forG3343[G5662] PaulG3972, andG2532 heardG191[G5656] himG846 concerningG4012 the faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547. |
[24]And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ, |
| [25]AndG1161 as heG846 reasonedG1256[G5740] ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, temperanceG2532[G1466], andG2532 judgmentG2917 to comeG3195[G5723][G1510][G5705], FelixG5344 trembledG1096[G5637][G1719], and answeredG611[G5662], Go thy wayG4198[G5737] for this timeG3568; whenG1161 I haveG2192[G5723][G3335][G5631] a convenient seasonG2540, I will call forG3333[G5698] theeG4571. |
[25]and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;' |
| [26]He hopedG1679[G5723] alsoG260[G1161][G2532] thatG3754 moneyG5536 should have been givenG1325[G5701] himG846 ofG5259 PaulG3972, thatG3704 he might looseG3089[G5661] himG846: whereforeG1352 he sent forG3343[G5740] himG846 the oftenerG4437, andG2532 communed withG3656[G5707] himG846. |
[26]and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him; |
| [27]ButG1161 afterG4137[G5685] two yearsG1333 PorciusG4201 FestusG5347 cameG2983[G5627] into Felix'G5344 roomG1240: andG5037 FelixG5344, willingG2309[G5723] to shewG2698[G5641] the JewsG2453 a pleasureG5485, leftG2641[G5627] PaulG3972 boundG1210.[G5772] |
[27]and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound. |
