| [1]Now after five days, Ananias the high Priest came down with the Elders, and with Tertullus a certain orator, which appeared before the Governor against Paul. |
[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. |
| [2]And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that we have obtained great quietness through thee, and that many worthy things are done unto this nation through thy providence, |
[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, |
| [3]We acknowledge it wholly, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thanks. |
[3][G5037]We acceptG588[G5736] it alwaysG3839, andG2532 in all placesG3837, most nobleG2903 FelixG5344, withG3326 allG3956 thankfulnessG2169. |
| [4]But that I be not tedious unto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest hear us of thy courtesy a few words. |
[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. |
| [5]Certainly we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world and a chief maintainer of the sect of the Nazarites: |
[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: |
| [6]And hath gone about to pollute the Temple: therefore we took him, and would have judged him according to our Law: |
[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. |
| [7]But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him out of our hands, |
[7]ButG1161 the chief captainG5506 LysiasG3079 cameG3928[G5631] upon us, and withG3326 greatG4183 violenceG970 took him awayG520[G5627] out ofG1537 ourG2257 handsG5495, |
| [8]Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest (if thou wilt inquire) know all these things whereof we accuse him. |
[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. |
| [9]And the Jews likewise affirmed, saying that it was so. |
[9]AndG1161 the JewsG2453 alsoG2532 assentedG4934[G5639], sayingG5335[G5723] that these thingsG5023 wereG2192[G5721] soG3779. |
| [10]Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him that he should speak, answered, I do the more gladly answer for myself, forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, |
[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: |
| [11]Seeing that thou mayest know, that there are but twelve days since I came up to worship in Jerusalem. |
[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] |
| [12]And they neither found me in the Temple disputing with any man, neither making uproar among the people, neither in the Synagogues, nor in the city. |
[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: |
| [13]Neither can they prove the things, whereof they now accuse me. |
[13]NeitherG3777 canG1410[G5736] they proveG3936[G5658][G3165] the thingsG4012 whereofG3739 theyG2723 nowG3568 accuseG2723[G5719] meG3450. |
| [14]But this I confess unto thee, that after the way (which they call heresy) so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and the Prophets, |
[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: |
| [15]And have hope towards God, that the resurrection of the dead which they themselves look for also, shall be both of just and unjust. |
[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. |
| [16]And herein I endeavor myself to have alway a clear conscience toward God, and toward men. |
[16]AndG1161 hereinG1722[G5129] do I exerciseG778[G5719] myselfG846, to haveG2192[G5721] alwaysG1275 a conscienceG4893 void of offenceG677 towardG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 toward menG444. |
| [17]Now after many years, I came and brought alms to my nation and offerings. |
[17]NowG1161 afterG1223 manyG4119 yearsG2094 I cameG3854[G5633] to bringG4160[G5694] almsG1654 toG1519 myG3450 nationG1484, andG2532 offeringsG4376. |
| [18]At what time, certain Jews of Asia found me purified in the Temple, |
[18][G1161]WhereuponG1722[G3739] certainG5100 JewsG2453 fromG575 AsiaG773 foundG2147[G5627] meG3165 purifiedG48[G5772] inG1722 the templeG2411, neitherG3756 withG3326 multitudeG3793, norG3761 withG3326 tumultG2351. |
| [19]Neither 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. |
| [20]Who ought to have been present before thee, and accuse me, if they had ought 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, |
| [21]Or let these themselves say, if they have found any unjust thing in me, while I stood in the Council, |
[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. |
| [22]Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Of the resurrection of the dead am I accused of you this day. |
[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. |
| [23]Now when Felix heard these things, he deferred them, and said, When I shall more perfectly know the things which concern this way, by the coming of Lysias the chief Captain, I will decide your matter. |
[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. |
| [24]Â Then he commanded a Centurion to keep Paul, and that he should have ease, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister unto him, or to come unto 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. |
| [25]Â And after certain days, came Felix with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, and he called forth Paul, and heard him of the faith in 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. |
| [26]And as he disputed of righteousness, and temperance, and of the judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time, and when I have convenient 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. |
| [27]He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed 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] |
| [28]When two years were expired, Porcius Festus came into Felix's room: and Felix willing to get favor of the Jews, left Paul bound. |
