[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]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][G5037]We acceptG588[G5736] it alwaysG3839, andG2532 in all placesG3837, most nobleG2903 FelixG5344, withG3326 allG3956 thankfulnessG2169.
[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]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]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]ButG1161 the chief captainG5506 LysiasG3079 cameG3928[G5631] upon us, and withG3326 greatG4183 violenceG970 took him awayG520[G5627] out ofG1537 ourG2257 handsG5495,
[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]AndG1161 the JewsG2453 alsoG2532 assentedG4934[G5639], sayingG5335[G5723] that these thingsG5023 wereG2192[G5721] soG3779.
[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]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]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]NeitherG3777 canG1410[G5736] they proveG3936[G5658][G3165] the thingsG4012 whereofG3739 theyG2723 nowG3568 accuseG2723[G5719] meG3450.
[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 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]AndG1161 hereinG1722[G5129] do I exerciseG778[G5719] myselfG846, to haveG2192[G5721] alwaysG1275 a conscienceG4893 void of offenceG677 towardG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 toward menG444.
[17]NowG1161 afterG1223 manyG4119 yearsG2094 I cameG3854[G5633] to bringG4160[G5694] almsG1654 toG1519 myG3450 nationG1484, andG2532 offeringsG4376.
[18][G1161]WhereuponG1722[G3739] certainG5100 JewsG2453 fromG575 AsiaG773 foundG2147[G5627] meG3165 purifiedG48[G5772] inG1722 the templeG2411, neitherG3756 withG3326 multitudeG3793, norG3761 withG3326 tumultG2351.
[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]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]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]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]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]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]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]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]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]
