Acts 24 (kjv)

And^G1161 after^G3326 five^G4002 days^G2250 Ananias^G367 the high priest^G749 descended^G2597 with^G3326 the elders^G4245, and^G2532 with a certain^G5100 orator^G4489 named Tertullus^G5061, who^G3748 informed^G1718 the governor^G2232 against^G2596 Paul^G3972.²And^G1161 when he^G846 was called forth^G2564, Tertullus^G5061 began^G756 to accuse^G2723 him, saying^G3004, Seeing that by^G1223 thee^G4675 we enjoy^G5177 great^G4183 quietness^G1515, and^G2532 that very worthy deeds^G2735 are done^G1096 unto this^G5129 nation^G1484 by^G1223 thy^G4674 providence^G4307,^3G5037 We accept^G588 it always^G3839, and^G2532 in all places^G3837, most noble^G2903 Felix^G5344, with^G3326 all^G3956 thankfulness^G2169.⁴Notwithstanding^G1161, that^G3363 I be^G4119 not^{G3363 G1909} further^G4119 tedious^G1465 unto thee^G4571, I pray^G3870 thee^G4571 that thou wouldest hear^G191 us^G2257 of thy^G4674 clemency^G1932 a few words^G4935.⁵For^G1063 we have found^G2147 this^G5126 man^G435 a pestilent^G3061 fellow, and^G2532 a mover^G2795 of sedition^G4714 among all^G3956 the Jews^G2453 throughout^G2596 the world^G3625, and^G5037 a ringleader^G4414 of the sect^G139 of the Nazarenes^G3480:⁶Who^G3739 also^G2532 hath gone about^G3985 to profane^G953 the temple^G2411:^G2532 whom^G3739 we took^G2902, and^G2532 would^G2309 have judged^G2919 according^G2596 to our^G2251 law^G3551.⁷But^G1161 the chief captain^G5506 Lysias^G3079 came^G3928 upon us, and with^G3326 great^G4183 violence^G970 took him away^G520 out of^G1537 our^G2257 hands^G5495,⁸Commanding^G2753 his^G846 accusers^G2725 to come^G2064 unto^G1909 thee^G4571: by examining^G350 of^G3844 whom^G3739 thyself^G846 mayest^G1410 take knowledge^G1921 of^G4012 all^G3956 these things^G5130, whereof^G3739 we^G2249 accuse^G2723 him^G846.⁹And^G1161 the Jews^G2453 also^G2532 assented^G4934, saying^G5335 that these things^G5023 were^G2192 so^G3779.¹⁰Then^G1161 Paul^G3972, after that the governor^G2232 had beckoned^G3506 unto him^G846 to speak^G3004, answered^G611, Forasmuch as I know^G1987 that thou^G4571 hast been^G5607 of^G1537 many^G4183 years^G2094 a judge^G2923 unto this^G5129 nation^G1484, I do^G626 the more cheerfully^G2115 answer^G626 for^G4012 myself^G1683:¹¹Because that thou^G4675 mayest^G1410 understand^G1097, that^G3754 there are^G1526 yet but^{G2228 G3756} twelve^G1177 days^{G2250 G4119} since^{G575 G3739} I^G3427 went up^G305 to^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419 for to worship^G4352.¹²And^G2532 they neither^G3777 found^G2147 me^G3165 in^G1722 the temple^G2411 disputing^G1256 with^G4314 any man^G5100, neither^G2228 raising up^{G1999 G4160} the people^{G3793 G1999}, neither^G3777 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864, nor^G3777 in^G2596 the city^G4172:¹³Neither^G3777 can^G1410 they prove^{G3936 G3165} the things^G4012 whereof^G3739 they^G2723 now^G3568 accuse^G2723 me^G3450.¹⁴But^G1161 this^G5124 I confess^G3670 unto thee^G4671, that^G3754 after^G2596 the way^G3598 which^G3739 they call^G3004 heresy^G139, so^G3779 worship I^G3000 the God^G2316 of my fathers^G3971, believing^G4100 all things^G3956 which^G3588 are written^G1125 in^G2596 the law^G3551 and^G2532 in^G1722 the prophets^G4396:¹⁵And have^G2192 hope^G1680 toward^G1519 God^G2316, which^G3739 they^G3778 themselves^G846 also^G2532 allow^G4327, that there shall be^{G3195 G1510} a resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498, both^G5037 of the just^G1342 and^G2532 unjust^G94.¹⁶And^G1161 herein^{G1722 G5129} do I exercise^G778 myself^G846, to have^G2192 always^G1275 a conscience^G4893 void of offence^G677 toward^G4314 God^G2316, and^G2532 toward men^G444.¹⁷Now^G1161 after^G1223 many^G4119 years^G2094 I came^G3854 to bring^G4160 alms^G1654 to^G1519 my^G3450 nation^G1484, and^G2532 offerings^G4376.^18G1161 Whereupon^{G1722 G3739} certain^G5100 Jews^G2453 from^G575 Asia^G773 found^G2147 me^G3165 purified^G48 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, neither^G3756 with^G3326 multitude^G3793, nor^G3761 with^G3326 tumult^G2351.¹⁹Who^G3739 ought^{G1163 G1163} to have been here^G3918 before^G1909 thee^G4675, and^G2532 object^G2723, if^G1536 they had^G2192 ought^G1536 against^G4314 me^G3165.²⁰Or else^G2228 let^G2036 these^G846 same^G3778 here say^G2036, if^G1536 they have found^G2147 any^G1536 evil doing^G92 in^G1722 me^G1698, while I^G3450 stood^G2476 before^G1909 the council^G4892,²¹Except^G2228 it be for^G4012 this^G5026 one^G3391 voice^G5456, that^G3739 I cried^G2896 standing^G2476 among^G1722 them^G846, Touching^{G3754 G4012} the resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498 I^G1473 am called in question^G2919 by^G5259 you^G5216 this day^G4594.²²And^G1161 when Felix^G5344 heard^G191 these things^G5023, having more perfect^G197 knowledge^G1492 of^G4012 that way^G3598, he deferred^G306 them^G846, and said^G2036, When^G3752 Lysias^G3079 the chief captain^G5506 shall come down^G2597, I will know the uttermost^G1231 of your^G5209 matter^G2596.²³And^G5037 he commanded^G1299 a centurion^G1543 to keep^G5083 Paul^G3972, and^G5037 to let him have^G2192 liberty^G425, and^G2532 that he should forbid^G2967 none^G3367 of his^G846 acquaintance^G2398 to minister^G5256 or^G2228 come^G4334 unto him^G846.²⁴And^G1161 after^G3326 certain^G5100 days^G2250, when Felix^G5344 came^G3854 with^G4862 his^G846 wife^G1135 Drusilla^G1409, which was^G5607 a Jewess^G2453, he sent for^G3343 Paul^G3972, and^G2532 heard^G191 him^G846 concerning^G4012 the faith^G4102 in^G1519 Christ^G5547.²⁵And^G1161 as he^G846 reasoned^G1256 of^G4012 righteousness^G1343, temperance^{G2532 G1466}, and^G2532 judgment^G2917 to come^{G3195 G1510}, Felix^G5344 trembled^{G1096 G1719}, and answered^G611, Go thy way^G4198 for this time^G3568; when^G1161 I have^{G2192 G3335} a convenient season^G2540, I will call for^G3333 thee^G4571.²⁶He hoped^G1679 also^{G260 G1161 G2532} that^G3754 money^G5536 should have been given^G1325 him^G846 of^G5259 Paul^G3972, that^G3704 he might loose^G3089 him^G846: wherefore^G1352 he sent for^G3343 him^G846 the oftener^G4437, and^G2532 communed with^G3656 him^G846.²⁷But^G1161 after^G4137 two years^G1333 Porcius^G4201 Festus^G5347 came^G2983 into Felix^G5344' room^G1240: and^G5037 Felix^G5344, willing^G2309 to shew^G2698 the Jews^G2453 a pleasure^G5485, left^G2641 Paul^G3972 bound^G1210.
