Acts 24:11-19

¹¹As thou mayest know that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem,

¹²and neither in the temple did they find me discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;

¹³neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me.

¹⁴But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets;

¹⁵having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust.

¹⁶For this cause I also exercise myself to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men.

¹⁷And after a lapse of many years I arrived, bringing alms to my nation, and offerings.

¹⁸Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was certain Jews from Asia,

¹⁹who ought to appear before thee and accuse, if they have anything against me;
