Acts 24:11-19

¹¹because you being able to know that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

¹²And they did not find me with anyone in the temple disputing, or inciting a crowd to rise up, neither in the synagogues nor in the city.

¹³Nor are they able to prove against me the things about which they are now accusing me.

¹⁴But I confess this to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing in all things which are written throughout the Law and in the Prophets,

¹⁵having hope in God, which even they themselves are waiting for, that there is going to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.

¹⁶And in this I myself am engaging, having a conscience blameless toward God and men through everything.

¹⁷“And after many years I arrived to bring alms and offerings to my nation,

¹⁸among whom some Jews from Asia found me, having been purified in the temple, not with a crowd nor with turmoil,

¹⁹who ought to be present before you and to make accusation if anything they might have against me.
