Acts 24:15-26

¹⁵Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.

¹⁶And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men.

¹⁷Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows.

¹⁸In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

¹⁹But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me:

²⁰Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council,

²¹Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you.

²²And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you.

²³And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him.

²⁴And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.

²⁵And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.

²⁶Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.
