Acts 24:15-26

¹⁵and have hope towardes God that the same resurreccion from deeth (which they them selves loke for also) shalbe both of iust and vniust.

¹⁶And therfore stody I to have a cleare consciece towarde God and toward man also.

¹⁷But after many yeres I came and brought almes to my people and offeringes in the which they founde me purified in the temple nether with multitude nor yet with vnquyetnes.

¹⁸Howbeit there were certayne Iewes out of Asia

¹⁹which ought to be here present before the and accuse me yf they had ought agaynst me:

²⁰or els let these same here saye if they have founde eny evyll doinge in me whill I stonde here in the counsell:

²¹except it be for this one voyce that I cryed stondinge amonge the of the resurreccion from deeth am I iudged of you this daye.

²²When Felix hearde these thinges he deferde them for he knewe very well of that waye and sayde: when Lisias the captayne is come I will know the vtmost of youre matters.

²³And he commaunded an vndercaptayne to kepe Paul and that he shuld have rest and that he shuld forbyd none of his aquayntauce to minister vnto him or to come vnto him.

²⁴And after a certayne dayes came Felix and his wyfe Drusilla which was a Iewas and called forth Paul and hearde him of the fayth which is toward Christ.

²⁵And as he preached of righteousnes temperaunce and iudgement to come Felix trembled and answered: thou hast done ynough at this tyme departe when I have a conveniet tyme I will sende for the.

²⁶He hoped also that money shuld have bene geven him of Paul that he myght lowse him: wherfore he called him the oftener and comened with him.
