Acts 24:18-23

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.

²⁰Or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me, when I stood before the council,

²¹unless it is because of this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you today.’ ”

²²And when he heard these things, Felix adjourned them, knowing more accurately the things concerning the Way, and said, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.”

²³And ordering the centurion to keep watch over Paul and to let him have some liberty, and not to forbid any of his own to serve or to come to him.
