Acts 25:19-22 in English

¹⁹ but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

²⁰ And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.

²¹ But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Cæsar.

²² And Agrippa said unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.

¹⁹ But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

²² And Agrippa said unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.

¹⁹ Instead, what they argued about with him were some teachings that some Jews believe and others do not believe. They argued about a man whose name was Jesus who had died, but the man they were accusing, whose name is Paul, kept saying, ‘Jesus is alive again.’

²⁰ I did not know what questions to ask them, and I did not know how to judge concerning their dispute. So I asked Paul, ‘Are you (sg) willing to go back to Jerusalem and have the dispute between you and these Jews judged there {and let me judge there the dispute between you and these Jews}?’

²¹ But Paul answered, ‘ No. I am not willing to go to Jerusalem!

²² Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you will hear him.”

²² Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

¹⁹ But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

²⁰ And as I had not enough knowledge for the discussion of these things, I made the suggestion to him to go to Jerusalem and be judged there.

²¹ But when Paul made a request that he might be judged by Caesar, I gave orders for him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

²² And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

¹⁹ but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.

²⁰ And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?

²¹ But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.

²² And Agrippa said to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

¹⁹ But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

²⁰ I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.

²¹ But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.

²² And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

¹⁹ but had some questions against him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who had died, whom Paul professed to be alive.

²⁰ And being uncertain as to the investigation concerning this, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these charges.

²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I also was wishing to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

¹⁹ but had certain issues against him about their religion, and about a certain dead Jesus whom Paul affirmed to be living.

²⁰ And since I was at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be judged there concerning these things.

²¹ But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of the Emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I can send him to Caesar.”

²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I myself would also like to hear the man.” So he said, “Tomorrow you shall hear him.”

¹⁹ Instead they brought up controversies over religious questions, and over a man called Jesus who was dead but whom Paul insisted was alive.

²⁰ Since I was undecided as to how to proceed in investigating such matters, I asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there.

²¹ However, Paul appealed for his case to be heard by the emperor, so I ordered him detained until I could send him to Caesar.”

²² “I would like to hear the man myself,” Agrippa told Festus. “I'll arrange for you to hear him tomorrow,” Festus replied.

¹⁹ But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.

²⁰ And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.

²¹ But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.

²² Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.

¹⁹ but had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

²⁰ And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

²⁰ And I being at a loss about such questions, asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be put on trial for these matters.

²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, I should like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

¹⁹ but I found that there were certain questions in dispute between them about their own religion, and about some dead man called Jesus, whom Paul declared to be alive.

²⁰ And, as I was at a loss how to enquire into questions of this kind, I asked Paul if he were willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be put on trial there.

²¹ Paul, however, appealed to have his case reserved for the consideration of his August Majesty, so I ordered him to be detained in custody, until I could send him to the Emperor.”

²² “I should like to hear this man myself,” Agrippa said to Festus. “You will hear him tomorrow,” Festus answered.

²² “I should like to hear this man myself,” Agrippa said to Festus. “You will hear him tomorrow,” Festus answered.

¹⁹ They only talked about things that some Jews believe and other Jews don’t believe. They argued about a dead man called Jesus, and Paul kept saying, ‘Jesus is alive.’

²⁰ I really didn’t know the right way to handle this court. I didn’t know any questions to ask Paul, so I said to him, ‘Are you happy to go to Jerusalem and let me judge you there?’

²¹ But Paul said, ‘No, I’m not happy to go to Jerusalem. I want that biggest boss called Caesar, to judge me.’ So I told my soldiers to guard Paul here, until I can send him to Caesar, in Rome.”

²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, “Look, I’d like to hear that man myself.” Festus said, “All right, I’ll let you hear him tomorrow.”

¹⁹ but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.

¹⁹ Instead, they had certain disputes with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul claims to be alive.

²¹ But when Paul appealed to be kept in custody while awaiting the decision of the emperor, I ordered him to be held in custody until I could send him to Caesar.”

¹⁹ but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

²⁰ and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things —

²¹ but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.'

²² And Agrippa said unto Festus, 'I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, 'To-morrow thou shalt hear him;'
