Deeds (Act) of Apostles 24:6-21

⁶and he also endeavoured to defoul the temple; whom also we took, and would deem after our law.

⁷But Lysias, the tribune, came above with great strength, and delivered him from or out of our hands;

⁸and commanded his accusers to come to thee, of whom thou deem-ing, mayest know of all these things, of which we accuse him.

⁹And Jews put to, and said, that these things had them so.

¹⁰And Paul answered, when the president granted him to say, Of many years I know thee, that thou art doomsman to this folk, and I shall do enough for me with good reason.

¹¹For thou mayest know, for to me be not more or no more than twelve days, since I came up to worship in Jerusalem;

¹²and neither in the temple they found me disputing with any man, neither making concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, neither in city;

¹³neither they may prove to thee, of the which things they now accuse me.

¹⁴But I acknowledge to thee this thing, that after the sect which they say heresy, so I serve to God the Father, believing to all things that be written in the law and prophets;

¹⁵and I have hope in God, which also they themselves abide, the again-rising to coming or to come of just men and wicked.

¹⁶In this thing I study without hurting, to have conscience to God, and to men evermore.

¹⁷But after many years, I came to do alms-deeds to my folk, and offerings, and avows or vows;

¹⁸in which they found me purified in the temple, not with company, neither with noise. And they caught me, and they cried, and said, Take away our enemy. And some Jews of Asia,

¹⁹which or whom it behooved to be now present at thee, and accuse, if they had anything against me,

²⁰either these themselves say, if they found in me anything of wicked-ness, since I stand in the council,

²¹but only of this one voice, by which I cried standing among them, For of the again-rising of dead men I am deemed this day of you.
