Deeds (Act) of Apostles 24:6-21

⁶and he also enforced to defoul the temple; whom also we took (hold of), and would deem after our law. (and he also endeavored to defile the Temple; whom we then took hold of, and would judge according to our Law.)

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

⁸and commanded his accusers to come to thee, of whom thou deeming (or of whom thou judging), mayest know of all these things, of which we accuse him.

⁹And (the) Jews put to (or And the Jews agreed), 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. (And Paul answered, when the Governor allowed him to speak, For many years I know thee, that thou art the judge of these people, and I shall defend myself with sound reasoning.)

¹¹For thou mayest know, for to me be not more than twelve days or for to me be 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 (the) city;

¹³neither they may prove to thee, of the which things they now accuse me. (nor can they prove to thee, the things of which they now accuse me.)

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

¹⁵and I have hope in God, which also they themselves abide, the again-rising to coming of just men and wicked or the again-rising to come of just men and wicked. (and I have this hope in God, which they also wait for, yea, the resurrection to come of both the good or the righteous, and the wicked.)

¹⁶In this thing I study without hurting, to have conscience to God, and to men (for)evermore. (In this thing I work diligently, to always have a clear conscience before God, and before men.)

¹⁷But after many years, I came to do almsdeeds to my folk (or I came to give gifts of charity to my people), and offerings, and avows or and vows;

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

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

²⁰either these themselves say, if they (have) found in me anything of wickedness, 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 or For of the again-rising of (the) dead I am deemed this day of you. (but only because of this one thing, which I cried out while standing among them, yea, Because of the resurrection of the dead I am judged, or I am on trial, this day before you.)
