Acts 24 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers1 G1161 And G3326 after G4002 five G2250 days G367 Ananias G749 the high priest G2597 descended [G5627] G3326 with G4245 the elders G2532 , and G5100 with a certain G4489 orator G5061 named Tertullus G3748 , who G1718 informed [G5656] G2232 the governor G2596 against G3972 Paul. 2 G1161 And G846 when he G2564 was called forth [G5685] G5061 , Tertullus G756 began [G5662] G2723 to accuse [G5721] G3004 him, saying [G5723] G1223 , Seeing that by G4675 thee G5177 we enjoy [G5723] G4183 great G1515 quietness G2532 , and G2735 that very worthy deeds G1096 are done [G5740] G5129 unto this G1484 nation G1223 by G4674 thy G4307 providence, 3 G5037 G588 We accept [G5736] G3839 it always G2532 , and G3837 in all places G2903 , most noble G5344 Felix G3326 , with G3956 all G2169 thankfulness. 4 G1161 Notwithstanding G3363 , that G4119 I be G3363 not G1909 G4119 further G1465 tedious [G5725] G4571 unto thee G3870 , I pray [G5719] G4571 thee G191 that thou wouldest hear [G5658] G2257 us G4674 of thy G1932 clemency G4935 a few words. 5 G1063 For G2147 we have found [G5631] G5126 this G435 man G3061 a pestilent G2532 fellow, and G2795 a mover [G5723] G4714 of sedition G3956 among all G2453 the Jews G2596 throughout G3625 the world G5037 , and G4414 a ringleader G139 of the sect G3480 of the Nazarenes: 6 G3739 Who G2532 also G3985 hath gone about [G5707] G953 to profane [G5658] G2411 the temple G2532 : G3739 whom G2902 we took [G5656] G2532 , and G2309 would [G5656] G2919 have judged [G5721] G2596 according G2251 to our G3551 law. 7 G1161 But G5506 the chief captain G3079 Lysias G3928 came [G5631] G3326 upon us, and with G4183 great G970 violence G520 took him away [G5627] G1537 out of G2257 our G5495 hands, 8 G2753 Commanding [G5660] G846 his G2725 accusers G2064 to come [G5738] G1909 unto G4571 thee G350 : by examining [G5660] G3844 of G3739 whom G846 thyself G1410 mayest [G5695] G1921 take knowledge [G5629] G4012 of G3956 all G5130 these things G3739 , whereof G2249 we G2723 accuse [G5719] G846 him. 9 G1161 And G2453 the Jews G2532 also G4934 assented [G5639] G5335 , saying [G5723] G5023 that these things G2192 were [G5721] G3779 so. 10 G1161 Then G3972 Paul G2232 , after that the governor G3506 had beckoned [G5660] G846 unto him G3004 to speak [G5721] G611 , answered [G5662] G1987 , Forasmuch as I know [G5740] G4571 that thou G5607 hast been [G5752] G1537 of G4183 many G2094 years G2923 a judge G5129 unto this G1484 nation G626 , I do G2115 the more cheerfully G626 answer [G5736] G4012 for G1683 myself: 11 G4675 Because that thou G1410 mayest [G5740] G1097 understand [G5629] G3754 , that G1526 there are [G5748] G2228 yet but G3756 G1177 twelve G2250 days G4119 G575 since G3739 G3427 I G305 went up [G5627] G1722 to G2419 Jerusalem G4352 for to worship [G5694] . 12 G2532 And G3777 they neither G2147 found [G5627] G3165 me G1722 in G2411 the temple G1256 disputing [G5740] G4314 with G5100 any man G2228 , neither G1999 raising up G4160 [G5723] G3793 the people G1999 G3777 , neither G1722 in G4864 the synagogues G3777 , nor G2596 in G4172 the city: 13 G3777 Neither G1410 can [G5736] G3936 they prove [G5658] G3165 G4012 the things G3739 whereof G2723 they G3568 now G2723 accuse [G5719] G3450 me. 14 G1161 But G5124 this G3670 I confess [G5719] G4671 unto thee G3754 , that G2596 after G3598 the way G3739 which G3004 they call [G5719] G139 heresy G3779 , so G3000 worship I [G5719] G2316 the God G3971 of my fathers G4100 , believing [G5723] G3956 all things G3588 which G1125 are written [G5772] G2596 in G3551 the law G2532 and G1722 in G4396 the prophets: 15 G2192 And have [G5723] G1680 hope G1519 toward G2316 God G3739 , which G3778 they G846 themselves G2532 also G4327 allow [G5736] G3195 , that there shall be [G5721] G1510 [G5705] G386 a resurrection G3498 of the dead G5037 , both G1342 of the just G2532 and G94 unjust. 16 G1161 And G1722 herein G5129 G778 do I exercise [G5719] G846 myself G2192 , to have [G5721] G1275 always G4893 a conscience G677 void of offence G4314 toward G2316 God G2532 , and G444 toward men. 17 G1161 Now G1223 after G4119 many G2094 years G3854 I came [G5633] G4160 to bring [G5694] G1654 alms G1519 to G3450 my G1484 nation G2532 , and G4376 offerings. 18 G1161 G1722 Whereupon G3739 G5100 certain G2453 Jews G575 from G773 Asia G2147 found [G5627] G3165 me G48 purified [G5772] G1722 in G2411 the temple G3756 , neither G3326 with G3793 multitude G3761 , nor G3326 with G2351 tumult. 19 G3739 Who G1163 ought [G5748] [G5625] G1163 [G5713] G3918 to have been here [G5750] G1909 before G4675 thee G2532 , and G2723 object [G5721] G1536 , if G2192 they had [G5722] G1536 ought G4314 against G3165 me. 20 G2228 Or else G2036 let G846 these G3778 same G2036 here say [G5628] G1536 , if G2147 they have found [G5627] G1536 any G92 evil doing G1722 in G1698 me G3450 , while I G2476 stood [G5631] G1909 before G4892 the council, 21 G2228 Except G4012 it be for G5026 this G3391 one G5456 voice G3739 , that G2896 I cried [G5656] G2476 standing [G5761] G1722 among G846 them G3754 , Touching G4012 G386 the resurrection G3498 of the dead G1473 I G2919 am called in question [G5743] G5259 by G5216 you G4594 this day. 22 G1161 And G5344 when Felix G191 heard [G5660] G5023 these things G197 , having more perfect G1492 knowledge [G5761] G4012 of G3598 that way G306 , he deferred [G5639] G846 them G2036 , and said [G5631] G3752 , When G3079 Lysias G5506 the chief captain G2597 shall come down [G5632] G1231 , I will know the uttermost [G5695] G5209 of your G2596 matter. 23 G5037 And G1299 he commanded [G5671] G1543 a centurion G5083 to keep [G5745] G3972 Paul G5037 , and G2192 to let him have [G5721] G425 liberty G2532 , and G2967 that he should forbid [G5721] G3367 none G846 of his G2398 acquaintance G5256 to minister [G5721] G2228 or G4334 come [G5738] G846 unto him. 24 G1161 And G3326 after G5100 certain G2250 days G5344 , when Felix G3854 came [G5637] G4862 with G846 his G1135 wife G1409 Drusilla G5607 , which was [G5752] G2453 a Jewess G3343 , he sent for [G5662] G3972 Paul G2532 , and G191 heard [G5656] G846 him G4012 concerning G4102 the faith G1519 in G5547 Christ. 25 G1161 And G846 as he G1256 reasoned [G5740] G4012 of G1343 righteousness G2532 , temperance G1466 G2532 , and G2917 judgment G3195 to come [G5723] G1510 [G5705] G5344 , Felix G1096 trembled [G5637] G1719 G611 , and answered [G5662] G4198 , Go thy way [G5737] G3568 for this time G1161 ; when G2192 I have [G5723] G3335 [G5631] G2540 a convenient season G3333 , I will call for [G5698] G4571 thee. 26 G1679 He hoped [G5723] G260 also G1161 G2532 G3754 that G5536 money G1325 should have been given [G5701] G846 him G5259 of G3972 Paul G3704 , that G3089 he might loose [G5661] G846 him G1352 : wherefore G3343 he sent for [G5740] G846 him G4437 the oftener G2532 , and G3656 communed with [G5707] G846 him. 27 G1161 But G4137 after [G5685] G1333 two years G4201 Porcius G5347 Festus G2983 came [G5627] G5344 into Felix G1240 ' room G5037 : and G5344 Felix G2309 , willing [G5723] G2698 to shew [G5641] G2453 the Jews G5485 a pleasure G2641 , left [G5627] G3972 Paul G1210 bound [G5772] . |
