1 # And <1161> Paul <3972>, earnestly beholding <816> (5660) the council <4892>, said <2036> (5627) , Men <435> and brethren <80>, I <1473> have lived <4176> (5769) in all <3956> good <18> conscience <4893> before God <2316> until <891> this <5026> day <2250>.
2 And <1161> the high priest <749> Ananias <367> commanded <2004> (5656) them that stood by <3936> (5761) him <846> to smite <5180> (5721) him <846> on the mouth <4750>.
3 Then <5119> said <2036> (5627) Paul <3972> unto <4314> him <846>, God <2316> shall <3195> (5719) smite <5180> (5721) thee <4571>, thou whited <2867> (5772) wall <5109>: for <2532> sittest <2521> (5736) thou <4771> to judge <2919> (5723) me <3165> after <2596> the law <3551> , and <2532> commandest <2753> (5719) me <3165> to be smitten <5180> (5745) contrary to the law <3891> (5723)?
4 And <1161> they that stood by <3936> (5761) said <2036> (5627), Revilest thou <3058> (5719) God's <2316> high priest <749>?
5 Then <5037> said <5346> (5713) Paul <3972>, I wist <1492> (5715) not <3756>, brethren <80>, that <3754> he was <2076> (5748) the high priest <749>: for <1063> it is written <1125> (5769), Thou shalt <2046> <0> not <3756> speak <2046> (5692) evil <2560> of the ruler <758> of thy <4675> people <2992>.
6 # But <1161> when Paul <3972> perceived <1097> (5631) that <3754> the one <1520> part <3313> were <2076> (5748) Sadducees <4523>, and <1161> the other <2087> Pharisees <5330>, he cried out <2896> (5656) in <1722> the council <4892>, Men <435> and brethren <80>, I <1473> am <1510> (5748) a Pharisee <5330>, the son <5207> of a Pharisee <5330>: of <4012> the hope <1680> and <2532> resurrection <386> of the dead <3498> I <1473> am called in question <2919> (5743).

7 And <1161> when he <846> had <2980> <0> so <5124> said <2980> (5660), there arose <1096> (5633) a dissension <4714> between the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> the Sadducees <4523>: and <2532> the multitude <4128> was divided <4977> (5681).
8 For <1063> <3303> the Sadducees <4523> say <3004> (5719) that there is <1511> (5750) no <3361> resurrection <386>, neither <3366> angel <32>, nor <3383> spirit <4151>: but <1161> the Pharisees <5330> confess <3670> (5719) both <297>.
9 And <1161> there arose <1096> (5633) a great <3173> cry <2906>: and <2532> the scribes <1122> that were of the Pharisees <5330>' part <3313> arose <450> (5631), and strove <1264> (5711), saying <3004> (5723), We find <2147> (5719) no <3762> evil <2556> in <1722> this <5129> man <444>: but <1161> if <1487> a spirit <4151> or <2228> an angel <32> hath spoken <2980> (5656) to him <846>, let us <2313> <0> not <3361> fight <2313> (5725) against God.

10 And <1161> when there arose <1096> (5637) a great <4183> dissension <4714>, the chief captain <5506> , fearing <2125> (5685) lest <3361> Paul <3972> should have been pulled in pieces <1288> (5686) of <5259> them <846>, commanded <2753> (5656) the soldiers <4753> to go down <2597> (5631), and to take <726> <0> him <846> by force <726> (5658) from <1537> among <3319> them <846>, and <5037> to bring <71> (5721) him into <1519> the castle <3925>.
11 And <1161> the night <3571> following <1966> (5752) the Lord <2962> stood by <2186> (5631) him <846>, and said <2036> (5627), Be of good cheer <2293> (5720), Paul <3972>: for <1063> as <5613> thou hast testified <1263> (5662) of <4012> me <1700> in <1519> Jerusalem <2419>, so <3779> must <1163> (5748) thou <4571> bear witness <3140> (5658) also <2532> at <1519> Rome <4516>.
12 # And <1161> when it was <1096> (5637) day <2250>, certain <5100> of the Jews <2453> banded together <4160> (5660) <4963>, and bound <332> <0> themselves <1438> under a curse <332> (5656), saying <3004> (5723) that they would <5315> <0> neither <3383> eat <5315> (5629) nor <3383> drink <4095> (5629) till <2193> <3739> they had killed <615> (5725) Paul <3972>.
13 And <1161> they were <2258> (5713) more than <4119> forty <5062> which <3588> had made <4160> (5761) this <5026> conspiracy <4945>.
14 And they <3748> came to <4334> (5631) the chief priests <749> and <2532> elders <4245>, and said <2036> (5627), We have bound <332> (5656) ourselves <1438> under a great curse <331>, that we will eat <1089> (5664) nothing <3367> until <2193> <3739> we have slain <615> (5725) Paul <3972>.
15 Now <3568> therefore <3767> ye <5210> with <4862> the council <4892> signify <1718> (5657) to the chief captain <5506> that <3704> he bring <2609> <0> him <846> down <2609> (5632) unto <4314> you <5209> to morrow <839>, as <5613> though ye would <3195> (5723) enquire <1231> (5721) something more perfectly <197> concerning <4012> him <846>: and <1161> we <2249>, or ever <4253> he <846> come near <1448> (5658), are <2070> (5748) ready <2092> to kill <337> (5629) him <846>.
16 And <1161> when Paul's <3972> sister's <79> son <5207> heard <191> (5660) of their lying in wait <1749>, he went <3854> (5637) and <2532> entered <1525> (5631) into <1519> the castle <3925>, and told <518> (5656) Paul <3972>.
17 Then <1161> Paul <3972> called <4341> (5666) one <1520> of the centurions <1543> unto him , and said <5346> (5713), Bring <520> (5628) this <5126> young man <3494> unto <4314> the chief captain <5506> : for <1063> he hath <2192> (5719) a certain thing <5100> to tell <518> (5658) him <846>.
18 So <3767> <3303> he took <3880> (5631) him <846>, and brought <71> (5627) him to <4314> the chief captain <5506>, and <2532> said <5346> (5748), Paul <3972> the prisoner <1198> called <4341> (5666) me <3165> unto him, and prayed me <2065> (5656) to bring <71> (5629) this <5126> young man <3494> unto <4314> thee <4571>, who hath <2192> (5723) something <5100> to say <2980> (5658) unto thee <4671>.
19 Then <1161> the chief captain <5506> took <1949> (5637) him <846> by the hand <5495>, and <2532> went with him aside <402> (5660) privately <2596> <2398>, and asked <4441> (5711) him, What <5101> is <2076> (5748) that <3739> thou hast <2192> (5719) to tell <518> (5658) me <3427>?
20 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627), <3754> The Jews <2453> have agreed <4934> (5639) to desire <2065> (5658) thee <4571> that <3704> thou wouldest bring down <2609> (5632) Paul <3972> to morrow <839> into <1519> the council <4892>, as <5613> though they would <3195> (5723) enquire <4441> (5738) somewhat <5100> of <4012> him <846> more perfectly <197>.
21 But <3767> do <3982> <0> not <3361> thou <4771> yield <3982> (5686) unto them <846>: for <1063> there lie in wait for <1748> (5719) him <846> of <1537> them <846> more than <4119> forty <5062> men <435>, which <3748> have bound <332> <0> themselves <1438> with an oath <332> (5656), that they will <5315> <0> neither <3383> eat <5315> (5629) nor <3383> drink <4095> (5629) till <2193> <3739> they have killed <337> (5661) him <846>: and <2532> now <3568> are they <1526> (5748) ready <2092>, looking for <4327> (5740) a promise <1860> from <575> thee <4675>.
22 So <3303> <3767> the chief captain <5506> then let <630> <0> the young man <3494> depart <630> (5656), and charged <3853> (5660) him, See thou tell <1583> (5658) no man <3367> that <3754> thou hast shewed <1718> (5656) these things <5023> to <4314> me <3165>.
23 And <2532> he called unto <4341> (5666) him <5100> two <1417> centurions <1543>, saying <2036> (5627), Make ready <2090> (5657) two hundred <1250> soldiers <4757> to <3704> go <4198> (5680) to <2193> Caesarea <2542>, and <2532> horsemen <2460> threescore and ten <1440>, and <2532> spearmen <1187> two hundred <1250>, at <575> the third <5154> hour <5610> of the night <3571>;
24 And <5037> provide <3936> (5658) them beasts <2934>, that <2443> they may set <1913> <0> Paul <3972> on <1913> (5660), and bring him safe <1295> (5661) unto <4314> Felix <5344> the governor <2232>.
25 And he wrote <1125> (5660) a letter <1992> after <4023> (5723) this <5126> manner <5179>:
26 Claudius <2804> Lysias <3079> unto the most excellent <2903> governor <2232> Felix <5344> sendeth greeting <5463> (5721).
27 This <5126> man <435> was taken <4815> (5685) of <5259> the Jews <2453>, and <2532> should <3195> (5723) have been killed <337> (5745) of <5259> them <846>: then came I <2186> (5631) with <4862> an army <4753>, and rescued <1807> (5639) him <846>, having understood <3129> (5631) that <3754> he was <2076> (5748) a Roman <4514>.
28 And <1161> when <1014> <0> I would <1014> (5740) have known <1097> (5629) the cause <156> wherefore <1223> <3739> they accused <1458> (5707) him <846>, I brought <2609> <0> him <846> forth <2609> (5627) into <1519> their <846> council <4892>:
29 Whom <3739> I perceived <2147> (5627) to be accused <1458> (5746) of <4012> questions <2213> of their <846> law <3551>, but <1161> to have <2192> (5723) nothing <3367> laid to his charge <1462> worthy <514> of death <2288> or <2228> of bonds <1199>.
30 And <1161> when it was told <3377> (5685) me <3427> how that <5259> the Jews <2453> laid wait <1917> <3195> (5721) <1510> (5705) for <1519> the man <435>, I sent <3992> (5656) straightway <1824> to <4314> thee <4571>, and gave commandment <3853> (5660) to his accusers <2725> also <2532> to say <3004> (5721) before <1909> thee <4675> what they had against <4314> him <846>. Farewell <4517> (5770) .
31 Then <3767> <3303> the soldiers <4757>, as <2596> it was commanded <1299> (5772) them <846> , took <353> (5631) Paul <3972>, and brought <71> (5627) him by <1223> night <3571> to <1519> Antipatris <494>.
32 <1161> On the morrow <1887> they left <1439> (5660) the horsemen <2460> to go <4198> (5738) with <4862> him <846>, and returned <5290> (5656) to <1519> the castle <3925>:
33 Who <3748>, when they came <1525> (5631) to <1519> Caesarea <2542>, and <2532> delivered <325> (5631) the epistle <1992> to the governor <2232>, presented <3936> (5656) Paul <3972> also <2532> before him <846>.
34 And <1161> when the governor <2232> had read <314> (5631) the letter, <2532> he asked <1905> (5660) of <1537> what <4169> province <1885> he was <2076> (5748). And <2532> when he understood <4441> (5637) that <3754> he was of <575> Cilicia <2791>;
35 I will hear <1251> (5695) thee <4675>, said he <5346> (5713), when <3752> thine <4675> accusers <2725> are <3854> <0> also <2532> come <3854> (5638). And <5037> he commanded <2753> (5656) him <846> to be kept <5442> (5733) in <1722> Herod's <2264> judgment hall <4232>.
