Acts Chapter 24 - King James Strong Number Version

1
And <G1161> after <G3326> five <G4002> days <G2250> Ananias <G0367> the high priest <G0749> descended <G2597> <G5627> with <G3326> the elders <G4245>, and <G2532> [with] a certain <G5100> orator <G4489> [named] Tertullus <G5061>, who <G3748> informed <G1718> <G5656> the governor <G2232> against <G2596> Paul <G3972>.
2
And <G1161> when he was called forth <G2564> <G5685>, Tertullus <G5061> began <G0756> <G5662> to accuse <G2723> <G5721> [him], saying <G3004> <G5723>, Seeing that by <G1223> thee <G4675> we enjoy <G5177> <G5723> great <G4183> quietness <G1515>, and <G2532> that very worthy deeds <G2735> are done <G1096> <G5740> unto this <G5129> nation <G1484> by <G1223> thy <G4674> providence <G4307>,
3
We accept <G0588> <G5736> [it] always <G3839>, and <G2532> in all places <G3837>, most noble <G2903> Felix <G5344>, with <G3326> all <G3956> thankfulness <G2169>.
4
Notwithstanding <G1161>, that <G3363> <G0000> I be <G4119> <G0000> not <G3363> <G1909> further <G4119> tedious <G1465> <G5725> unto thee <G4571>, I pray <G3870> <G5719> thee <G4571> that thou wouldest hear <G0191> <G5658> us <G2257> of thy <G4674> clemency <G1932> a few words <G4935>.
5
For <G1063> we have found <G2147> <G5631> this <G5126> man <G0435> [a] pestilent <G3061> [fellow], and <G2532> a mover <G2795> <G5723> of sedition <G4714> among all <G3956> the Jews <G2453> throughout <G2596> the world <G3625>, and <G5037> a ringleader <G4414> of the sect <G0139> of the Nazarenes <G3480>:
6
Who <G3739> also <G2532> hath gone about <G3985> <G5707> to profane <G0953> <G5658> the temple <G2411>: <G2532> whom <G3739> we took <G2902> <G5656>, and <G2532> would <G2309> <G5656> have judged <G2919> <G5721> according <G2596> to our <G2251> law <G3551>.
7
But <G1161> the chief captain <G5506> Lysias <G3079> came <G3928> <G5631> [upon us], and with <G3326> great <G4183> violence <G0970> took [him] away <G0520> <G5627> out of <G1537> our <G2257> hands <G5495>,
8
Commanding <G2753> <G5660> his <G0846> accusers <G2725> to come <G2064> <G5738> unto <G1909> thee <G4571>: by examining <G0350> <G5660> of <G3844> whom <G3739> thyself <G0846> mayest <G1410> <G5695> take knowledge <G1921> <G5629> of <G4012> all <G3956> these things <G5130>, whereof <G3739> we <G2249> accuse <G2723> <G5719> him <G0846>.
9
And <G1161> the Jews <G2453> also <G2532> assented <G4934> <G5639>, saying <G5335> <G5723> that these things <G5023> were <G2192> <G5721> so <G3779>.
10
Then <G1161> Paul <G3972>, after that the governor <G2232> had beckoned <G3506> <G5660> unto him <G0846> to speak <G3004> <G5721>, answered <G0611> <G5662>, Forasmuch as I know <G1987> <G5740> that thou <G4571> hast been <G5607> <G5752> of <G1537> many <G4183> years <G2094> a judge <G2923> unto this <G5129> nation <G1484>, I do <G0626> <G0000> the more cheerfully <G2115> answer <G0626> <G5736> for <G4012> myself <G1683>:
11
Because that thou <G4675> mayest <G1410> <G5740> understand <G1097> <G5629>, that <G3754> there are <G1526> <G5748> yet but <G2228> <G3756> twelve <G1177> days <G2250> <G4119> since <G0575> <G3739> I <G3427> went up <G0305> <G5627> to <G1722> Jerusalem <G2419> for to worship <G4352> <G5694>.
12
And <G2532> they neither <G3777> found <G2147> <G5627> me <G3165> in <G1722> the temple <G2411> disputing <G1256> <G5740> with <G4314> any man <G5100>, neither <G2228> raising up <G1999> <G0000> <G4160> <G5723> the people <G3793> <G1999>, neither <G3777> in <G1722> the synagogues <G4864>, nor <G3777> in <G2596> the city <G4172>:
13
Neither <G3777> can <G1410> <G5736> they prove <G3936> <G5658> <G3165> the things <G4012> whereof <G3739> they <G2723> <G0000> now <G3568> accuse <G2723> <G5719> me <G3450>.
14
But <G1161> this <G5124> I confess <G3670> <G5719> unto thee <G4671>, that <G3754> after <G2596> the way <G3598> which <G3739> they call <G3004> <G5719> heresy <G0139>, so <G3779> worship I <G3000> <G5719> the God <G2316> of my fathers <G3971>, believing <G4100> <G5723> all things <G3956> which <G3588> are written <G1125> <G5772> in <G2596> the law <G3551> and <G2532> in <G1722> the prophets <G4396>:
15
And have <G2192> <G5723> hope <G1680> toward <G1519> God <G2316>, which <G3739> they <G3778> themselves <G0846> also <G2532> allow <G4327> <G5736>, that there shall be <G3195> <G5721> <G1510> <G5705> a resurrection <G0386> of the dead <G3498>, both <G5037> of the just <G1342> and <G2532> unjust <G0094>.
16
And <G1161> herein <G1722> <G5129> do I exercise <G0778> <G5719> myself <G0846>, to have <G2192> <G5721> always <G1275> a conscience <G4893> void of offence <G0677> toward <G4314> God <G2316>, and <G2532> [toward] men <G0444>.
17
Now <G1161> after <G1223> many <G4119> years <G2094> I came <G3854> <G5633> to bring <G4160> <G5694> alms <G1654> to <G1519> my <G3450> nation <G1484>, and <G2532> offerings <G4376>.
18
Whereupon <G1722> <G3739> certain <G5100> Jews <G2453> from <G0575> Asia <G0773> found <G2147> <G5627> me <G3165> purified <G0048> <G5772> in <G1722> the temple <G2411>, neither <G3756> with <G3326> multitude <G3793>, nor <G3761> with <G3326> tumult <G2351>.
19
Who <G3739> ought <G1163> <G5748> <G5625> <G1163> <G5713> to have been here <G3918> <G5750> before <G1909> thee <G4675>, and <G2532> object <G2723> <G5721>, if <G1536> <G0000> they had <G2192> <G5722> ought <G1536> against <G4314> me <G3165>.
20
Or else <G2228> let <G2036> <G0000> these same <G3778> [here] say <G2036> <G5628>, if <G1536> <G0000> they have found <G2147> <G5627> any <G1536> evil doing <G0092> in <G1722> me <G1698>, while I <G3450> stood <G2476> <G5631> before <G1909> the council <G4892>,
21
Except <G2228> it be for <G4012> this <G5026> one <G3391> voice <G5456>, that <G3739> I cried <G2896> <G5656> standing <G2476> <G5761> among <G1722> them <G0846>, Touching <G3754> <G4012> the resurrection <G0386> of the dead <G3498> I <G1473> am called in question <G2919> <G5743> by <G5259> you <G5216> this day <G4594>.
22
And <G1161> when Felix <G5344> heard <G0191> <G5660> these things <G5023>, having more perfect <G0197> knowledge <G1492> <G5761> of <G4012> [that] way <G3598>, he deferred <G0306> <G5639> them <G0846>, and said <G2036> <G5631>, When <G3752> Lysias <G3079> the chief captain <G5506> shall come down <G2597> <G5632>, I will know the uttermost <G1231> <G5695> of your <G5209> matter <G2596>.
23
And <G5037> he commanded <G1299> <G5671> a centurion <G1543> to keep <G5083> <G5745> Paul <G3972>, and <G5037> to let [him] have <G2192> <G5721> liberty <G0425>, and <G2532> that he should forbid <G2967> <G5721> none <G3367> of his <G0846> acquaintance <G2398> to minister <G5256> <G5721> or <G2228> come <G4334> <G5738> unto him <G0846>.
24
And <G1161> after <G3326> certain <G5100> days <G2250>, when Felix <G5344> came <G3854> <G5637> with <G4862> his <G0848> wife <G1135> Drusilla <G1409>, which was <G5607> <G5752> a Jewess <G2453>, he sent for <G3343> <G5662> Paul <G3972>, and <G2532> heard <G0191> <G5656> him <G0846> concerning <G4012> the faith <G4102> in <G1519> Christ <G5547>.
25
And <G1161> as he reasoned <G1256> <G5740> of <G4012> righteousness <G1343>, temperance <G2532> <G1466>, and <G2532> judgment <G2917> to come <G3195> <G5723> <G1510> <G5705>, Felix <G5344> trembled <G1096> <G5637> <G1719>, and answered <G0611> <G5662>, Go thy way <G4198> <G5737> for this time <G3568>; when <G1161> I have <G2192> <G5723> <G3335> <G5631> a convenient season <G2540>, I will call for <G3333> <G5698> thee <G4571>.
26
He hoped <G1679> <G5723> also <G0260> <G1161> <G2532> that <G3754> money <G5536> should have been given <G1325> <G5701> him <G0846> of <G5259> Paul <G3972>, that <G3704> he might loose <G3089> <G5661> him <G0846>: wherefore <G1352> he sent for <G3343> <G5740> him <G0846> the oftener <G4437>, and <G2532> communed with <G3656> <G5707> him <G0846>.
27
But <G1161> after <G4137> <G5685> two years <G1333> Porcius <G4201> Festus <G5347> came <G2983> <G5627> into Felix <G5344>' room <G1240>: and <G5037> Felix <G5344>, willing <G2309> <G5723> to shew <G2698> <G5641> the Jews <G2453> a pleasure <G5485>, left <G2641> <G5627> Paul <G3972> bound <G1210> <G5772>.
