Acts Chapter 25 - King James Strong Number Version

1
Now <G3767> when Festus <G5347> was come <G1910> <G5631> into the province <G1885>, after <G3326> three <G5140> days <G2250> he ascended <G0305> <G5627> from <G0575> Caesarea <G2542> to <G1519> Jerusalem <G2414>.
2
Then <G1161> the high priest <G0749> and <G2532> the chief <G4413> of the Jews <G2453> informed him <G1718> <G5656> against <G2596> Paul <G3972>, and <G2532> besought <G3870> <G5707> him <G0846>,
3
And desired <G0154> <G5734> favour <G5485> against <G2596> him <G0846>, that <G3704> he would send for <G3343> <G5667> him <G0846> to <G1519> Jerusalem <G2419>, laying <G4160> <G5723> wait <G1747> in <G2596> the way <G3598> to kill <G0337> <G5629> him <G0846>.
4
But <G3303> <G3767> Festus <G5347> answered <G0611> <G5662>, that Paul <G3972> should be kept <G5083> <G5745> at <G1722> Caesarea <G2542>, and <G1161> that he himself <G1438> would <G3195> <G5721> depart <G1607> <G5738> <G1722> shortly <G5034> [thither].
5
Let them therefore <G3767>, said <G5346> <G5748> he, which among <G1722> you <G5213> are able <G1415>, go down with <G4782> <G5631> [me], and accuse <G2723> <G5720> this <G0846> man <G0435>, if <G1536> <G0000> there be <G2076> <G5748> any <G1536> wickedness in <G1722> him <G5129>.
6
And <G1161> when he had tarried <G1304> <G5660> among <G1722> them <G0846> more <G4119> than <G2228> ten <G1176> days <G2250>, he went down <G2597> <G5631> unto <G1519> Caesarea <G2542>; and the next day <G1887> sitting <G2523> <G5660> on <G1909> the judgment seat <G0968> commanded <G2753> <G5656> Paul <G3972> to be brought <G0071> <G5683>.
7
And <G1161> when he <G0846> was come <G3854> <G5637>, the Jews <G2453> which came down <G2597> <G5761> from <G0575> Jerusalem <G2414> stood round about <G4026> <G5627>, and <G2532> laid <G5342> <G5723> many <G4183> and grievous <G0926> complaints <G0157> against <G2596> Paul <G3972>, which <G3739> they could <G2480> <G5707> not <G3756> prove <G0584> <G5658>.
8
While he answered <G0626> <G5740> for himself <G0846>, Neither <G3754> <G3777> against <G1519> the law <G3551> of the Jews <G2453>, neither <G3777> against <G1519> the temple <G2411>, nor yet <G3777> against <G1519> Caesar <G2541>, have I offended <G0264> <G5627> any thing at all <G5100>.
9
But <G1161> Festus <G5347>, willing <G2309> <G5723> to do <G2698> <G5641> the Jews <G2453> a pleasure <G5485>, answered <G0611> <G5679> Paul <G3972>, and said <G2036> <G5627>, Wilt thou <G2309> <G5719> go up <G0305> <G5631> to <G1519> Jerusalem <G2414>, and there <G1563> be judged <G2919> <G5745> of <G4012> these things <G5130> before <G1909> me <G1700>?
10
Then <G1161> said <G2036> <G5627> Paul <G3972>, I stand <G1510> <G5748> <G2476> <G5761> at <G1909> Caesar's <G2541> judgment seat <G0968>, where <G3757> I <G3165> ought <G1163> <G5748> to be judged <G2919> <G5745>: to the Jews <G2453> have I done <G0091> <G0000> no <G3762> wrong <G0091> <G5656>, as <G5613> <G2532> thou <G4771> very well <G2566> <G2573> knowest <G1921> <G5719>.
11
For <G1063> if <G1487> <G3303> I be an offender <G0091> <G5719>, or <G2532> have committed <G4238> <G5758> any thing <G5100> worthy <G0514> of death <G2288>, I refuse <G3868> <G5736> not <G3756> to die <G0599> <G5629>: but <G1161> if <G1487> there be <G2076> <G5748> none <G3762> of these things whereof these <G3778> accuse <G2723> <G5719> me <G3450>, no man <G3762> may <G1410> <G5736> deliver <G5483> <G5664> me <G3165> unto them <G0846>. I appeal unto <G1941> <G5731> Caesar <G2541>.
12
Then <G5119> Festus <G5347>, when he had conferred <G4814> <G5660> with <G3326> the council <G4824>, answered <G0611> <G5662>, Hast thou appealed unto <G1941> <G5764> Caesar <G2541>? unto <G1909> Caesar <G2541> shalt thou go <G4198> <G5695>.
13
And <G1161> after <G1230> <G5637> certain <G5100> days <G2250> king <G0935> Agrippa <G0067> and <G2532> Bernice <G0959> came <G2658> <G5656> unto <G1519> Caesarea <G2542> to salute <G0782> <G5697> Festus <G5347>.
14
And <G1161> when <G5613> they had been <G1304> <G5707> there <G1563> many <G4119> days <G2250>, Festus <G5347> declared <G0394> <G5639> Paul's <G3972> cause <G2596> unto the king <G0935>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, There is <G2076> <G5748> a certain <G5100> man <G0435> left <G2641> <G5772> in bonds <G1198> by <G5259> Felix <G5344>:
15
About <G4012> whom <G3739>, when <G1096> <G0000> I <G3450> was <G1096> <G5637> at <G1519> Jerusalem <G2414>, the chief priests <G0749> and <G2532> the elders <G4245> of the Jews <G2453> informed <G1718> <G5656> [me], desiring <G0154> <G5734> [to have] judgment <G1349> against <G2596> him <G0846>.
16
To <G4314> whom <G3739> I answered <G0611> <G5662>, <G3754> It is <G2076> <G5748> not <G3756> the manner <G1485> of the Romans <G4514> to deliver <G5483> <G5738> any <G5100> man <G0444> to <G1519> die <G0684>, before <G4250> that <G2228> he which is accused <G2723> <G5746> have <G2192> <G5722> the accusers <G2725> face to face <G2596> <G4383>, and have <G2983> <G5630> licence <G5117> to answer for himself <G0627> concerning <G4012> the crime laid against him <G1462>.
17
Therefore <G3767>, when they <G0846> were come <G4905> <G5631> hither <G1759>, without <G4160> <G5671> any <G3367> delay <G0311> on the morrow <G1836> I sat <G2523> <G5660> on <G1909> the judgment seat <G0968>, and commanded <G2753> <G5656> the man <G0435> to be brought forth <G0071> <G5683>.
18
Against <G4012> whom <G3739> when the accusers <G2725> stood up <G2476> <G5685>, they brought <G2018> <G5707> none <G3762> accusation <G0156> of such things as <G3739> I <G1473> supposed <G5282> <G5707>:
19
But <G1161> had <G2192> <G5707> certain <G5100> questions <G2213> against <G4314> him <G0846> of <G4012> their own <G2398> superstition <G1175>, and <G2532> of <G4012> one <G5100> Jesus <G2424>, which was dead <G2348> <G5761>, whom <G3739> Paul <G3972> affirmed <G5335> <G5707> to be alive <G2198> <G5721>.
20
And <G1161> because I <G1473> doubted <G0639> <G5734> of <G1519> such <G5127> manner <G4012> of questions <G2214>, I asked <G3004> <G5707> [him] whether <G1487> he would <G1014> <G5739> go <G4198> <G5738> to <G1519> Jerusalem <G2419>, and there <G2546> be judged <G2919> <G5745> of <G4012> these matters <G5130>.
21
But <G1161> when Paul <G3972> had appealed <G1941> <G5671> to be reserved <G5083> <G5683> <G0846> unto <G1519> the hearing <G1233> of Augustus <G4575>, I commanded <G2753> <G5656> him <G0848> to be kept <G5083> <G5745> till <G2193> I might send <G3992> <G5661> him <G0846> to <G4314> Caesar <G2541>.
22
Then <G1161> Agrippa <G0067> said <G5346> <G5713> unto <G4314> Festus <G5347>, I would <G1014> <G5711> also <G2532> hear <G0191> <G5658> the man <G0444> myself <G0846>. To morrow <G0839>, <G1161> said <G5346> <G5748> he, thou shalt hear <G0191> <G5695> him <G0846>.
23
And on the morrow <G1887>, when <G3767> Agrippa <G0067> was come <G2064> <G5631>, and <G2532> Bernice <G0959>, with <G3326> great <G4183> pomp <G5325>, and <G2532> was entered <G1525> <G5631> into <G1519> the place of hearing <G0201>, with <G4862> <G5037> the chief captains <G5506>, and <G2532> principal <G1851> men <G0435> of <G5607> <G5752> the city <G4172> <G2596>, at <G2532> Festus <G5347>' commandment <G2753> <G5660> Paul <G3972> was brought forth <G0071> <G5681>.
24
And <G2532> Festus <G5347> said <G5346> <G5748>, King <G0935> Agrippa <G0067>, and <G2532> all <G3956> men <G0435> which <G3588> are here present <G4840> <G5752> with us <G2254>, ye see <G2334> <G5719> <G5720> this man <G5126>, about <G4012> whom <G3739> all <G3956> the multitude <G4128> of the Jews <G2453> have dealt <G1793> <G5627> with me <G3427>, both <G5037> at <G1722> Jerusalem <G2414>, and <G2532> [also] here <G1759>, crying <G1916> <G5723> that he ought <G1163> <G5750> not <G3361> to live <G2198> <G5721> any longer <G3371>.
25
But <G1161> when I <G1473> found <G2638> <G5642> that he had committed <G4238> <G5760> nothing <G3367> worthy <G0514> of death <G2288>, and <G2532> <G1161> that he himself <G0846> hath appealed <G5127> to <G1941> <G5671> Augustus <G4575>, I have determined <G2919> <G5656> to send <G3992> <G5721> him <G0846>.
26
Of <G4012> whom <G3739> I have <G2192> <G5719> no <G3756> certain <G0804> thing <G5100> to write <G1125> <G5658> unto my lord <G2962>. Wherefore <G1352> I have brought <G4254> <G0000> him <G0846> forth <G4254> <G5627> before <G1909> you <G5216>, and <G2532> specially <G3122> before <G1909> thee <G4675>, O king <G0935> Agrippa <G0067>, that <G3704>, after examination <G0351> had <G1096> <G5637>, I might have <G2192> <G5632> somewhat <G5100> to write <G1125> <G5658>.
27
For <G1063> it seemeth <G1380> <G5719> to me <G3427> unreasonable <G0249> to send <G3992> <G5723> a prisoner <G1198>, and <G2532> not withal <G3361> to signify <G4591> <G5658> the crimes <G0156> [laid] against <G2596> him <G0846>.
