1 And 1161 Paul 3972, earnestly beholding 816 the council 4892, said 2036, Men 435 and brethren 80, I 1473 have lived 4176 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 them that stood by 3936 him 848 to smite 5180 him 846 on the mouth 4750.

3 Then 5119 said 2036 Paul 3972 unto 4314 him 846, God 2316 shall 3195 smite 5180 thee 4571, thou whited 2867 wall 5109: for 2532 sittest 2521 thou 4771 to judge 2919 me 3165 after 2596 the law 3551, and 2532 commandest 2753 me 3165 to be smitten 5180 contrary to the law 3891?

4 And 1161 they that stood by 3936 said 2036, Revilest thou 3058 God's 2316 high priest 749?

5 Then 5037 said 5346 Paul 3972, I wist 1492 not 3756, brethren 80, that 3754 he was 2076 the high priest 749: for 1063 it is written 1125, Thou shalt 2046 0 not 3756 speak 2046 evil 2560 of the ruler 758 of thy 4675 people 2992.

6 But 1161 when Paul 3972 perceived 1097 that 3754 the one 1520 part 3313 were 2076 Sadducees 4523, and 1161 the other 2087 Pharisees 5330, he cried out 2896 in 1722 the council 4892, Men 435 and brethren 80, I 1473 am 1510 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.

7 And 1161 when he had 2980 0 so 5124 said 2980, there arose 1096 a dissension 4714 between the Pharisees 5330 and 2532 the Sadducees 4523: and 2532 the multitude 4128 was divided 4977.

8 For 1063 3303 the Sadducees 4523 say 3004 that there is 1511 no 3361 resurrection 386, neither 3366 angel 32, nor 3383 spirit 4151: but 1161 the Pharisees 5330 confess 3670 both 297.

9 And 1161 there arose 1096 a great 3173 cry 2906: and 2532 the scribes 1122 that were of the Pharisees 5330' part 3313 arose 450, and strove 1264, saying 3004, We find 2147 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 to him 846, let us 2313 0 not 3361 fight 2313 against God.

10 And 1161 when there arose 1096 a great 4183 dissension 4714, the chief captain 5506, fearing 2125 lest 3361 Paul 3972 should have been pulled in pieces 1288 of 5259 them 846, commanded 2753 the soldiers 4753 to go down 2597, and to take 726 0 him 846 by force 726 from 1537 among 3319 them 846, and 5037 to bring 71 him into 1519 the castle 3925.

11 And 1161 the night 3571 following 1966 the Lord 2962 stood by 2186 him 846, and said 2036, Be of good cheer 2293, Paul 3972: for 1063 as 5613 thou hast testified 1263 of 4012 me 1700 in 1519 Jerusalem 2419, so 3779 must 1163 thou 4571 bear witness 3140 also 2532 at 1519 Rome 4516.

12 And 1161 when it was 1096 day 2250, certain 5100 of the Jews 2453 banded together 4160 4963, and bound 332 0 themselves 1438 under a curse 332, saying 3004 that they would 5315 0 neither 3383 eat 5315 nor 3383 drink 4095 till 2193 they had killed 615 Paul 3972.

13 And 1161 they were 2258 more than 4119 forty 5062 which 3588 had made 4160 this 5026 conspiracy 4945.

14 And they 3748 came to 4334 the chief priests 749 and 2532 elders 4245, and said 2036, We have bound 332 ourselves 1438 under a great curse 331, that we will eat 1089 nothing 3367 until 2193 3739 we have slain 615 Paul 3972.

15 Now 3568 therefore 3767 ye 5210 with 4862 the council 4892 signify 1718 to the chief captain 5506 that 3704 he bring 2609 0 him 846 down 2609 unto 4314 you 5209 to morrow 839, as 5613 though ye would 3195 enquire 1231 something more perfectly 197 concerning 4012 him 846: and 1161 we 2249, or ever 4253 he 846 come near 1448, are 2070 ready 2092 to kill 337 him 846.

16 And 1161 when Paul's 3972 sister's 79 son 5207 heard 191 of their lying in wait 1749, he went 3854 and 2532 entered 1525 into 1519 the castle 3925, and told 518 Paul 3972.

17 Then 1161 Paul 3972 called 4341 one 1520 of the centurions 1543 unto him, and said 5346, Bring 520 this 5126 young man 3494 unto 4314 the chief captain 5506: for 1063 he hath 2192 a certain thing 5100 to tell 518 him 846.

18 So 3767 3303 he took 3880 him 846, and brought 71 him to 4314 the chief captain 5506, and 2532 said 5346, Paul 3972 the prisoner 1198 called 4341 me 3165 unto him, and prayed me 2065 to bring 71 this 5126 young man 3494 unto 4314 thee 4571, who hath 2192 something 5100 to say 2980 unto thee 4671.

19 Then 1161 the chief captain 5506 took 1949 him 846 by the hand 5495, and 2532 went with him aside 402 privately 2596 2398, and asked 4441 him, What 5101 is 2076 that thou hast 2192 to tell 518 me 3427?

20 And 1161 he said 2036, 3754 The Jews 2453 have agreed 4934 to desire 2065 thee 4571 that 3704 thou wouldest bring down 2609 Paul 3972 to morrow 839 into 1519 the council 4892, as 5613 though they would 3195 enquire 4441 somewhat 5100 of 4012 him 846 more perfectly 197.

21 But 3767 do 3982 0 not 3361 thou 4771 yield 3982 unto them 846: for 1063 there lie in wait for 1748 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, that they will 5315 0 neither 3383 eat 5315 nor 3383 drink 4095 till 2193 they have killed 337 him 846: and 2532 now 3568 are they 1526 ready 2092, looking for 4327 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, and charged 3853 him, See thou tell 1583 no man 3367 that 3754 thou hast shewed 1718 these things 5023 to 4314 me 3165.

23 And 2532 he called unto 4341 him 5100 two 1417 centurions 1543, saying 2036, Make ready 2090 two hundred 1250 soldiers 4757 to 3704 go 4198 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 them beasts 2934, that 2443 they may set 1913 0 Paul 3972 on 1913, and bring him safe 1295 unto 4314 Felix 5344 the governor 2232.

25 And he wrote 1125 a letter 1992 after 4023 this 5126 manner 5179:

26 Claudius 2804 Lysias 3079 unto the most excellent 2903 governor 2232 Felix 5344 sendeth greeting 5463.

27 This 5126 man 435 was taken 4815 of 5259 the Jews 2453, and 2532 should 3195 have been killed 337 of 5259 them 846: then came I 2186 with 4862 an army 4753, and rescued 1807 him 846, having understood 3129 that 3754 he was 2076 a Roman 4514.

28 And 1161 when 1014 0 I would 1014 have known 1097 the cause 156 wherefore 1223 3739 they accused 1458 him 846, I brought 2609 0 him 846 forth 2609 into 1519 their 846 council 4892:

29 Whom 3739 I perceived 2147 to be accused 1458 of 4012 questions 2213 of their 846 law 3551, but 1161 to have 2192 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 me 3427 how that 5259 the Jews 2453 laid wait 1917 3195 1510 for 1519 the man 435, I sent 3992 straightway 1824 to 4314 thee 4571, and gave commandment 3853 to his accusers 2725 also 2532 to say 3004 before 1909 thee 4675 what they had against 4314 him 846. Farewell 4517.

31 Then 3767 3303 the soldiers 4757, as 2596 it was commanded 1299 them 846, took 353 Paul 3972, and brought 71 him by 1223 night 3571 to 1519 Antipatris 494.

32 1161 On the morrow 1887 they left 1439 the horsemen 2460 to go 4198 with 4862 him 846, and returned 5290 to 1519 the castle 3925:

33 Who 3748, when they came 1525 to 1519 Caesarea 2542, and 2532 delivered 325 the epistle 1992 to the governor 2232, presented 3936 Paul 3972 also 2532 before him 846.

34 And 1161 when the governor 2232 had read 314 the letter, 2532 he asked 1905 of 1537 what 4169 province 1885 he was 2076. And 2532 when he understood 4441 that 3754 he was of 575 Cilicia 2791;

35 I will hear 1251 thee 4675, said he 5346, when 3752 thine 4675 accusers 2725 are 3854 0 also 2532 come 3854. And 5037 he commanded 2753 him 846 to be kept 5442 in 1722 Herod's 2264 judgment hall 4232.
