Jeremiah 26:12And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the people, saying, ‘Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that ye have heard;Jeremiah 26:13And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent concerning the evil that He hath spoken against you.Jeremiah 26:14And I, lo, I am in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;Jeremiah 26:15Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.’Jeremiah 26:16And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and unto the prophets, ‘There is not for this man a judgment of death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto us.’Acts 4:8Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: ‘Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,Acts 4:9if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,Acts 4:10be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.Acts 4:11‘This is the stone that was set at nought by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;Acts 4:12and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.’Acts 4:13And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering—they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been—Acts 5:23saying—‘The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened—within we found no one.’Acts 5:24And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;Acts 5:25and coming near, a certain one told them, saying—‘Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;’Acts 5:26then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;Acts 5:27and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them,Acts 5:28saying, ‘Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.’Acts 5:29And Peter and the apostles answering, said, ‘To obey God it behoveth, rather than men;Acts 23:1And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, ‘Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;’Acts 23:2and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,Acts 23:3then Paul said unto him, ‘God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou—thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!’Acts 23:4And those who stood by said, ‘The chief priest of God dost thou revile?’Acts 23:5and Paul said, ‘I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;’Acts 23:6and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, ‘Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee—son of a Pharisee—concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.’Acts 24:10And Paul answered—the governor having beckoned to him to speak—‘Knowing that for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;Acts 24:11thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,Acts 24:12and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;Acts 24:13nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.Acts 24:14‘And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,Acts 24:15having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, that there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;Acts 24:16and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.Acts 24:17‘And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,Acts 24:18in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,Acts 24:19whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,Acts 24:20or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,Acts 24:21except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them—Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.’Acts 26:1And Agrippa said unto Paul, ‘It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;’ then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence:Acts 26:2‘Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, king Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a defence before thee to-day,Acts 26:3especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things—both customs and questions—among Jews; wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently to hear me.Acts 26:4‘The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth—which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem—know do all the Jews,Acts 26:5knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;Acts 26:6and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged,Acts 26:7to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews;Acts 26:8why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?Acts 26:9I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved me many things to do,Acts 26:10which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,Acts 26:11and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining them to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting them even unto strange cities.Acts 26:12‘In which things, also, going on to Damascus—with authority and commission from the chief priests—Acts 26:13at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light—and those going on with me;Acts 26:14and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick!Acts 26:15‘And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute;Acts 26:16but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things in which I will appear to thee,Acts 26:17delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee,Acts 26:18to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.Acts 26:19‘Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,Acts 26:20but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;Acts 26:21because of these things the Jews—having caught me in the temple—were endeavouring to kill me.Acts 26:22‘Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,Acts 26:23that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.’
