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 23:10and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him to the castle.Acts 23:11And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, ‘Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.’Acts 23:12And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul;Acts 23:13and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,Acts 23:14who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, ‘With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves—to taste nothing till we have killed Paul;Acts 23:15now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.’Acts 23:16And the son of Paul’s sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul,Acts 23:17and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, ‘This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath something to tell him.’Acts 23:18He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, ‘The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked me this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.’Acts 23:19And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, ‘What is that which thou hast to tell me?’Acts 23:20and he said—‘The Jews agreed to request thee, that to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him;Acts 23:21thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves—not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.’Acts 23:22The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged him to tell no one, ‘that these things thou didst shew unto me;’Acts 23:23and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he said, ‘Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred, from the third hour of the night;Acts 23:24beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe unto Felix the governor;’Acts 23:25he having written a letter after this description:Acts 23:26‘Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail:Acts 23:27This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them—having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;Acts 23:28and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim,Acts 23:29whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;Acts 23:30and a plot having been intimated to me against this man—about to be of the Jews—at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.’Acts 23:31Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,Acts 23:32and on the morrow, having suffered the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the castle;Acts 23:33those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, did present also Paul to him.Acts 23:35‘I will hear thee—said he—when thine accusers also may have come;’ he also commanded him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.Acts 24:27and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.Acts 25:1Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,Acts 25:2and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him the things against Paul, and were calling on him,Acts 25:3asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.Acts 25:4Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,Acts 25:5‘Therefore those able among you—saith he—having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him;’Acts 25:6and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;Acts 25:7and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem—many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,Acts 25:8he making defence—‘Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar—did I commit any sin.’Acts 25:9And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, ‘Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?’Acts 25:10and Paul said, ‘At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;Acts 25:11for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!’Acts 25:12then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, ‘To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.’Acts 25:13And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,Acts 25:14and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, ‘There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,Acts 25:15about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,Acts 25:16unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against him.Acts 25:17They, therefore, having come together—I, making no delay, on the succeeding day having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought,Acts 25:18concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against him no accusation of the things I was thinking of,Acts 25:19but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;Acts 25:20and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things—Acts 25:21but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.’Acts 25:22And Agrippa said unto Festus, ‘I was wishing also myself to hear the man;’ and he said, ‘To-morrow thou shalt hear him;’Acts 25:23on the morrow, therefore—on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered—Paul was brought forth.Acts 25:24And Festus said, ‘King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;Acts 25:25and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,Acts 25:26concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;Acts 25:27for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.’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;
