Kisah Para Rasul 24:12-27
24:12 They did not find me arguing
1 with anyone or stirring up a crowd
2 in the temple courts
3 or in the synagogues
4 or throughout the city,
5
24:13 nor can they prove
6 to you the things
7 they are accusing me of doing.
8
24:14 But I confess this to you, that I worship
9 the God of our ancestors
10 according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law
11 and that is written in the prophets.
24:15 I have
12 a hope in God (a hope
13 that
14 these men
15 themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
16
24:16 This is the reason
17 I do my best to always
18 have a clear
19 conscience toward God and toward people.
20
24:17 After several years
21 I came to bring to my people gifts for the poor
22 and to present offerings,
23
24:18 which I was doing when they found me in the temple, ritually purified,
24 without a crowd or a disturbance.
25
24:19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
26 who should be here before you and bring charges,
27 if they have anything against me.
24:20 Or these men here
28 should tell what crime
29 they found me guilty of
30 when I stood before the council,
31
24:21 other than
32 this one thing
33 I shouted out while I stood before
34 them: ‘I am on trial before you today concerning the resurrection of the dead.’”
35
24:22 Then Felix, 36 who understood the facts 37 concerning the Way 38 more accurately, 39 adjourned their hearing, 40 saying, “When Lysias the commanding officer comes down, I will decide your case.” 41
24:23 He ordered the centurion 42 to guard Paul, 43 but to let him have some freedom, 44 and not to prevent any of his friends 45 from meeting his needs. 46
Paul Speaks Repeatedly to Felix
24:24 Some days later, when Felix 47 arrived with his wife Drusilla, 48 who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him speak 49 about faith in Christ Jesus. 50
24:25 While Paul 51 was discussing 52 righteousness, self-control, 53 and the coming judgment, Felix 54 became 55 frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, 56 I will send for you.”
24:26 At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would give him money, 57 and for this reason he sent for Paul 58 as often as possible 59 and talked 60 with him.
24:27 After two years 61 had passed, Porcius Festus 62 succeeded Felix, 63 and because he wanted to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison. 64
