Acts 24:10-21

Living_Oracles(i) 10 Then Paul, after the governor had made a signal to him to speak, answered, Knowing that you, O Felix! have been for several years a judge to this nation, I answer for myself with the more cheerfulness; 11 since you may know that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem; 12 and they neither found me disputing with any man in the temple, nor making any insurrection among the people, either in the synagogues, or in the city: 13 nor can they produce any proof of the things concerning which they now accuse me. 14 But this I confess to you, that after the way which they call a sect, so worship I the God of our fathers; believing all things which are written in the law, and in the prophets; 15 having hope toward God, of that which they themselves also expect, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust. 16 And upon this account, I exercise myself to have always a conscience without offense toward God, and toward men. 17 Now, after several years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings: 18 upon which some Asiatic Jews found me purified in the temple; neither with multitude nor with tumult; 19 who ought to have been present before you, and to accuse me, if they had anything against me: 20 or let these themselves say, if, when I stood before the Sanhedrim, 21 they found any crime in me; unless it be with relation to this one word, which I expressed, when I stood among them-that, for the resurrection of the dead, I am judged by you this day.
