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.
