  1 G1161   G3972 Paul, G816 looking G4892 steadfastly at the council, G2036 said, G435   G80 "Brothers, G1473 I G4176 have lived G2316 before God G3956 in all G18 good G4893 conscience G891 until G3778 this G2250 day."
  2 G1161 The G749 high priest, G367 Ananias, G2004 commanded G3588 those who G3936 stood by G846 him G5180 to strike G846 him G4750 on the mouth.
  3 G5119 Then G3972 Paul G2036 said G4314 to G846 him, G2316 "God G3195 will G5180 strike G4571 you, G2867 you whitewashed G5109 wall! G2532   G4771 Do you G2521 sit G2919 to judge G3165 me G2596 according G3551 to the law, G2532 and G2753 command G3165 me G5180 to be struck G3891 contrary to the law?"
  4 G1161 Those G3588 who G3936 stood by G2036 said, G3058 "Do you malign G2316 God's G749 high priest?"
  5 G5037   G3972 Paul G5346 said, G3756 "I didn't G1492 know, G80 brothers, G3754 that G2076 he was G749 high priest. G1063 For G1125 it is written, G2046 ‘You shall G3756 not G2046 speak G2560 evil G758 of a ruler G4675 of your G2992 people.'"
  6 G1161 But G3972 when Paul G1097 perceived G3754 that G1520 the one G3313 part G2076 were G4523 Sadducees G1161 and G2087 the other G5330 Pharisees, G2896 he cried out G1722 in G4892 the council, G435 "Men G80 and brothers, G1473 I G1510 am G5330 a Pharisee, G5207 a son G4012 of G5330 Pharisees. G1680 Concerning the hope G2532 and G386 resurrection G4012 of G3498 the dead G1473 I am being judged!"
  7 G1161   G5124 When G846 he G2980 had said G4714 this, an argument G1096 arose G5330 between the Pharisees G2532 and G4523 Sadducees, G2532 and G4128 the assembly G4977 was divided.
  8 G1063 For G4523 the Sadducees G3303   G3004 say that G1511 there is G3361 no G386 resurrection, G3383 nor G32 angel, G3383 nor G4151 spirit; G1161 but G5330 the Pharisees G3670 confess G297 all of these.
  9 G1161 A G3173 great G1096 clamor arose, G1161 and G1122 some of the scribes G5330 of the Pharisees G3313 part G450 stood up, G1264 and contended, G3004 saying, G2147 "We find G3762 no G2556 evil G1722 in G5129 this G444 man. G1161 But G1487 if G4151 a spirit G2228 or G32 angel G2980 has spoken G846 to him, G2313 let's G3361 not G2313 fight against God!"
  10 G1161 When G4183 a great G4714 argument G1096 arose, G5506 the commanding officer, G2125 fearing G3361 that G3972 Paul G1288 would be torn in pieces G5259 by G846 them, G2753 commanded G4753 the soldiers G2597 to go down G726 and take G846 him G726 by force G1537 from G3319 among G846 them, G5037 and G71 bring G1519 him into G3925 the barracks.
  11 G1161 The G1966 following G3571 night, G2962 the Lord G2186 stood G846 by him, G2036 and said, G2293 "Cheer G3972 up, Paul, G1063 for G5613 as G1263 you have testified G4012 about G1700 me G1519 at G2419 Jerusalem, G3779 so G4571 you G1163 must G3140 testify G2532 also G1519 at G4516 Rome."
  12 G1161 When G1096 it was G2250 day, G5100 some G2453 of the Jews G4160 banded G4963 together, G332 and bound G1438 themselves G332 under a curse, G3004 saying that G5315 they would G3383 neither G5315 eat G3383 nor G4095 drink G2193 until G3739 they G615 had killed G3972 Paul.
  13 G1161   G2258 There were G4119 more G5062 than forty G3588 people who G4160 had made G3778 this G4945 conspiracy.
  14 G3748 They G4334 came G749 to the chief priests G2532 and G4245 the elders, G2036 and said, G332 "We have bound G1438 ourselves G3739 under a G331 great curse, G1089 to taste G3367 nothing G2193 until G615 we have killed G3972 Paul.
  15 G3568 Now G3767 therefore, G5210 you G4862 with G4892 the council G1718 inform G5506 the commanding officer G3704 that G2609 he should bring G846 him G2609 down G4314 to G5209 you G839 tomorrow, G5613 as though G5209 you G1231 were going to judge G846 his G4012 case G199 more exactly. G1161   G2249 We G2070 are G2092 ready G337 to kill G846 him G4253 before G846 he G1448 comes near."
  16 G1161 But G3972 Paul's G79 sister's G5207 son G191 heard G1749 of their lying in wait, G3854 and he came G2532 and G1525 entered G1519 into G3925 the barracks G518 and told G3972 Paul.
  17 G1161   G3972 Paul G4341 summoned G1520 one G1543 of the centurions, G5346 and said, G520 "Bring G5126 this G3494 young man G4314 to G5506 the commanding officer, G1063 for G2192 he has G5100 something G518 to tell G846 him."
  18 G3767 So G3303   G3880 he took G846 him, G2532 and G71 brought G846 him G4314 to G2532 the commanding officer, and G5346 said, G3972 "Paul, G1198 the prisoner, G4341 summoned G3165 me G2065 and asked me G71 to bring G5126 this G3494 young man G4314 to G4571 you, G2192 who has G5100 something G2980 to tell G4671 you."
  19 G1161 The G5506 commanding officer G1949 took G846 him G5495 by the hand, G2532 and G402 going G2596 aside, G4441 asked G2398 him privately, G5101 "What G2076 is G3739 it that G2192 you have G518 to tell G3427 me?"
  20 G1161   G3754 He said, G2453 "The Jews G4934 have agreed G2065 to ask G4571 you G3704 to G3972 bring Paul G2609 down G1519 to G4892 the council G839 tomorrow, G5613 as though G4441 intending to inquire G5100 somewhat G3195 more G199 accurately G4012 concerning G846 him.
  21 G3767 Therefore G3982   G3361 don't G4771   G3982 yield G846 to them, G1063 for G1537   G846   G4119 more G5062 than forty G435 men G1748 lie in wait G846 for him, G3748 who G332 have bound G1438 themselves G332 under a curse G3739   G3383 neither G5315 to G5315 eat G3383 nor G4095 to drink G2193 until G3739   G1526 they G337 have killed G846 him. G2532   G3568 Now G2092 they are ready, G4327 looking for G1860 the promise G575 from G4675 you."
  22 G3767 So G3303   G5506 the commanding officer G630 let G3494 the young man G630 go, G3853 charging G1583 him, "Tell G3367 no one G3754 that G1718 you have revealed G5023 these things G4314 to G3165 me."
  23 G2532   G5100 He G4341 called G1417 to himself two G1543 of the centurions, G2036 and said, G2090 "Prepare G1250 two hundred G4757 soldiers G3704 to G4198 go G2193 as far as G2542 Caesarea, G2532 with G1440 seventy G2460 horsemen, G2532 and G1250 two hundred G1187 men armed with spears, G575 at G5154 the third G5610 hour G3571 of the night."
  24 G5037 He G3936 asked them to provide G2934 animals, G2443 that G1913 they might set G3972 Paul G1913 on G1295 one, and bring G1295 him safely G4314 to G5344 Felix G2232 the governor.
  25 G1125 He wrote G1992 a letter G4023 like G5179   G5126 this:
  26 G2804 "Claudius G3079 Lysias G2903 to the most excellent G2232 governor G5344 Felix: G5463 Greetings.
  27 G5126 "This G435 man G4815 was seized G5259 by G2453 the Jews, G2532 and G5259 was about G337 to be killed G5259 by G846 them, G2186 when I G4862 came with G4753 the soldiers G1807 and rescued G846 him, G3129 having learned G3754 that G2076 he was G4514 a Roman.
  28 G1161   G1014 Desiring G1097 to know G156 the cause G1223   G3739 why G1458 they accused G846 him, G2609 I brought G846 him G2609 down G1519 to G846 their G4892 council.
  29 G2147 I found G3739 him G1458 to be accused G4012 about G2213 questions G846 of their G3551 law, G1161 but G2192 not to be G1462 charged G3367 with anything G514 worthy G2288 of death G2228 or G1199 of imprisonment.
  30 G1161 When G3195 I G3377 was told G5259   G2071 that G2453 the Jews G3195   G1917 lay in wait G1519 for G435 the man, G3992 I sent G4314 him to G4571 you G1824 immediately, G3853 charging G2725 his accusers G2532 also G3004 to bring their accusations G4314 against G846 him G1909 before G4675 you. G4517 Farewell."
  31 G3767 So G3303   G4757 the soldiers, G2596 carrying G846 out their G1299 orders, G353 took G3972 Paul G71 and brought G1223 him by G3571 night G1519 to G494 Antipatris.
  32 G1161 But on G1887 the next day G1439 they left G2460 the horsemen G4198 to go G4862 with G846 him, G5290 and returned G1519 to G3925 the barracks.
  33 G3748 When G1525 they came G1519 to G2542 Caesarea G2532 and G325 delivered G1992 the letter G2232 to the governor, G2532 they also G3936 presented G3972 Paul G846 to him.
  34 G2532   G1161 When G2232 the governor G314 had read G1905 it, he asked G1537   G4169 what G1885 province G2076 he was G2532 from. When G4441 he understood G3754 that G2076 he was G2791 from Cilicia, G5346 he said,
  35 G1251 "I will hear G4675 you G3752 fully when G4675 your G2725 accusers G2532 also G3854 arrive." G5037   G5346 He G2753 commanded G846 that he G5442 be kept G1722 in G2264 Herod's G4232 palace.
