WEB·Acts 25

¹Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

KJVNow^G3767 when Festus^G5347 was come^G1910^(G5631) into the province^G1885, after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 he ascended^G305^(G5627) from^G575 Caesarea^G2542 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414.

² Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,

KJVThen^G1161 the high priest^G749 and^G2532 the chief^G4413 of the Jews^G2453 informed^G1718^(G5656) him^G846 against^G2596 Paul^G3972, and^G2532 besought^G3870^(G5707) him^G846,

³ asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.

KJVAnd desired^G154^(G5734) favour^G5485 against^G2596 him^G846, that^G3704 he would send for^G3343^(G5667) him^G846 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, laying^G4160^(G5723) wait^G1747 in^G2596 the way^G3598 to kill^G337^(G5629) him^G846.

⁴ However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

KJVBut^G3303^G3767 Festus^G5347 answered^G611^(G5662), that Paul^G3972 should be kept^G5083^(G5745) at^G1722 Caesarea^G2542, and^G1161 that he himself^G1438 would^G3195^(G5721) depart^G1607^(G5738)^G1722 shortly^G5034 thither.

⁵ “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”

KJVLet them therefore^G3767, said^G5346^(G5748) he, which among^G1722 you^G5213 are able^G1415, go down with^G4782^(G5631) me, and accuse^G2723^(G5720) this^G846 man^G435, if^G1536 there be^G2076^(G5748) any wickedness^G1536 in^G1722 him^G5129.

⁶ When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

KJVAnd^G1161 when he had tarried^G1304^(G5660) among^G1722 them^G846 more^G4119 than^G2228 ten^G1176 days^G2250, he went down^G2597^(G5631) unto^G1519 Caesarea^G2542; and the next day^G1887 sitting^G2523^(G5660) on^G1909 the judgment seat^G968 commanded^G2753^(G5656) Paul^G3972 to be brought^G71^(G5683).

⁷ When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,

KJVAnd^G1161 when he^G846 was come^G3854^(G5637), the Jews^G2453 which came down^G2597^(G5761) from^G575 Jerusalem^G2414 stood round about^G4026^(G5627), and^G2532 laid^G5342^(G5723) many^G4183 and grievous^G926 complaints^G157 against^G2596 Paul^G3972, which^G3739 they could^G2480^(G5707) not^G3756 prove^G584^(G5658).

⁸ while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”

KJVWhile he answered^G626^(G5740) for himself^G846, Neither^G3754^G3777 against^G1519 the law^G3551 of the Jews^G2453, neither^G3777 against^G1519 the temple^G2411, nor yet^G3777 against^G1519 Caesar^G2541, have I offended^G264^(G5627) any thing at all^G5100.

⁹ But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”

KJVBut^G1161 Festus^G5347, willing^G2309^(G5723) to do^G2698^(G5641) the Jews^G2453 a pleasure^G5485, answered^G611^(G5679) Paul^G3972, and said^G2036^(G5627), Wilt thou^G2309^(G5719) go up^G305^(G5631) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, and there^G1563 be judged^G2919^(G5745) of^G4012 these things^G5130 before^G1909 me^G1700?

¹⁰ But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) Paul^G3972, I stand^G1510^(G5748)^G2476^(G5761) at^G1909 Caesar's^G2541 judgment seat^G968, where^G3757 I^G3165 ought^G1163^(G5748) to be judged^G2919^(G5745): to the Jews^G2453 have I done^G91 no^G3762 wrong^G91^(G5656), as^G5613^G2532 thou^G4771 very well^G2566 knowest^G1921^(G5719).

¹¹ For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487^G3303 I be an offender^G91^(G5719), or^G2532 have committed^G4238^(G5758) any thing^G5100 worthy^G514 of death^G2288, I refuse^G3868^(G5736) not^G3756 to die^G599^(G5629): but^G1161 if^G1487 there be^G2076^(G5748) none^G3762 of these things^G3739 whereof these^G3778 accuse^G2723^(G5719) me^G3450, no man^G3762 may^G1410^(G5736) deliver^G5483^(G5664) me^G3165 unto them^G846. I appeal unto^G1941^(G5731) Caesar^G2541.

¹² Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”

KJVThen^G5119 Festus^G5347, when he had conferred^G4814^(G5660) with^G3326 the council^G4824, answered^G611^(G5662), Hast thou appealed unto^G1941^(G5764) Caesar^G2541? unto^G1909 Caesar^G2541 shalt thou go^G4198^(G5695).

¹³ Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G1230^(G5637) certain^G5100 days^G2250 king^G935 Agrippa^G67 and^G2532 Bernice^G959 came^G2658^(G5656) unto^G1519 Caesarea^G2542 to salute^G782^(G5697) Festus^G5347.

¹⁴ As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 they had been^G1304^(G5707) there^G1563 many^G4119 days^G2250, Festus^G5347 declared^G394^(G5639) Paul's^G3972 cause^G2596 unto the king^G935, saying^G3004^(G5723), There is^G2076^(G5748) a certain^G5100 man^G435 left^G2641^(G5772) in bonds^G1198 by^G5259 Felix^G5344:

¹⁵ about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

KJVAbout^G4012 whom^G3739, when^G1096 I^G3450 was^G1096^(G5637) at^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the elders^G4245 of the Jews^G2453 informed^G1718^(G5656) me, desiring^G154^(G5734) to have judgment^G1349 against^G2596 him^G846.

¹⁶ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

KJVTo^G4314 whom^G3739 I answered^G611^(G5662),^G3754 It is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 the manner^G1485 of the Romans^G4514 to deliver^G5483^(G5738) any^G5100 man^G444 to^G1519 die^G684, before^G4250 that^G2228 he which is accused^G2723^(G5746) have^G2192^(G5722) the accusers^G2725 face to face^G2596^G4383,^G5037 and have^G2983^(G5630) licence^G5117 to answer for himself^G627 concerning^G4012 the crime laid against him^G1462.

¹⁷ When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.

KJVTherefore^G3767, when they^G846 were come^G4905^(G5631) hither^G1759, without^G4160^(G5671) any^G3367 delay^G311 on the morrow^G1836 I sat^G2523^(G5660) on^G1909 the judgment seat^G968, and commanded^G2753^(G5656) the man^G435 to be brought forth^G71^(G5683).

¹⁸ When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;

KJVAgainst^G4012 whom^G3739 when the accusers^G2725 stood up^G2476^(G5685), they brought^G2018^(G5707) none^G3762 accusation^G156 of such things as^G3739 I^G1473 supposed^G5282^(G5707):

¹⁹ but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

KJVBut^G1161 had^G2192^(G5707) certain^G5100 questions^G2213 against^G4314 him^G846 of^G4012 their own^G2398 superstition^G1175, and^G2532 of^G4012 one^G5100 Jesus^G2424, which was dead^G2348^(G5761), whom^G3739 Paul^G3972 affirmed^G5335^(G5707) to be alive^G2198^(G5721).

²⁰ Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

KJVAnd^G1161 because I^G1473 doubted^G639^(G5734) of^G1519 such^G5127 manner^G4012 of questions^G2214, I asked^G3004^(G5707) him whether^G1487 he would^G1014^(G5739) go^G4198^(G5738) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, and there^G2546 be judged^G2919^(G5745) of^G4012 these matters^G5130.

²¹ But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”

KJVBut^G1161 when Paul^G3972 had appealed^G1941^(G5671) to be reserved^G5083^(G5683)^G846 unto^G1519 the hearing^G1233 of Augustus^G4575, I commanded^G2753^(G5656) him^G846 to be kept^G5083^(G5745) till^G2193^G3739 I might send^G3992^(G5661) him^G846 to^G4314 Caesar^G2541.

²² Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

KJVThen^G1161 Agrippa^G67 said^G5346^(G5713) unto^G4314 Festus^G5347, I would^G1014^(G5711) also^G2532 hear^G191^(G5658) the man^G444 myself^G846. To morrow^G839,^G1161 said^G5346^(G5748) he, thou shalt hear^G191^(G5695) him^G846.

²³ So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

KJVAnd on the morrow^G1887, when^G3767 Agrippa^G67 was come^G2064^(G5631), and^G2532 Bernice^G959, with^G3326 great^G4183 pomp^G5325, and^G2532 was entered^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the place of hearing^G201, with^G4862^G5037 the chief captains^G5506, and^G2532 principal^G2596^G1851 men^G435 of^G5607^(G5752) the city^G4172, at^G2532 Festus^G5347' commandment^G2753^(G5660) Paul^G3972 was brought forth^G71^(G5681).

²⁴ Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

KJVAnd^G2532 Festus^G5347 said^G5346^(G5748), King^G935 Agrippa^G67, and^G2532 all^G3956 men^G435 which^G3588 are here present^G4840^(G5752) with us^G2254, ye see^G2334^(G5719) this man^G5126, about^G4012 whom^G3739 all^G3956 the multitude^G4128 of the Jews^G2453 have dealt^G1793^(G5627) with me^G3427, both^G5037 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414, and^G2532 also here^G1759, crying^G1916^(G5723) that he ought^G1163^(G5750) not^G3361 to live^G2198^(G5721) any longer^G3371.

²⁵ But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,

KJVBut^G1161 when I^G1473 found^G2638^(G5642) that he^G846 had committed^G4238^(G5760) nothing^G3367 worthy^G514 of death^G2288, and^G2532^G1161 that he himself^G846 hath appealed^G5127 to^G1941^(G5671) Augustus^G4575, I have determined^G2919^(G5656) to send^G3992^(G5721) him^G846.

²⁶ of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.

KJVOf^G4012 whom^G3739 I have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 certain^G804 thing^G5100 to write^G1125^(G5658) unto my lord^G2962. Wherefore^G1352 I have brought^G4254 him^G846 forth^G4254^(G5627) before^G1909 you^G5216, and^G2532 specially^G3122 before^G1909 thee^G4675, O king^G935 Agrippa^G67, that^G3704, after examination^G351 had^G1096^(G5637), I might have^G2192^(G5632) somewhat^G5100 to write^G1125^(G5658).

²⁷ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”

KJVFor^G1063 it seemeth^G1380^(G5719) to me^G3427 unreasonable^G249 to send^G3992^(G5723) a prisoner^G1198, and^G2532 not withal^G3361 to signify^G4591^(G5658) the crimes^G156 laid against^G2596 him^G846.

WEB·Acts 24

¹After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G3326 five^G4002 days^G2250 Ananias^G367 the high priest^G749 descended^G2597^(G5627) with^G3326 the elders^G4245, and^G2532 with a certain^G5100 orator^G4489 named Tertullus^G5061, who^G3748 informed^G1718^(G5656) the governor^G2232 against^G2596 Paul^G3972.

² When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,

KJVAnd^G1161 when he^G846 was called forth^G2564^(G5685), Tertullus^G5061 began^G756^(G5662) to accuse^G2723^(G5721) him, saying^G3004^(G5723), Seeing that by^G1223 thee^G4675 we enjoy^G5177^(G5723) great^G4183 quietness^G1515, and^G2532 that very worthy deeds^G2735 are done^G1096^(G5740) unto this^G5129 nation^G1484 by^G1223 thy^G4674 providence^G4307,

³ we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

KJV^G5037 We accept^G588^(G5736) it always^G3839, and^G2532 in all places^G3837, most noble^G2903 Felix^G5344, with^G3326 all^G3956 thankfulness^G2169.

⁴ But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.

KJVNotwithstanding^G1161, that^G3363 I be^G4119 not^G3363^G1909 further^G4119 tedious^G1465^(G5725) unto thee^G4571, I pray^G3870^(G5719) thee^G4571 that thou wouldest hear^G191^(G5658) us^G2257 of thy^G4674 clemency^G1932 a few words^G4935.

⁵ For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

KJVFor^G1063 we have found^G2147^(G5631) this^G5126 man^G435 a pestilent^G3061 fellow, and^G2532 a mover^G2795^(G5723) of sedition^G4714 among all^G3956 the Jews^G2453 throughout^G2596 the world^G3625, and^G5037 a ringleader^G4414 of the sect^G139 of the Nazarenes^G3480:

⁶ He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.

KJVWho^G3739 also^G2532 hath gone about^G3985^(G5707) to profane^G953^(G5658) the temple^G2411:^G2532 whom^G3739 we took^G2902^(G5656), and^G2532 would^G2309^(G5656) have judged^G2919^(G5721) according^G2596 to our^G2251 law^G3551.

⁷World English Bible does not include this verse.

KJVBut^G1161 the chief captain^G5506 Lysias^G3079 came^G3928^(G5631) upon us, and with^G3326 great^G4183 violence^G970 took him away^G520^(G5627) out of^G1537 our^G2257 hands^G5495,

⁸ By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

KJVCommanding^G2753^(G5660) his^G846 accusers^G2725 to come^G2064^(G5738) unto^G1909 thee^G4571: by examining^G350^(G5660) of^G3844 whom^G3739 thyself^G846 mayest^G1410^(G5695) take knowledge^G1921^(G5629) of^G4012 all^G3956 these things^G5130, whereof^G3739 we^G2249 accuse^G2723^(G5719) him^G846.

⁹ The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

KJVAnd^G1161 the Jews^G2453 also^G2532 assented^G4934^(G5639), saying^G5335^(G5723) that these things^G5023 were^G2192^(G5721) so^G3779.

¹⁰ When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

KJVThen^G1161 Paul^G3972, after that the governor^G2232 had beckoned^G3506^(G5660) unto him^G846 to speak^G3004^(G5721), answered^G611^(G5662), Forasmuch as I know^G1987^(G5740) that thou^G4571 hast been^G5607^(G5752) of^G1537 many^G4183 years^G2094 a judge^G2923 unto this^G5129 nation^G1484, I do^G626 the more cheerfully^G2115 answer^G626^(G5736) for^G4012 myself^G1683:

¹¹ seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

KJVBecause that thou^G4675 mayest^G1410^(G5740) understand^G1097^(G5629), that^G3754 there are^G1526^(G5748) yet but^G2228^G3756 twelve^G1177 days^G2250^G4119 since^G575^G3739 I^G3427 went up^G305^(G5627) to^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419 for to worship^G4352^(G5694).

¹² In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.

KJVAnd^G2532 they neither^G3777 found^G2147^(G5627) me^G3165 in^G1722 the temple^G2411 disputing^G1256^(G5740) with^G4314 any man^G5100, neither^G2228 raising up^G1999^G4160^(G5723) the people^G3793^G1999, neither^G3777 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864, nor^G3777 in^G2596 the city^G4172:

¹³ Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

KJVNeither^G3777 can^G1410^(G5736) they prove^G3936^(G5658)^G3165 the things^G4012 whereof^G3739 they^G2723 now^G3568 accuse^G2723^(G5719) me^G3450.

¹⁴ But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

KJVBut^G1161 this^G5124 I confess^G3670^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, that^G3754 after^G2596 the way^G3598 which^G3739 they call^G3004^(G5719) heresy^G139, so^G3779 worship I^G3000^(G5719) the God^G2316 of my fathers^G3971, believing^G4100^(G5723) all things^G3956 which^G3588 are written^G1125^(G5772) in^G2596 the law^G3551 and^G2532 in^G1722 the prophets^G4396:

¹⁵ having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

KJVAnd have^G2192^(G5723) hope^G1680 toward^G1519 God^G2316, which^G3739 they^G3778 themselves^G846 also^G2532 allow^G4327^(G5736), that there shall be^G3195^(G5721)^G1510^(G5705) a resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498, both^G5037 of the just^G1342 and^G2532 unjust^G94.

¹⁶ In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

KJVAnd^G1161 herein^G1722^G5129 do I exercise^G778^(G5719) myself^G846, to have^G2192^(G5721) always^G1275 a conscience^G4893 void of offence^G677 toward^G4314 God^G2316, and^G2532 toward men^G444.

KJV^G1161 Whereupon^G1722^G3739 certain^G5100 Jews^G2453 from^G575 Asia^G773 found^G2147^(G5627) me^G3165 purified^G48^(G5772) in^G1722 the temple^G2411, neither^G3756 with^G3326 multitude^G3793, nor^G3761 with^G3326 tumult^G2351.

KJVOr else^G2228 let^G2036 these^G846 same^G3778 here say^G2036^(G5628), if^G1536 they have found^G2147^(G5627) any^G1536 evil doing^G92 in^G1722 me^G1698, while I^G3450 stood^G2476^(G5631) before^G1909 the council^G4892,

²¹ unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

KJVExcept^G2228 it be for^G4012 this^G5026 one^G3391 voice^G5456, that^G3739 I cried^G2896^(G5656) standing^G2476^(G5761) among^G1722 them^G846, Touching^G3754^G4012 the resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498 I^G1473 am called in question^G2919^(G5743) by^G5259 you^G5216 this day^G4594.

²² But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when Felix^G5344 heard^G191^(G5660) these things^G5023, having more perfect^G197 knowledge^G1492^(G5761) of^G4012 that way^G3598, he deferred^G306^(G5639) them^G846, and said^G2036^(G5631), When^G3752 Lysias^G3079 the chief captain^G5506 shall come down^G2597^(G5632), I will know the uttermost^G1231^(G5695) of your^G5209 matter^G2596.

²⁵ As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

KJVHe hoped^G1679^(G5723) also^G260^G1161^G2532 that^G3754 money^G5536 should have been given^G1325^(G5701) him^G846 of^G5259 Paul^G3972, that^G3704 he might loose^G3089^(G5661) him^G846: wherefore^G1352 he sent for^G3343^(G5740) him^G846 the oftener^G4437, and^G2532 communed with^G3656^(G5707) him^G846.
