 24:1 ¶ And 1161 after 3326 fiue 4002 dayes, 2250 Ananias 367 the x3588 hie Priest 749 descended 2597 z5627 with 3326 the x3588 Elders, 4245 and 2532 with a certaine 5100 Oratour 4489 named Tertullus, 5061 who 3748 enformed 1718 z5656 the x3588 gouernour 2232 against 2596 Paul. 3972

 24:2 And 1161 when he 846 was called foorth, 2564 z5685 Tertullus 5061 began 756 z5662 to accuse 2723 z5721 him, saying, 3004 z5723 Seeing that by 1223 thee 4675 we enioy 5177 z5723 great 4183 quietnesse, 1515 and 2532 that very worthy deeds 2735 are done 1096 z5740 vnto this 5129 natio 1484 by 1223 thy 4674 prouidence: 4307

 24:3 y5037 Wee accept 588 z5736 it x5037 alwayes, 3839 and 2532 in all places, 3837 most noble 2903 Felix, 5344 with 3326 all 3956 thankfulnesse. 2169

 24:4 Notwithstanding, 1161 that y3363 z0 x2443 I be y4119 z0 not y3363 y1909 farther y4119 tedious 1465 z5725 x3361 x1909 x4119 vnto thee, 4571 I pray 3870 z5719 thee, y4571 that thou x4571 wouldest heare 191 z5658 vs 2257 of thy 4674 clemencie 1932 a few words. 4935

 24:5 For 1063 we haue found 2147 z5631 this 5126 man 435 a pestilent 3061 fellow, and 2532 a moouer 2795 z5723 of sedition 4714 among all 3956 the x3588 Iewes 2453 throughout 2596 the x3588 world, 3625 and 5037 a ringleader 4414 of the x3588 sect 139 of the x3588 Nazarenes. 3480

 24:6 Who 3739 also 2532 hath gone about 3985 z5707 to profane 953 z5658 the x3588 Temple: 2411 y2532 whom 3739 we tooke, 2902 z5656 and 2532 would 2309 z5656 haue iudged 2919 z5721 according 2596 to our 2251 lawe. 3551

 24:7 But 1161 the x3588 chiefe captaine 5506 Lysias 3079 came 3928 z5631 vpon vs, and with 3326 great 4183 violence 970 tooke him away 520 z5627 out of 1537 our 2257 hands: 5495

 24:8 Commanding 2753 z5660 his y846 x848 accusers 2725 to come 2064 z5738 vnto 1909 thee, 4571 by examining 350 z5660 of 3844 whom 3739 thy selfe 846 mayest 1410 z5695 take knowledge 1921 z5629 of 4012 all 3956 these things, 5130 whereof 3739 we 2249 accuse 2723 z5719 him. 846

 24:9 And 1161 the x3588 Iewes 2453 also 2532 assented, 4934 z5639 saying 5335 z5723 that these things 5023 were 2192 z5721 so. 3779

 24:10 Then 1161 Paul, 3972 after that the x3588 gouernour 2232 had beckened 3506 z5660 vnto him 846 to speake, 3004 z5721 answered, 611 z5662 Forasmuch as I know 1987 z5740 that thou 4571 hast been 5607 z5752 of 1537 many 4183 yeeres 2094 a Iudge 2923 vnto this 5129 nation, 1484 I do y626 z0 the more cheerefully 2115 answere 626 z5736 for 4012 my selfe: 1683

 24:11 Because that thou 4675 mayest 1410 z5740 vnderstand, 1097 z5629 that 3754 there are 1526 z5748 x3427 yet but 2228 3756 x4119 twelue 1177 dayes, 2250 y4119 since 575 3739 I y3427 went vp 305 z5627 to 1722 Hierusalem 2419 for to worship. 4352 z5694

 24:12 And 2532 they neither 3777 found 2147 z5627 me 3165 in 1722 the x3588 Temple 2411 disputing 1256 z5740 with 4314 any man, 5100 neither 2228 raising vp 1999 4160 z5723 z0 the people, 3793 y1999 neither 3777 in 1722 the x3588 Synagogues, 4864 nor 3777 in 2596 the x3588 citie: 4172

 24:13 Neither 3777 can 1410 z5736 they proue 3936 z5658 y3165 the things y4012 whereof 3739 x4012 they y2723 z0 now 3568 accuse 2723 z5719 me. 3450

 24:14 But 1161 this 5124 I confesse 3670 z5719 vnto thee, 4671 that 3754 after 2596 the x3588 way 3598 which 3739 they call 3004 z5719 heresie, 139 so 3779 worship x3000 I y3000 z5719 the God 2316 of my fathers, 3971 beleeuing 4100 z5723 all things 3956 which y3588 are written 1125 z5772 in 2596 the x3588 Law 3551 and 2532 y1722 the x3588 Prophets, 4396

 24:15 And haue 2192 z5723 hope 1680 towards 1519 God, 2316 which 3739 they 3778 themselues 846 also 2532 allow, 4327 z5736 that there shall x3195 be 1510 y3195 z5721 z5705 a resurrection 386 of the dead, 3498 both 5037 of the iust 1342 and 2532 vniust. 94

 24:16 And 1161 herein 1722 5129 doe I exercise 778 z5719 my selfe 846 to haue 2192 z5721 alwayes 1275 a conscience 4893 void of offence 677 toward 4314 God, 2316 and 2532 toward men. 444

 24:17 Now 1161 after 1223 many 4119 yeeres, 2094 I came 3854 z5633 to bring 4160 z5694 almes 1654 to 1519 my 3450 nation, 1484 & 2532 offrings: 4376

 24:18 y1161 Wherupon 1722 3739 x1161 certaine 5100 Iewes 2453 from 575 Asia 773 found 2147 z5627 me 3165 purified 48 z5772 in 1722 the x3588 Temple, 2411 neither 3756 with 3326 multitude, 3793 nor 3761 with 3326 tumult: 2351

 24:19 Who 3739 ought 1163 z5748 z5625 z5713 to haue beene here 3918 z5750 before 1909 thee, 4675 and 2532 obiect, 2723 z5721 if y1536 z0 they had y2192 z5722 ought 1536 x2192 against 4314 me. 3165

 24:20 Or x2228 else y2228 let y2036 z0 these y846 x3778 same y3778 x846 here say, 2036 z5628 if y1536 z0 they haue found y2147 z5627 any 1536 x2147 euill doing 92 in 1722 mee, 1698 while I 3450 stood 2476 z5631 before 1909 the x3588 Councill, 4892

 24:21 Except 2228 it be for 4012 this 5026 one 3391 voice, 5456 that 3739 I cried 2896 z5656 standing 2476 z5761 among 1722 them, 846 x3754 Touching 4012 y3754 the resurrection 386 of the dead 3498 I 1473 am called in question 2919 z5743 by 5259 you 5216 this day. 4594

 24:22 And 1161 when Felix 5344 heard 191 z5660 these things, 5023 hauing more perfect y197 knowledge 1492 z5761 x197 of 4012 that way, 3598 he deferred 306 z5639 them 846 and said, 2036 z5631 When 3752 Lysias 3079 the x3588 chiefe captaine 5506 shall come downe, 2597 z5632 I will know the vttermost 1231 z5695 of your y5209 matter. 2596 x5209

 24:23 And 5037 he commanded 1299 z5671 a Centurion 1543 to keepe 5083 z5745 Paul, 3972 and 5037 to let him haue 2192 z5721 libertie, 425 and 2532 that he should forbid 2967 z5721 none 3367 of his 846 acquaintance 2398 to minister, 5256 z5721 or 2228 come y4334 z5738 vnto x4334 him. 846

 24:24 And 1161 after 3326 certaine 5100 dayes, 2250 when Felix 5344 came 3854 z5637 with 4862 his y846 x848 wife 1135 Orusilla, 1409 which was 5607 z5752 a Iew, 2453 he sent for 3343 z5662 Paul, 3972 and 2532 heard 191 z5656 him 846 cocerning 4012 the x3588 faith 4102 in 1519 Christ. 5547

 24:25 And 1161 as he 846 reasoned 1256 z5740 of 4012 righteousnesse, 1343 x2532 temperance, 1466 y2532 and 2532 iudgement 2917 to come, 1510 y3195 z5723 z5705 Felix 5344 trembled 1096 1719 z5637 and answered, 611 z5662 Go thy way 4198 z5737 for this time, 3568 x2192 when 1161 I haue 3335 y2192 z5723 z5631 a conuenient season, 2540 I will call for 3333 z5698 thee. 4571

 24:26 He x1161 hoped 1679 z5723 also 2532 y260 y1161 that 3754 money 5536 should haue bene giuen 1325 z5701 him 846 of 5259 Paul, 3972 that 3704 hee might loose 3089 z5661 him: 846 wherefore 1352 hee x2532 sent for 3343 z5740 him 846 the oftner, 4437 and y2532 comuned x3656 with y3656 z5707 him. 846

 24:27 But 1161 after y4137 z5685 two yeeres, 1333 x4137 Portius 4201 Festus 5347 came y2983 z5627 into Felix y5344 roome: 1240 x2983 x5344 and 5037 Felix 5344 willing 2309 z5723 to shew 2698 z5641 the x3588 Iewes 2453 a pleasure, 5485 left 2641 z5627 Paul 3972 bound. 1210 z5772
