Acts 24:10-21 ▼

10 The Paul, after that the deputie hym selfe had beckened vnto hym that he shoulde speake, aunswered: With a more quiet mynde do I aunswere for my selfe, forasmuch as I vnderstande, that thou haste ben of many yeres a iudge vnto this nation:

11 Because that thou mayest knowe, that there are yet but twelue dayes, sence I went vp to Hierusalem for to worshyp.

12 And they neither founde me in the temple disputyng with any man, either raysyng vp the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the citie.

13 Neither can they proue the thynges wherof they accuse me.

14 But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way which they call heresie, so worship I the God of my fathers, beleuyng all thynges which are written in the lawe and the prophetes,

15 And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead which they them selues loke for also, shalbe both of the iust and vniust.

16 And herein studie I, to haue alway a cleare conscience toward God, and toward men.

17 Nowe after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation, and offerynges:

18 In the which they founde me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor yet with vnquietnesse: (24:19) Howbeit, there were certayne Iewes out of Asia,

19 (24:20) Which ought to be here present before thee, & accuse me, yf they had ought agaynst me:

20 (24:21) Or els let these same here say, yf they haue founde any euyll doyng in me, whyle I stande here in the counsell:

21 (24:22) Except it be for this one voyce, that I cryed standyng among them, of the resurrection from the dead, am I iudged of you this day.
