[1] After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul. [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, [3] we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. [4] But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words. [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. [6] He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.‡ [7] ‡ [8] ‡By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.” [9] The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so. [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, [11] seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. [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. [13] Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me. [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; [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. [16] In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men. [17] Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings; [18] amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil. [19] They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me. [20] Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council, [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!’” [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.” [23] He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him. [24] After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. [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.” [26] Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him. [27] But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

Paul before Felix
[1] And G1161 after G3326 five G4002 days G2250 Ananias G367 the G3588 high priest G749 descended G2597 with G3326 the G3588 elders, G4245 and G2532 with a certain G5100 orator G4489 named Tertullus, G5061 who G3748 informed G1718 the G3588 governor G2232 against G2596 Paul. G3972 [2] And G1161 when G2564 he G846 was called forth, G2564 Tertullus G5061 began G756 to accuse G2723 him, saying, G3004 Seeing that G5177 by G1223 thee G4675 we enjoy G5177 great G4183 quietness, G1515 and G2532 that very worthy deeds G2735 are done G1096 unto this G5129 nation G1484 by G1223 thy G4674 providence, G4307 [3] we accept G588 it always, G3839 G5037 and G2532 in all places, G3837 most noble G2903 Felix, G5344 with G3326 all G3956 thankfulness. G2169 [4] Notwithstanding, G1161 that G2443 I be G1465 not G3361 G1909 further G4119 tedious G1465 unto thee, G4571 I pray G3870 thee G4571 that thou wouldest hear G191 us G2257 of thy G4674 clemency G1932 a few words. G4935 [5] For G1063 we have found G2147 this G5126 man G435 a pestilent G3061 fellow, and G2532 a mover G2795 of sedition G4714 among all G3956 the G3588 Jews G2453 throughout G2596 the G3588 world, G3625 and G5037 a ringleader G4414 of the G3588 sect G139 of the G3588 Nazarenes: G3480 [6] who G3739 also G2532 hath gone about G3985 to profane G953 the G3588 temple: G2411 whom G3739 we took, G2902 and G2532 would G2309 have judged G2919 according to G2596 our G2251 law. G3551 [7] But G1161 the G3588 chief captain G5506 Lysias G3079 came G3928 upon us, and with G3326 great G4183 violence G970 took him away G520 out of G1537 our G2257 hands, G5495 [8] commanding G2753 his G846 accusers G2725 to come G2064 unto G1909 thee: G4571 by examining G350 of G3844 whom G3739 thyself G846 mayest G1410 take knowledge G1921 of G4012 all G3956 these things, G5130 whereof G3739 we G2249 accuse G2723 him. G846 [9] And G1161 the G3588 Jews G2453 also G2532 assented, G4934 saying G5335 that these things G5023 were G2192 so. G3779 [10] Then G1161 Paul, G3972 after that G3506 the G3588 governor G2232 had beckoned G3506 unto him G846 to speak, G3004 answered, G611 Forasmuch as I know G1987 that thou G4571 hast been G5607 of G1537 many G4183 years G2094 a judge G2923 unto this G5129 nation, G1484 I G626 do the more cheerfully G2115 answer G626 for G4012 myself: G1683 [11] because that G1410 thou G4675 mayest G1410 understand, G1097 that G3754 there are G1526 yet but G3756 G4119 G2228 G3427 twelve G1177 days G2250 since G575 G3739 I went up G305 to G1722 Jerusalem G2419 for to worship. G4352 [12] And G2532 they G2147 neither G3777 found G2147 me G3165 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 disputing G1256 with G4314 any man, G5100 neither G2228 raising up G1999 G4160 the people, G3793 neither G3777 in G1722 the G3588 synagogues, G4864 nor G3777 in G2596 the G3588 city: G4172 [13] neither G3777 can G1410 they prove G3936 the things whereof G3739 G4012 they G2723 now G3568 accuse G2723 me. G3450 [14] But G1161 this G5124 I confess G3670 unto thee, G4671 that G3754 after G2596 the G3588 way G3598 which G3739 they call G3004 heresy, G139 so G3779 worship I G3000 the G3588 God G2316 of my fathers, G3971 believing G4100 all things G3956 which G3588 are written G1125 in G2596 the G3588 law G3551 and G2532 in the G3588 prophets: G4396 [15] and have G2192 hope G1680 toward G1519 God, G2316 which G3739 they G3778 themselves G846 also G2532 allow, G4327 that there shall be G3195 G2071 a resurrection G386 of the dead, G3498 both G5037 of the just G1342 and G2532 unjust. G94 [16] And G1161 herein G1722 G5129 do I exercise G778 myself, G846 to have G2192 always G1223 G3956 a conscience G4893 void of offence G677 toward G4314 God, G2316 and G2532 toward men. G444 [17] Now G1161 after G1223 many G4119 years G2094 I came G3854 to bring G4160 alms G1654 to G1519 my G3450 nation, G1484 and G2532 offerings. G4376 [18] Whereupon G1722 G3739 certain G5100 Jews G2453 from G575 Asia G773 found G2147 me G3165 purified G48 in G1722 the G3588 temple, G2411 neither G3756 with G3326 multitude, G3793 nor G3761 with G3326 tumult. G2351 [19] Who G3739 ought G1163 to have been here G3918 before G1909 thee, G4675 and G2532 object, G2723 if G1487 they had G2192 ought G5100 against G4314 me. G3165 [20] Or else G2228 let G2036 these G3778 same G846 here say, G2036 if G1487 they have found G2147 any G5100 evil doing G92 in G1722 me, G1698 while G2476 I G3450 stood G2476 before G1909 the G3588 council, G4892 [21] except G2228 it be for G4012 this G3778 one G3391 voice, G5456 that G3739 I cried G2896 standing G2476 among G1722 them, G846 G3754 Touching G4012 the resurrection G386 of the dead G3498 I G1473 am called in question G2919 by G5259 you G5216 this day. G4594 [22] And G1161 when G191 Felix G5344 heard G191 these things, G5023 having G1492 more perfect G199 knowledge G1492 of G4012 that way, G3598 he deferred G306 them, G846 and said, G2036 When G3752 Lysias G3079 the G3588 chief captain G5506 shall come down, G2597 I will know the uttermost G1231 of your G5209 G2596 matter. G3588 [23] And G5037 he commanded G1299 a G3588 centurion G1543 to keep G5083 Paul, G3972 and G5037 to let him have G2192 liberty, G425 and G2532 that he should forbid G2967 none G3367 of his G846 acquaintance G2398 to minister G5256 or G2228 come G4334 unto him. G846 [24] And G1161 after G3326 certain G5100 days, G2250 when G3854 Felix G5344 came G3854 with G4862 his G846 wife G1135 Drusilla, G1409 which was G5607 a Jewess, G2453 he sent for G3343 Paul, G3972 and G2532 heard G191 him G846 concerning G4012 the G3588 faith G4102 in G1519 Christ. G5547 [25] And G1161 as G1256 he G846 reasoned G1256 of G4012 righteousness, G1343 temperance, G1466 and G2532 judgment G2917 to come, G3195 G2071 Felix G5344 trembled, G1719 G1096 and answered, G611 Go thy way G4198 for this time; G3568 G2192 when G3335 I have G3335 a convenient season, G2540 G1161 I will call for G3333 thee. G4571 [26] G260 G1161 He hoped G1679 also G2532 that G3754 money G5536 should have been given G1325 him G846 of G5259 Paul, G3972 that G3704 he might loose G3089 him: G846 wherefore G1352 he sent for G3343 him G846 the oftener, G4437 and G2532 communed with G3656 him. G846 [27] But G1161 after G4137 two years G1333 Porcius G4201 Festus G5347 came G2983 into Felix’ G5344 room: G1240 and G5037 Felix, G5344 willing G2309 to shew G2698 the G3588 Jews G2453 a pleasure, G5485 left G2641 Paul G3972 bound.
