DAY 26 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYSAC-24:11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship. AC-24:12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: AC-24:13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. AC-24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: AC-24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. AC-24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and [toward] men. AC-24:17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. AC-24:18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. AC-24:19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me. AC-24:20 Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, AC-24:21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. AC-24:22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter. AC-24:23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. AC-24:24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. AC-24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. AC-24:26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. AC-24:27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. *AC-25:1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem. AC-25:2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him, AC-25:3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him. AC-25:4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly [thither]. AC-25:5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with [me], and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him. AC-25:6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought. AC-25:7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove. AC-25:8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all. AC-25:9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? AC-25:10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. AC-25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. AC-25:12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go. AC-25:13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus. AC-25:14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared |
