Acts 24:1

And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor [the things] against Paul;

Five days after this, Ananias the High Priest came down to Caesarea with a number of Elders and a pleader called Tertullus. They stated to the Governor the case against Paul.

And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came with certain of the rulers, and an expert talker, one Tertullus; and they made a statement to Felix against Paul.

Acts 24:2

and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, `Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through thy forethought,

So Paul was sent for, and Tertullus began to impeach him as follows: "Indebted as we are," he said, "to you, most noble Felix, for the perfect peace which we enjoy, and for reforms which your wisdom has introduced to this nation,

And when he had been sent for, Tertullus, starting his statement, said, Because by you we are living in peace, and through your wisdom wrongs are put right for this nation,

Acts 24:3

Acts 24:4

and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;

Acts 24:5

for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes

For we have found this man Paul a source of mischief and a disturber of the peace among all the Jews throughout the Empire, and a ringleader in the heresy of the Nazarenes.

For this man, in our opinion, is a cause of trouble, a maker of attacks on the government among Jews through all the empire, and a chief mover in the society of the Nazarenes:

Acts 24:6

who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,

He even attempted to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.

Who, in addition, was attempting to make the Temple unclean: whom we took,

[]

Acts 24:8

having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;`

You, however, by examining him, will yourself be able to learn the truth as to all this which we allege against him."

And from whom you will be able, by questioning him yourself, to get knowledge of all the things which we say against him.

Acts 24:9

and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.

The Jews also joined in the charge, maintaining that these were facts.

And the Jews were in agreement with his statement, saying that these things were so.

Acts 24:10

And Paul answered the governor having beckoned to him to speak `Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;

Then, at a sign from the Governor, Paul answered, "Knowing, Sir, that for many years you have administered justice to this nation, I cheerfully make my defence.

Then when the ruler had given him a sign to make his answer, Paul said, Because I have knowledge that you have been a judge over this nation for a number of years, I am glad to make my answer:

Acts 24:11

thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,

For you have it in your power to ascertain that it is not more than twelve days ago that I went up to worship in Jerusalem;

Seeing that you are able to make certain of the fact that it is not more than twelve days from the time when I came up to Jerusalem for worship;

Acts 24:12

and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;

and that neither in the Temple nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city, did they find me disputing with any opponent or collecting a crowd about me.

And they have not seen me in argument with any man in the Temple, or working up the feelings of the people, in the Synagogues or in the town:

Acts 24:13

nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.

Nor can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.

And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.

Acts 24:14

`And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,

But this I confess to you that in the way which they style a heresy, I worship the God of our forefathers, believing everything that is taught in the Law or is written in the Prophets,

But this I will say openly to you, that I do give worship to the God of our fathers after that Way, which to them is not the true religion: but I have belief in all the things which are in the law and in the books of the prophets:

Acts 24:15

having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;

and having a hope directed towards God, which my accusers themselves also entertain, that before long there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

Hoping in God for that which they themselves are looking for, that there will be a coming back from the dead for upright men and wrongdoers.

Acts 24:16

and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

This too is my own earnest endeavour always to have a clear conscience in relation to God and man.

And in this, I do my best at all times to have no reason for shame before God or men.

Acts 24:17

Now after a number of years I came to give help and offerings to my nation:

Acts 24:18

in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,

And having been made clean, I was in the Temple, but not with a great number of people, and not with noise: but there were certain Jews from Asia,

Acts 24:19

whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,

They ought to have been here before you, and to have been my prosecutors, if they have any charge to bring against me.

And it would have been better if they had come here to make a statement, if they have anything against me.

Acts 24:20

or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,

Or let these men themselves say what misdemeanour they found me guilty of when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

Or let these men here present say what wrongdoing was seen in me when I was before the Sanhedrin,

Acts 24:21

except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.`

unless it was in that one expression which I made use of when I shouted out as I stood among them, "`The resurrection of the dead is the thing about which I am on my trial before you to-day.'"

But only this one thing which I said among them in a loud voice, I am this day being judged on the question of the coming back from the dead.

Acts 24:22

And having heard these things, Felix delayed them having known more exactly of the things concerning the way saying, `When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;`

At this point Felix, who was fairly well informed about the new faith, adjourned the trial, saying to the Jews, "When the Tribune Lysias comes down, I will enter carefully into the matter."

But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

And he gave orders to the Captain that Paul was to be kept in custody, but be treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be prevented from showing him kindness.

And he gave orders to the captain to keep Paul under his control, and to let him have everything he had need of; and not to keep his friends from coming to see him.

Not long after this, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, a Jewess, and sending for Paul, listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.

But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

Acts 24:25

and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;`

But when he dealt with the subjects of justice, self-control, and the judgement which was soon to come, Felix became alarmed and said, "For the present leave me, and when I can find a convenient opportunity I will send for you."

And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you.

But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.
