Actes 23

1And^G1161 Paul^G3972, looking^G816 stedfastly on the council^G4892, said^G2036, Brethren^G80, I^G1473 have lived^G4176 before God^G2316 in all^G3956 good^G18 conscience^G4893 until^G891 this^G3778 day^G2250. 2And^G1161 the high priest^G749 Ananias^G367 commanded^G2004 them that^G3588 stood by^G3936 him^G846 to smite^G5180 him^G846 on the mouth^G4750. 3Then^G5119 said^G2036 Paul^G3972 unto^G4314 him^G846, God^G2316 shall^G3195 smite^G5180 thee^G4571, thou whited^G2867 wall^G5109: and^G2532 sittest^G2521 thou^G4771 to judge^G2919 me^G3165 according^G2596 to the law^G3551, and^G2532 commandest^G2753 me^G3165 to be smitten^G5180 contrary to the law^G3891? 4And^G1161 they that^G3588 stood by^G3936 said^G2036, Revilest^G3058 thou God's^G2316 high priest^G749? 5And^G5037 Paul^G3972 said^G5346, I knew^G1492 not^G3756, brethren^G80, that^G3754 he was^G2076 high priest^G749: for^G1063 it is written^G1125, Thou shalt^G2046 not^G3756 speak^G2046 evil^G2560 of a ruler^G758 of thy^G4675 people^G2992. 6But^G1161 when Paul^G3972 perceived^G1097 that^G3754 the one^G1520 part^G3313 were^G2076 Sadducees^G4523 and^G1161 the other^G2087 Pharisees^G5330, he cried out^G2896 in^G1722 the council^G4892, Brethren^G80, I^G1473 am^G1510 a Pharisee^G5330, a son^G5207 of^G4012 Pharisees^G5330: touching the hope^G1680 and^G2532 resurrection^G386 of^G4012 the dead^G3498 I^G1473 am called in question^G2919. 7And^G1161 when^G5124 he^G846 had so said^G2980, there arose^G1096 a dissension^G4714 between the Pharisees^G5330 and^G2532 Sadducees^G4523; and^G2532 the assembly^G4128 was divided^G4977. 8For^G1063 the Sadducees^G4523 say that^G3004 there is^G1511 no^G3361 resurrection^G386, neither^G3366 angel^G32, nor^G3383 spirit^G4151; but^G1161 the Pharisees^G5330 confess^G3670 both^G297. 9And^G1161 there arose^G1096 a great^G3173 clamor: and^G2532 some of the scribes^G1122 of the Pharisees^G5330 part^G3313 stood up^G450, and strove^G1264, saying^G3004, We find^G2147 no^G3762 evil^G2556 in^G1722 this^G5129 man^G444: and what^G1161 if^G1487 a spirit^G4151 hath spoken^G2980 to him^G846, or^G2228 an angel^G32? 10And^G1161 when there arose^G1096 a great^G4183 dissension^G4714, the chief captain^G5506, fearing^G2125 lest^G3361 Paul^G3972 should be torn in pieces^G1288 by^G5259 them^G846, commanded^G2753 the soldiers^G4753 to go down^G2597 and take^G726 him^G846 by force^G726 from^G1537 among^G3319 them^G846, and^G5037 bring^G71 him into^G1519 the castle^G3925. 11And^G1161 the night^G3571 following^G1966 the Lord^G2962 stood^G2186 by him^G846, and said^G2036, Be of good cheer^G2293: for^G1063 as^G5613 thou hast testified^G1263 concerning^G4012 me^G1700 at^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, so^G3779 must^G1163 thou^G4571 bear witness^G3140 also^G2532 at^G1519 Rome^G4516. 12And^G1161 when it was^G1096 day^G2250, the Jews^G2453 banded^G4160 together^G4963, and bound^G332 themselves^G1438 under a curse^G332, saying that^G3004 they would^G5315 neither^G3383 eat^G5315 nor^G3383 drink^G4095 till^G2193 they^G3739 had killed^G615 Paul^G3972. 13And^G1161 they were^G2258 more^G4119 than forty^G5062 that^G3588 made^G4160 this^G3778 conspiracy^G4945. 14And they^G3748 came^G4334 to the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the elders^G4245, and said^G2036, We have bound^G332 ourselves^G1438 under a^G3739 great curse^G331, to taste^G1089 nothing^G3367 until^G2193 we have killed^G615 Paul^G3972. 15Now^G3568 therefore^G3767 do ye^G5210 with^G4862 the council^G4892 signify^G1718 to^G4314 the chief captain^G5506 that^G3704 he bring^G2609 him^G846 down^G2609 unto^G4314 you^G5209, as though^G5613 ye would^G3195 judge^G1231 of his^G846 case^G4012 more exactly^G199: and^G1161 we^G2249, before^G4253 he^G846 comes near^G1448, are^G2070 ready^G2092 to slay^G337 him^G846. 16But^G1161 Paul's^G3972 sister's^G79 son^G5207 heard^G191 of their lying in wait^G1749, and he came^G3854 and^G2532 entered^G1525 into^G1519 the castle^G3925 and told^G518 Paul^G3972. 17And^G1161 Paul^G3972 called^G4341 unto him one^G1520 of the centurions^G1543, and said^G5346, Bring^G520 this^G5126 young man^G3494 unto^G4314 the chief captain^G5506; for^G1063 he hath^G2192 something^G5100 to tell^G518 him^G846. 18So^G3767 he took^G3880 him^G846, and brought^G71 him to^G4314 the chief captain^G5506, and^G2532 saith^G5346, Paul^G3972 the prisoner^G1198 called^G4341 me^G3165 unto^G4341 him, and asked me^G2065 to bring^G71 this^G5126 young man^G3494 unto^G4314 thee^G4571, who hath^G2192 something^G5100 to say^G2980 to thee^G4671. 19And^G1161 the chief captain^G5506 took^G1949 him^G846 by the hand^G5495, and^G2532 going^G402 aside^G2596 asked^G4441 him privately^G2398, What^G5101 is^G2076 it that^G3739 thou hast^G2192 to tell^G518 me^G3427? 20And^G1161 he said^G3754, The Jews^G2453 have agreed^G4934 to ask^G2065 thee^G4571 to^G3704 bring down^G2609 Paul^G3972 to-morrow^G839 unto^G1519 the council^G4892, as though^G5613 thou wouldest inquire^G4441 somewhat^G5100 more^G3195 exactly^G199 concerning^G4012 him^G846. 21Do^G3982 not^G3361 thou^G4771 therefore yield^G3982 unto them^G846: for^G1063 there lie in wait^G1748 for him^G846 of^G1537 them^G846 more^G4119 than forty^G5062 men^G435, who^G3748 have bound^G332 themselves^G1438 under a curse^G332, neither^G3383 to^G5315 eat^G5315 nor^G3383 to drink^G4095 till^G2193 they have slain^G337 him^G846: and^G2532 now^G3568 are they^G1526 ready^G2092, looking for^G4327 the promise^G1860 from^G575 thee^G4675. 22So^G3767 the chief captain^G5506 let^G630 the young man^G3494 go^G630, charging^G3853 him, Tell^G1583 no man^G3367 that^G3754 thou hast signified^G1718 these things^G5023 to^G4314 me^G3165. 23And^G2532 he^G5100 called^G4341 unto him two^G1417 of the centurions^G1543, and said^G2036, Make ready^G2090 two hundred^G1250 soldiers^G4757 to^G3704 go^G4198 as far as^G2193 Caesarea^G2542, and^G2532 horsemen^G2460 threescore and ten^G1440, and^G2532 spearmen^G1187 two hundred^G1250, at^G575 the third^G5154 hour^G5610 of the night^G3571: 24and^G5037 he bade them provide^G3936 beasts^G2934, that^G2443 they might set^G1913 Paul^G3972 thereon^G1913, and bring^G1295 him safe^G1295 unto^G4314 Felix^G5344 the governor^G2232. 25And he wrote^G1125 a letter^G1992 after^G4023 this^G5126 form^G5179: 26Claudius^G2804 Lysias^G3079 unto the most excellent^G2903 governor^G2232 Felix^G5344, greeting^G5463. 27This^G5126 man^G435 was seized^G4815 by^G5259 the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 was about^G5259 to be slain^G337 of^G5259 them^G846, when I^G2186 came upon them with^G4862 the soldiers^G4753 and rescued^G1807 him^G846, having learned^G3129 that^G3754 he was^G2076 a Roman^G4514. 28And^G1161 desiring^G1014 to know^G1097 the cause^G156 wherefore^G3739 they accused^G1458 him^G846, I brought^G2609 him^G846 down^G2609 unto^G1519 their^G846 council^G4892: 29whom^G3739 I found^G2147 to be accused^G1458 about^G4012 questions^G2213 of their^G846 law^G3551, but^G1161 to have^G2192 nothing^G3367 laid to his charge^G1462 worthy^G514 of death^G2288 or^G2228 of bonds^G1199. 30And^G1161 when it was shown^G3377 to me^G3427 that^G2071 there would^G3195 be a^G3195 plot against the man^G435, I sent^G3992 him to^G4314 thee^G4571 forthwith^G1824, charging^G3853 his accusers^G2725 also^G2532 to speak^G3004 against^G4314 him^G846 before^G1909 thee^G4675. 31So^G3767 the soldiers^G4757, as^G2596 it was commanded^G1299 them^G846, took^G353 Paul^G3972 and brought^G71 him by^G1223 night^G3571 to^G1519 Antipatris^G494. 32But on^G1161 the morrow^G1887 they left^G1439 the horsemen^G2460 to go^G4198 with^G4862 him^G846, and returned^G5290 to^G1519 the castle^G3925: 33and^G2532 they, when they came^G1525 to^G1519 Caesarea^G2542 and^G2532 delivered^G325 the letter^G1992 to the governor^G2232, presented^G3936 Paul^G3972 also^G2532 before him^G846. 34And^G2532 when^G1161 he^G2232 had read^G314 it, he asked^G1905 of^G1537 what^G4169 province^G1885 he was^G2076; and^G2532 when he understood^G4441 that^G3754 he was of^G575 Cilicia^G2791, 35I will hear^G1251 thee^G4675 fully, said he^G5346, when^G3752 thine^G4675 accusers^G2725 also^G2532 are come^G3854: and^G5037 he commanded^G2753 him^G846 to be kept^G5442 in^G1722 Herod's^G2264 palace^G4232.
