King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

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 he[G846] was called forth,[G2564] Tertullus[G5061] began[G756] to accuse[G2723] him, saying,[G3004] Seeing that 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[G5037] always,[G3839] and[G2532] in all places,[G3837] most noble[G2903] Felix,[G5344] with[G3326] all[G3956] thankfulness.[G2169]

4. Notwithstanding,[G1161] that[G2443] I be not further tedious[G1465] [G3361] [G1909] [G4119] unto thee,[G4571] I pray[G3870] thee that thou[G4571] 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[G2596] to 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[G848] 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 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 do the more cheerfully[G2115] answer[G626] for[G4012] myself: [G1683]

11. Because that thou[G4675] mayest[G1410] understand,[G1097] that[G3754] there are[G1526] [G3427] yet but[G3756] [G4119] [G2228] twelve[G1177] days[G2250] since[G575] [G3739] I went up[G305] to[G1722] Jerusalem[G2419] for to worship.[G4352]

12. And[G2532] they neither[G3777] found[G2147] me[G3165] in[G1722] the[G3588] temple[G2411] disputing[G1256] with[G4314] any man,[G5100] neither[G2228] raising up[G4160] [G1999] 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[G4012] [G3739] they 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[G3000] I the God[G2316] of my fathers,[G3971] believing[G4100] all things[G3956] which 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[G3195] be[G1510] 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[G1275] a conscience[G4893] void of offense[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] [G1161] 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 they had aught[G1536] [G2192] against[G4314] me.[G3165]

20. Or[G2228] else let these[G3778] same[G846] here say,[G2036] if they have found any[G1536] [G2147] evil doing[G92] in[G1722] me,[G1698] while I[G3450] stood[G2476] before[G1909] the[G3588] council,[G4892]

21. Except[G2228] it be for[G4012] this[G5026] 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 Felix[G5344] heard[G191] these things,[G5023] having more perfect knowledge[G1492] [G197] 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 uttmost[G1231] of your matter.[G2596] [G5209]

23. And[G5037] he commanded[G1299] a 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 unto[G4334] him.[G846]

24. And[G1161] after[G3326] certain[G5100] days,[G2250] when Felix[G5344] came[G3854] with[G4862] his[G848] 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 he[G846] reasoned[G1256] of[G4012] righteousness,[G1343] [G2532] temperance,[G1466] and[G2532] judgment[G2917] to come,[G1510] Felix[G5344] trembled,[G1096] [G1719] and answered,[G611] Go thy way[G4198] for this time;[G3568] [G2192] when[G1161] I have[G3335] a convenient season,[G2540] I will call for[G3333] thee.[G4571]

26. He[G1161] 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[G2532] sent for[G3343] him[G846] the more often,[G4437] and communed[G3656] with him.[G846]

27. But[G1161] after two years[G4137] [G1333] Porcius[G4201] Festus[G5347] came into Felix' room:[G2983] [G1240] [G5344] and[G5037] Felix,[G5344] willing[G2309] to show[G2698] the[G3588] Jews[G2453] a pleasure,[G5485] left[G2641] Paul[G3972] bound.[G1210]
