1: Having looked intently_G0816 then_G1161 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 at the_G3588 Council,_G4892 he said,_G2036 Men,_G0435 brothers,_G0080 I_G1473 in all_G3956 conscience_G4893 good_G0018 have lived as a citizen_G4176 -_G3588 to God_G2316 unto_G0891 this_G3778 -_G3588 day._G2250

2: -_G3588 Then_G1161 the high priest_G0749 Ananias_G0367 commanded_G2004 those_G3588 standing by_G3936 him_G0846 to strike_G5180 of him_G0846 the_G3588 mouth._G4750

3: Then_G5119 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 to_G4314 him_G0846 said,_G2036 To strike_G5180 you_G4771 is about_G3195 -_G3588 God,_G2316 wall_G5109 whitewashed!_G2867 And_G2532 you,_G4771 do you sit_G2521 judging_G2919 me_G1473 according to_G2596 the_G3588 law,_G3551 and_G2532 violating law,_G3891 command_G2753 me_G1473 to be struck?_G5180

4: Those who_G3588 now_G1161 stood by_G3936 said,_G2036 The_G3588 high priest_G0749 -_G3588 of God_G2316 do you insult?_G3058

5: Was saying_G5346 then_G5037 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 Not_G3756 I was aware,_G1492 brothers,_G0080 that_G3754 he is_G1510 high priest;_G0749 it has been written_G1125 for_G1063 -:_G3754 [The] ruler_G0758 of the_G3588 people_G2992 of you,_G4771 not_G3756 you shall speak_G2046 evil [of]._G2560

6: Having known_G1097 then_G1161 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 that_G3754 the_G3588 one_G1520 part_G3313 consists_G1510 of Sadducees,_G4523 -_G3588 but_G1161 the other_G2087 of Pharisees,_G5330 he began crying out_G2896 in_G1722 the_G3588 Council,_G4892 Men,_G0435 brothers,_G0080 I_G1473 a Pharisee_G5330 am,_G1510 [the] son_G5207 of a Pharisee;_G5330 concerning_G4012 [the] hope_G1680 and_G2532 resurrection_G0386 of [the] dead_G3498 I_G1473 am judged._G2919

7: This_G3778 then_G1161 of him_G0846 saying,_G2980 arose_G1096 a dissension_G4714 between the_G3588 Pharisees_G5330 and_G2532 Sadducees,_G4523 and_G2532 was divided_G4977 the_G3588 crowd._G4128

8: Sadducees_G4523 indeed_G3303 for_G1063 say_G3004 not_G3361 there to be_G1510 resurrection,_G0386 nor_G3383 angel,_G0032 nor_G3383 spirit;_G4151 Pharisees_G5330 however_G1161 confess_G3670 -_G3588 both._G0297

9: Arose_G1096 then_G1161 a clamor_G2906 great,_G3173 and_G2532 having risen up_G0450 some_G5100 of the_G3588 scribes_G1122 of the_G3588 party_G3313 of the_G3588 Pharisees,_G5330 they were contending,_G1264 saying,_G3004 Nothing_G3762 evil_G2556 we find_G2147 in_G1722 the_G3588 man_G0444 this._G3778 What if_G1487 now_G1161 a spirit_G4151 has spoken_G2980 to him,_G0846 or_G2228 an angel?_G0032 not_G3361 let us fight against God._G2313

10: Great_G4183 then_G1161 arising_G1096 dissension,_G4714 having feared_G5399 the_G3588 commander,_G5506 lest_G3361 should be torn to pieces_G1288 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 by_G5259 them,_G0846 he commanded_G2753 the_G3588 troop,_G4753 having gone down,_G2597 to take by force_G0726 him_G0846 from_G1537 midst_G3319 of them,_G0846 to bring [him]_G0071 then_G5037 into_G1519 the_G3588 barracks._G3925

11: -_G3588 But_G1161 the following_G1966 night,_G3571 having stood by_G2186 him,_G0846 the_G3588 Lord_G2962 said,_G2036 Take courage,_G2293 as_G5613 for_G1063 you have fully testified_G1263 -_G3588 about_G4012 Me_G1473 at_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2419 so_G3779 you_G4771 it behooves_G1163 also_G2532 in_G1519 Rome_G4516 to testify._G3140

12: When it was_G1096 then_G1161 day,_G2250 having made_G4160 a conspiracy,_G4963 the_G3588 Jews_G2453 put under an oath_G0332 themselves,_G1438 declaring_G3004 neither_G3383 to eat_G5315 nor_G3383 to drink_G4095 until_G2193 that_G3739 they should kill_G0615 -_G3588 Paul._G3972

13: There were_G1510 now_G1161 more than_G4119 forty,_G5062 -_G3588 this_G3778 -_G3588 plot_G4945 having made,_G4160

14: who,_G3748 having come_G4334 to the_G3588 chief priests_G0749 and_G2532 the_G3588 elders,_G4245 said,_G2036 With an oath_G0331 we have bound_G0332 ourselves,_G1438 nothing_G3367 to eat_G1089 until_G2193 that_G3739 we should kill_G0615 -_G3588 Paul._G3972

15: Now_G3568 therefore_G3767 you,_G4771 make a report_G1718 to the_G3588 commander_G5506 along with_G4862 the_G3588 Council,_G4892 so that_G3704 he might bring down_G2609 him_G0846 to_G1519 you,_G4771 as_G5613 being about_G3195 to examine_G1231 more earnestly_G0199 the things_G3588 about_G4012 him;_G0846 we_G1473 then,_G1161 before_G4253 -_G3588 drawing near_G1448 his,_G0846 ready_G2092 are_G1510 -_G3588 to kill_G0337 him._G0846

16: Having heard_G0191 however_G1161 the_G3588 son_G5207 of the_G3588 sister_G0079 of Paul_G3972 of the_G3588 ambush,_G1747 having come near_G3854 and_G2532 having entered_G1525 into_G1519 the_G3588 barracks,_G3925 he reported [it]_G0518 -_G3588 to Paul._G3972

17: Having called to [him]_G4341 then_G1161 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 one_G1520 of the_G3588 centurions,_G1543 he was saying,_G5346 The_G3588 young man_G3494 this_G3778 take_G0520 to_G4314 the_G3588 commander;_G5506 he has_G2192 for_G1063 to report_G0518 something_G5100 to him._G0846

18: The [one]_G3588 indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 having taken_G3880 him_G0846 brought [him]_G0071 to_G4314 the_G3588 commander,_G5506 and_G2532 he says,_G5346 The_G3588 prisoner_G1198 Paul,_G3972 having called to_G4341 me,_G1473 asked [me]_G2065 this_G3778 -_G3588 young man_G3495 to lead_G0071 to_G4314 you,_G4771 having_G2192 something_G5100 to say_G2980 to you._G4771

19: Having taken hold_G1949 then_G1161 the_G3588 hand_G5495 of him_G0846 the_G3588 commander,_G5506 and_G2532 having withdrawn_G0402 in_G2596 private,_G2398 he began to inquire,_G4441 What_G5101 is it_G1510 that_G3739 you have_G2192 to report_G0518 to me?_G1473

20: He said_G2036 then_G1161 -,_G3754 The_G3588 Jews_G2453 have agreed_G4934 -_G3588 to ask_G2065 you_G4771 that_G3704 tomorrow_G0839 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 you might bring down_G2609 into_G1519 the_G3588 Council,_G4892 as_G5613 being about_G3195 something_G5100 more earnestly_G0199 to inquire_G4441 about_G4012 him._G0846

21: You_G4771 therefore_G3767 not_G3361 should be persuaded_G3982 by them._G0846 Lie in wait_G1748 indeed_G1063 for him_G0846 of_G1537 them_G0846 men_G0435 more than_G4119 forty,_G5062 who_G3748 have put under an oath_G0332 themselves_G1438 neither_G3383 to eat_G5315 nor_G3383 to drink_G4095 until_G2193 that_G3739 they have killed_G0337 him;_G0846 and_G2532 now_G3568 they are_G1510 ready,_G2092 awaiting_G4327 the_G3588 from_G0575 you_G4771 promise._G1860

22: -_G3588 Indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 the commander_G5506 dismissed_G0630 the_G3588 young man,_G3495 having instructed [him],_G3853 No one_G3367 tell_G1583 that_G3754 these things_G3778 you have reported_G1718 to_G4314 me._G1473

23: And_G2532 having called to [him]_G4341 certain_G5100 two_G1417 of the_G3588 centurions,_G1543 he said,_G2036 Prepare_G2090 soldiers_G4757 two hundred,_G1250 so that_G3704 they might go_G4198 as far as_G2193 Caesarea,_G2542 and_G2532 horsemen_G2460 seventy,_G1440 and_G2532 spearmen_G1187 two hundred,_G1250 for_G0575 the third_G5154 hour_G5610 of the_G3588 night._G3571

24: Mounts_G2934 then_G5037 provide,_G3936 so that_G2443 having set upon [them]_G1913 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 they might bring [him] safely_G1295 to_G4314 Felix_G5344 the_G3588 governor,_G2232

25: having written_G1125 a letter,_G1992 having_G2192 the_G3588 form_G5179 this:_G3778

26: Claudius_G2804 Lysias,_G3079 To the_G3588 most excellent_G2903 governor,_G2232 Felix:_G5344 Greetings._G5463

27: The_G3588 man_G0435 this,_G3778 having been seized_G4815 by_G5259 the_G3588 Jews,_G2453 and_G2532 being about_G3195 to be killed_G0337 by_G5259 them,_G0846 having come up_G2186 with_G4862 the_G3588 troop,_G4753 I rescued [him],_G1807 having learned_G3129 that_G3754 a Roman_G4514 he is._G1510

28: Resolving_G1014 then_G5037 to know_G1921 the_G3588 charge_G0156 on account of_G1223 which_G3739 they were accusing_G1458 him,_G0846 I brought [him] down_G2609 to_G1519 the_G3588 council_G4892 of them,_G0846

29: whom_G3739 I found_G2147 being accused_G1458 concerning_G4012 questions_G2213 of the_G3588 law_G3551 of them,_G0846 no_G3367 however_G1161 worthy_G0514 of death_G2288 or_G2228 of chains_G1199 having_G2192 accusation._G1462

30: It having been disclosed_G3377 then_G1161 to me_G1473 of a plot that_G1917 against_G1519 the_G3588 man_G0435 would be,_G1510 at once_G1824 I sent [him]_G3992 to_G4314 you,_G4771 having instructed_G3853 also_G2532 the_G3588 accusers_G2725 to speak_G3004 these things_G3588 against_G4314 him_G0846 before_G1909 you._G4771

31: -_G3588 Indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 the soldiers,_G4757 according to_G2596 that_G3588 having been ordered_G1299 them,_G0846 having taken_G0353 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 brought [him]_G0071 by_G1223 night_G3571 to_G1519 -_G3588 Antipatris._G0494

32: On the_G3588 now_G1161 next day,_G1887 having allowed_G1439 the_G3588 horsemen_G2460 to go_G0565 with_G4862 him,_G0846 they returned_G5290 to_G1519 the_G3588 barracks,_G3925

33: who_G3748 having entered_G1525 into_G1519 -_G3588 Caesarea_G2542 and_G2532 having delivered_G0325 the_G3588 letter_G1992 to the_G3588 governor,_G2232 presented_G3936 also_G2532 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 to him._G0846

34: Having read [it]_G0314 then,_G1161 and_G2532 having asked_G1905 from_G1537 what_G4169 province_G1885 he is,_G1510 and_G2532 having learned_G4441 that_G3754 from_G0575 Cilicia [he is],_G2791

35: I will hear fully_G1251 you,_G4771 he was saying,_G5346 when_G3752 also_G2532 the_G3588 accusers_G2725 of you_G4771 may have arrived,_G3854 having commanded_G2753 in_G1722 the_G3588 Praetorium_G4232 -_G3588 of Herod_G2264 to be guarded_G5442 him._G0846
