7: having come up_G3928 however,_G1161 Lysias_G3079 the_G3588 commander_G5506 with_G3326 great_G4183 force,_G0970 out of_G1537 the_G3588 hands_G5501 of us_G1473 took [him] away,_G0520

9: Agreed_G4934 then_G1161 also_G2532 the_G3588 Jews,_G2453 declaring_G5335 these things_G3778 so_G3779 to be._G2192

10: Answered_G0611 then_G5037 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 having made a sign_G3506 to him_G0846 the_G3588 governor_G2232 to speak:_G3004 For_G1537 many_G4183 years,_G2094 as being_G1510 you_G4771 judge_G2923 to_G3588 nation,_G1484 this_G3778 knowing,_G1987 cheerfully_G2115 to the things_G3588 concerning_G4012 myself_G1683 I make a defense._G0626

11: Being able_G1410 you_G4771 to know_G1921 that_G3754 not_G3756 more than_G4119 there are_G1510 to me_G1473 days_G2250 twelve,_G1427 from_G0575 which_G3739 I went up_G0305 to worship_G4352 in_G1519 Jerusalem._G2419

12: And_G2532 neither_G3777 in_G1722 the_G3588 temple_G2411 did they find_G2147 me_G1473 with_G4314 anyone_G5100 reasoning,_G1256 or_G2228 a tumultuous gathering_G1999 making_G4160 of a crowd,_G3793 nor_G3777 in_G1722 the_G3588 synagogues,_G4864 nor_G3777 in_G2596 the_G3588 city._G4172

13: Nor_G3761 to prove_G3936 are they able_G1410 to you,_G4771 concerning_G4012 [the things] of which_G3739 now_G3570 they accuse_G2723 me._G1473

14: I confess_G3670 however_G1161 this_G3778 to you,_G4771 that_G3754 according to_G2596 the_G3588 Way_G3598 which_G3739 they call_G3004 a sect,_G0139 so_G3779 I serve_G3000 the_G3588 of our fathers_G3971 God,_G2316 believing_G4100 all things_G3956 -_G3588 throughout_G2596 the_G3588 law,_G3551 and_G2532 that_G3588 in_G1722 the_G3588 Prophets_G4396 have been written,_G1125

15: a hope_G1680 having_G2192 in_G1519 -_G3588 God_G2316 which_G3739 also_G2532 they_G0846 themselves_G3778 await,_G4327 [that] a resurrection_G0386 there is about_G3195 to be_G1510 of [the] just_G1342 both_G5037 and_G2532 of [the] unjust._G0094

16: In_G1722 this_G3778 also_G2532 I myself_G0846 strive,_G0778 without offense_G0677 a conscience_G4893 to have_G2192 toward_G4314 -_G3588 God_G2316 and_G2532 -_G3588 men,_G0444 through_G1223 everything._G3956

18: during_G1722 which_G3739 they found_G2147 me_G1473 purified_G0048 in_G1722 the_G3588 temple,_G2411 not_G3756 with_G3326 a crowd,_G3793 nor_G3761 in_G3326 tumult._G2351 Some_G5101 however [are]_G1161 from_G0575 -_G3588 Asia,_G0773 Jews_G2453

19: who_G3739 ought_G1163 before_G1909 you_G4771 to appear_G3918 and_G2532 to make accusation,_G2723 if_G1487 anything_G5100 they may have_G2192 against_G4314 me._G1473

21: [other] than_G2228 concerning_G4012 one_G1520 this_G3778 voice_G5456 which_G3739 I cried out_G2896 among_G1722 them_G0846 standing_G2476 -:_G3754 Concerning_G4012 [the] resurrection_G0386 of [the] dead_G3498 I_G1473 am judged_G2919 this day_G4594 by_G1909 you._G4771
