1 | After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul. | Ac 24:11 Ac 21:27 |
2 | When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation, | Ac 24:26 Ac 24:27 Ps 10:3 Ps 12:2 Ps 12:3 Pr 26:28 Pr 29:5 Jud 1:16 |
3 | we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. | Ac 23:26 Ac 26:25 Lk 1:3 |
4 | But, that I don`t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words. | Heb 11:32 |
5 | For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. | Ac 6:13 Ac 16:20 Ac 16:21 Ac 17:6 Ac 17:7 Ac 21:28 Ac 22:22 Ac 28:22 1Ki 18:17 1Ki 18:18 Jer 38:4 Am 7:10 Mt 5:11 Mt 5:12 Mt 10:25 1Co 4:13 |
6 | He even tried to profane the temple. We arrested him. | Ac 24:12 Ac 19:37 Ac 21:27-29 |
7 | empty verses content detected by amos | Ac 21:31-33 Ac 23:23-32 Pr 4:16 |
8 | By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him." | Ac 23:30 Ac 23:35 Ac 25:5 Ac 25:15 Ac 25:16 |
9 | The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so. | Ac 6:11-13 Ps 4:2 Ps 62:3 Ps 62:4 Ps 64:2-8 Isa 59:4-7 Jer 9:3-6 Ezk 22:27-29 Mic 6:12 Mic 6:13 Mic 7:2 Mic 7:3 Mt 26:59 Mt 26:60 Jn 8:44 |
10 | When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense, | Ac 12:17 Ac 13:16 Ac 19:33 Ac 21:40 Ac 26:1 |
11 | seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. | Ac 24:1 Ac 21:18 Ac 21:27 Ac 22:30 Ac 23:11 Ac 23:23 Ac 23:32 Ac 23:33 |
12 | In the temple they didn`t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city. | Ac 24:5 Ac 25:8 Ac 28:17 |
13 | Nor can they prove to you the things whereof they now accuse me. | Ac 25:7 1Pe 3:16 |
14 | But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; | Ps 119:46 Mt 10:32 |
15 | having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. | Ac 24:21 Ac 26:6 Ac 26:7 Ac 28:20-31 |
16 | Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men. | Ac 23:1 Ro 2:15 Ro 9:1 1Co 4:4 2Co 1:12 2Co 4:2 1Th 2:10 1Ti 1:5 1Ti 1:19 1Ti 3:9 2Ti 1:3 Tit 1:15 Tit 2:11-13 Heb 9:14 Heb 10:22 Heb 13:18 1Pe 2:19 1Pe 3:16 1Pe 3:21 |
17 | Now after some years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings; | Ac 11:29 Ac 11:30 Ac 20:16 Ro 15:25 Ro 15:26 1Co 16:1 1Co 16:2 2Co 8:9 Ga 2:10 |
18 | amid which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult. But certain Jews from Asia -- | Ac 21:26-30 Ac 26:21 |
19 | who ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me. | Ac 23:30 Ac 25:16 |
20 | Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council, |
21 | unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, `Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!`" | Ac 4:2 Ac 23:6 Ac 26:6-8 Ac 28:20 |
22 | But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, "When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case." | Ac 24:10 Ac 24:24 Ac 26:3 |
23 | He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him. | Ac 24:26 Ac 27:3 Ac 28:16 Ac 28:31 Pr 16:7 |
24 | But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. | Ac 26:22 Mk 6:20 Lk 19:3 Lk 23:8 |
25 | As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will call you to me." | Ac 17:2 1Sa 12:7 Isa 1:18 Isa 41:21 Ro 12:1 1Pe 3:15 |
26 | He hoped that way that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him. | Ac 24:2 Ac 24:3 Ex 23:8 Dt 16:19 1Sa 8:3 1Sa 12:3 2Ch 19:7 Jb 15:34 Ps 26:9 Ps 26:10 Pr 17:8 Pr 17:23 Pr 19:6 Pr 29:4 Isa 1:23 Isa 33:15 Isa 56:11 Ezk 22:27 Ezk 33:31 Hos 4:18 Hos 12:7 Hos 12:8 Am 2:6 Am 2:7 Mic 3:11 Mic 7:3 1Co 6:9 Eph 5:5 Eph 5:6 1Ti 6:9 1Ti 6:10 2Pe 2:3 2Pe 2:14 2Pe 2:15 |
27 | But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds. | Ac 28:30 |
