Acts 使徒行传_Ac_24
1Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor.
2When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: "We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight 1 has brought about reforms in this nation.
3Everywhere and in every way, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude 2.
4But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly 3.
5"We have found this man to be a troublemaker 4, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect 5
6and even tried to desecrate 6 the temple; so we seized him.
8By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him."
9The Jews joined in the accusation 7, asserting that these things were true.
10When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: "I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense 8.
11You can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city.
13And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me.
14However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower 9 of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,
15and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
16So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.
17"After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor and to present offerings.
18I was ceremonially clean when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor was I involved in any disturbance 10.
19But there are some Jews from the province of Asia, who ought to be here before you and bring charges if they have anything against me.
20Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin--
21unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: 'It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.' "
22Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way, adjourned 11 the proceedings 12. "When Lysias the commander comes," he said, "I will decide your case."
23He ordered the centurion 13 to keep Paul under guard but to give him some freedom and permit his friends to take care of his needs.
24Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke 14 about faith in Christ Jesus.
25As Paul discoursed 15 on righteousness, self-control and the judgment 16 to come, Felix was afraid and said, "That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you."
26At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe 17, so he sent for him frequently and talked with him.
27When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
