< Acts 22 >

1 “Men, brothers, and fathers, hear my defense now to you.”
ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
2 and they having heard that he was speaking to them in the Hebrew dialect, they became even more silent, and he says,

3 “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been taught according to the exactness of a law of the fathers, being zealous of God, as all you are today.
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲥⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲧ̅ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲅⲁⲙⲁⲗⲓⲏⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
4 And this Way I persecuted to death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women,

5 as also the chief priest testifies to me, and all the eldership; from whom also having received letters to the brothers, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished,
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲓⲙⲱⲣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
6 and it came to pass, in my going on and coming near to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of Heaven there shone a great light around me;
ⲋ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϣⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲥⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ.
7 I also fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?
ⲍ̅ⲁⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕⲡⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈.
8 And I answered, Who are You, Lord? And He said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom you persecute—
ⲏ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲡⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ.
9 and they who are with me saw the light, and became afraid, and they did not hear the voice of Him who is speaking to me—
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈.
10 and I said, What will I do, Lord? And the LORD said to me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it will be told you concerning all things that have been appointed for you to do.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ.
11 And when I did not see from the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to Damascus,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲗⲟ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩϫⲓⲙⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲇⲉ ϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ.
12 and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the Law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling [there],
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ.
13 having come to me and stood by [me], said to me, Saul, brother, look up; and the same hour I looked up to him;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ϩⲓϫⲱⲓ̈ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲉ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
14 and he said, The God of our fathers chose you beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of His mouth,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲉϩⲕ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲣⲱϥ.
15 because you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲕⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲕⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ.
16 and now, why do you linger? Having risen, immerse yourself, and wash away your sins, calling on the Name of the LORD.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲛⲅ̅ⲉⲓⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
17 And it came to pass, when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲕⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ. ⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲕⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
18 and I saw Him saying to me, Hurry and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive your testimony concerning Me;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ. ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧ.
19 and I said, LORD, they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging those believing on You in every synagogue;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ.
20 and when the blood of your witness Stephen was being poured forth, I was also standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death;
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲡⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲕⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲩⲛⲉⲩⲇⲟⲕⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓ̈ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲱⲧⲃ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
21 and He said to me, Go, because I will send you to far-off nations.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲩⲕ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲏⲩ.
22 And they were hearing him to this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, “Away from the earth with such a one; for it is not fit for him to live.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϣⲁⲡⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϥⲓϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲛ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲱⲛϩ̅.
23 And they crying out and casting up their garments, and throwing dust into the air,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲛⲉϫϣⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲁⲏⲣ.
24 the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the stronghold, saying, “Let him be examined by scourges,” that he might know for what cause they were crying so against him.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲉⲙⲃⲟⲗⲏ. ⲉⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲝ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲁϣ ⲛ̅ⲗⲟⲓ̈ϭⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ.
25 And as he was stretching him with the straps, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful to you to scourge a man, a Roman, uncondemned?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
26 And the centurion having heard, having gone near to the chief captain, told, saying, “Take heed what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman”;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ. ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ. ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ.
27 and the chief captain having come near, said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes”;
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϩⲉ.
28 and the chief captain answered, “I, with a great sum, obtained this citizenship”; but Paul said, “But I have even been born [so].”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲭⲣⲏⲙⲁ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲧⲓⲁ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
29 Immediately, therefore, they departed from him, those being about to examine him, and the chief captain was also afraid, having learned that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him,
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉⲇⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲣϥ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲃⲟⲗϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
30 and the next day, intending to know the certainty for what reason he is accused by the Jews, he loosed him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their Sanhedrin to come, and having brought down Paul, he set [him] before them.
