Acts 23
1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
Intendens autem in concilium Paulus ait: Viri fratres, ego omni conscientia bona conversatus sum ante Deum usque in hodiernum diem.
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
Princeps autem sacerdotum Ananias praecepit astantibus sibi percutere os eius.
3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
Tunc Paulus dixit ad eum: Percutiet te Deus, paries dealbate. Et tu sedens iudicas me secundum legem, et contra legem iubes me percuti?
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
Et qui astabant dixerunt: Summum sacerdotem Dei maledicis.
5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no*) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
Dixit autem Paulus: Nesciebam fratres quia princeps est sacerdotum. Scriptum est enim: Principem populi tui non maledices.
6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N(k)O*) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N(K)O*) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.
Sciens autem Paulus quia una pars esset Sadducaeorum, et altera Pharisaeorum, exclamavit in concilio: Viri fratres, ego Pharisaeus sum, filius Pharisaeorum, de spe et resurrectione mortuorum ego iudicor.
7 This then of him (saying *N(k)(o)*) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k*) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
Et cum haec dixisset, facta est dissensio inter Pharisaeos, et Sadducaeos, et soluta est multitudo.
8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N(k)O*) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
Sadducaei enim dicunt, non esse resurrectionem, neque Angelum, neque Spiritum: Pharisaei autem utraque confitentur.
9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO*) (of the scribes *N(k)O*) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K*)
Factus est autem clamor magnus. Et surgentes quidam Pharisaeorum, pugnabant, dicentes: Nihil mali invenimus in homine isto: quid si Spiritus locutus est ei, aut Angelus?
10 great then (is becoming *N(k)O*) dissension, (having feared *N(k)O*) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK(o)*) (and *k*) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
Et cum magna dissensio facta esset, timens tribunus ne discerperetur Paulus ab ipsis, iussit milites descendere, et rapere eum de medio eorum, ac deducere eum in castra.
11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k*) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
Sequenti autem nocte assistens ei Dominus, ait: Constans esto: sicut enim testificatus es de me in Ierusalem, sic te oportet et Romae testificari.
12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N(k)O*) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.
Facta autem die collegerunt se quidam ex Iudaeis, et devoverunt se dicentes, neque manducaturos, neque bibituros donec occiderent Paulum.
13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)
Erant autem plus quam quadraginta viri, qui hanc coniurationem fecerant:
14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
qui accesserunt ad principes sacerdotum, et seniores, et dixerunt: Devotione devovimus nos nihil gustaturos, donec occidamus Paulum.
15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K*) he may bring down him (to *N(k)O*) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
Nunc ergo vos notum facite tribuno cum concilio, ut producat illum ad vos, tamquam aliquid certius cognituri de eo. Nos vero prius quam appropiet, parati sumus interficere illum.
16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N(k)O*) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
Quod cum audisset filius sororis Pauli insidias, venit, et intravit in castra, nunciavitque Paulo.
17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK(o)*) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.
Vocans autem Paulus ad se unum ex Centurionibus, ait: Adolescentem hunc perduc ad tribunum, habet enim aliquid indicare illi.
18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N(k)O*) to lead to you having something to say to you.
Et ille quidem assumens eum duxit ad tribunum, et ait: Vinctus Paulus rogavit me hunc adolescentem perducere ad te, habentem aliquid loqui tibi.
19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
Apprehendens autem tribunus manum illius, secessit cum eo seorsum, et interrogavit illum: Quid est, quod habes indicare mihi?
20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N(K)(O)*) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
Ille autem dixit: Iudaeis convenit rogare te, ut crastina die producas Paulum in concilium, quasi aliquid certius inquisituri sint de illo:
21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
tu vero ne credideris illis, insidiantur enim ei ex eis viri amplius quam quadraginta, qui se devoverunt non manducare, neque bibere donec interficiant eum: et nunc parati sunt, expectantes promissum tuum.
22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N(k)O*) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
Tribunus igitur dimisit adolescentem, praecipiens ei ne cui loqueretur quoniam haec nota sibi fecisset.
23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,
Et vocatis duobus Centurionibus, dixit illis: Parate milites ducentos ut eant usque Caesaream, et equites septuaginta, et lancearios ducentos a tertia hora noctis:
24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
et iumenta praeparate ut imponentes Paulum, salvum perducerent ad Felicem praesidem,
25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:
(Timuit enim ne forte raperent eum Iudaei, et occiderent, et ipse postea calumniam sustineret, tamquam accepturus pecuniam)
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
scribens ei epistolam continentem haec: CLAUDIUS Lysias optimo Praesidi, Felici salutem.
27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k*) having learned that a Roman he is;
Virum hunc comprehensum a Iudaeis, et incipientem interfici ab eis, superveniens cum exercitu eripui, cognito quia Romanus est:
28 Resolving (then to know *N(k)O*) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k*) to the council of them;
Volensque scire causam, quam obiiciebant illi, deduxi eum in concilium eorum.
29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
Quem inveni accusari de quaestionibus legis ipsorum, nullum vero dignum morte aut vinculis habentem crimen.
30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k*) going to happen (by the Jews *K*) (at once *NK(O)*) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO*)
Et cum mihi perlatum esset de insidiis, quas paraverant illi, misi eum ad te denuncians: et accusatoribus ut dicant apud te, Vale.
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.
Milites ergo secundum praeceptum sibi, assumentes Paulum, duxerunt per noctem in Antipatridem.
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;
Et postera die dimissis equitibus ut cum eo irent, reversi sunt ad castra.
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
Qui cum venissent Caesaream, et tradidissent epistolam praesidi, statuerunt ante illum et Paulum.
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
Cum legisset autem, et interrogasset de qua provincia esset: et cognoscens quia de Cilicia,
35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N(k)O*) (then *k*) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
Audiam te, inquit, cum accusatores tui venerint. Iussitque in praetorio Herodis custodiri eum.
