Acts 24
1 After then five days came down the high priest Ananias with (of the *k*) elders (some *NO*) and an orator Tertullus certain, who made a representation to the governor against Paul.
Μετὰ δὲ πέντε ἡμέρας κατέβη ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς Ἁνανίας μετὰ ⸂πρεσβυτέρων τινῶν καὶ ῥήτορος Τερτύλλου τινός, οἵτινες ἐνεφάνισαν τῷ ἡγεμόνι κατὰ τοῦ Παύλου.
2 When was invited then he began to accuse Tertullus saying; Great peace we are attaining through you and (excellent reforms *N(K)O*) are being done to the nation this [one] through your foresight
κληθέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤρξατο κατηγορεῖν ὁ Τέρτυλλος λέγων· Πολλῆς εἰρήνης τυγχάνοντες διὰ σοῦ καὶ ⸀διορθωμάτωνγινομένων τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ διὰ τῆς σῆς προνοίας
3 in every way both and everywhere we gladly accept [it], most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
πάντῃ τε καὶ πανταχοῦ ἀποδεχόμεθα, κράτιστε Φῆλιξ, μετὰ πάσης εὐχαριστίας.
4 In order that however not to any longer you I may be a hindrance, I implore to hear you us briefly in your kindness.
ἵνα δὲ μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖόν σε ἐγκόπτω, παρακαλῶ ἀκοῦσαί σε ἡμῶν συντόμως τῇ σῇ ἐπιεικείᾳ.
5 Having found for man this a pest and stirring (insurrections *N(K)O*) among all the Jews in the world a leader then of the of the Nazarenes sect;
εὑρόντες γὰρ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον λοιμὸν καὶ κινοῦντα ⸀στάσειςπᾶσι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τοῖς κατὰ τὴν οἰκουμένην πρωτοστάτην τε τῆς τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως,
6 who even the temple attempted to profane, whom also we seized (and according to our own law we wanted to judge. *K*)
ὃς καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπείρασεν βεβηλῶσαι, ὃν καὶ ⸀ἐκρατήσαμεν
7 (having come up now Lysias the commander with great violence from the hands of us being carried away, *K*)
8 (having commanded the accusers of him to come upon you; *K*) From him you will be able yourself having examined [him] concerning all these things to know of which we ourselves accuse him.
παρʼ οὗ δυνήσῃ αὐτὸς ἀνακρίνας περὶ πάντων τούτων ἐπιγνῶναι ὧν ἡμεῖς κατηγοροῦμεν αὐτοῦ.
9 (Agreed *N(k)O*) then also the Jews declaring these things so to be.
συνεπέθεντο δὲ καὶ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι φάσκοντες ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχειν.
10 Answered (then *N(k)O*) Paul, when was signalling to him the governor to speak: For many years as being you judge to nation this knowing [these] encouraging things, concerning myself I present a defense;
Ἀπεκρίθη ⸀τεὁ Παῦλος νεύσαντος αὐτῷ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος λέγειν· Ἐκ πολλῶν ἐτῶν ὄντα σε κριτὴν τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ ἐπιστάμενος ⸀εὐθύμωςτὰ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀπολογοῦμαι,
11 Being able you (to know *N(k)O*) that not more there are to me days (than *k*) (twelve *N(k)O*) from which I went up to then worship (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem;
δυναμένου σου ⸀ἐπιγνῶναι ὅτι οὐ πλείους εἰσίν μοι ἡμέραι ⸀δώδεκαἀφʼ ἧς ἀνέβην προσκυνήσων ⸀εἰςἸερουσαλήμ,
12 And neither in the temple did they find me with anyone reasoning or (obstruction *N(k)O*) making of a crowd nor in the synagogues nor in the city;
καὶ οὔτε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ εὗρόν με πρός τινα διαλεγόμενον ἢ ⸀ἐπίστασινποιοῦντα ὄχλου οὔτε ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς οὔτε κατὰ τὴν πόλιν,
13 (nor *N(k)O*) to prove are they able (to you *N(K)O*) concerning [the things] of which (now *N(k)O*) they accuse me.
⸀οὐδὲ⸀παραστῆσαιδύνανταί ⸀σοιπερὶ ὧν ⸀νυνὶκατηγοροῦσίν μου.
14 I confess however this to you that according to the Way which they name a sect so I serve the ancestral God believing in all [things] throughout the law and (that in *no*) the Prophets written,
ὁμολογῶ δὲ τοῦτό σοι ὅτι κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἣν λέγουσιν αἵρεσιν οὕτως λατρεύω τῷ πατρῴῳ θεῷ, πιστεύων πᾶσι τοῖς κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ ⸂τοῖς ἐν τοῖς προφήταις γεγραμμένοις,
15 a hope having in God which also they themselves await, [that] a resurrection to ensue to then be (of [the] dead-*K*) of [the] just both and of [the] unjust;
ἐλπίδα ἔχων εἰς τὸν θεόν, ἣν καὶ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι προσδέχονται, ἀνάστασιν μέλλειν ⸀ἔσεσθαιδικαίων τε καὶ ἀδίκων·
16 In this (also *N(k)O*) I myself strive without offense a conscience (to have *NK(o)*) toward God and men (through *N(K)O*) (all [times]. *N(k)O*)
ἐν τούτῳ ⸀καὶαὐτὸς ἀσκῶ ἀπρόσκοπον συνείδησιν ⸀ἔχεινπρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους διὰ παντός.
17 After years now many alms to then bring to the nation of mine I came and offerings,
διʼ ἐτῶν δὲ πλειόνων ⸂ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων εἰς τὸ ἔθνος μου παρεγενόμην καὶ προσφοράς,
18 during (which *N(k)O*) they found me purified in the temple not with a crowd nor in tumult, Some however [are] from Asia Jews
ἐν ⸀αἷςεὗρόν με ἡγνισμένον ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, οὐ μετὰ ὄχλου οὐδὲ μετὰ θορύβου,
19 who (it was necessary *N(k)O*) before you to appear and to make accusation, if anything they would have against me myself.
τινὲς δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀσίας Ἰουδαῖοι, οὓς ⸀ἔδειἐπὶ σοῦ παρεῖναι καὶ κατηγορεῖν εἴ τι ἔχοιεν πρὸς ⸀ἐμέ
20 Otherwise themselves it they should say (if *k*) any they found (in me myself *ko*) unrighteousness when was standing I before the Council,
ἢ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι εἰπάτωσαν τί ⸀εὗρονἀδίκημα στάντος μου ἐπὶ τοῦ συνεδρίου
21 [other] than concerning one this voice which I cried out among them standing that Concerning [the] resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged this day (by *N(k)O*) you.
ἢ περὶ μιᾶς ταύτης φωνῆς ἧς ἐκέκραξα ⸂ἐν αὐτοῖς ἑστὼς ὅτι Περὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν ἐγὼ κρίνομαι σήμερον ⸀ἐφʼὑμῶν.
22 (having heard these things *K*) deferred then them Felix more precisely knowing the [things] concerning the Way having said; When Lysias the commander may have come down, I will examine the [things] as to you.
⸂Ἀνεβάλετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁ Φῆλιξ, ἀκριβέστερον εἰδὼς τὰ περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, ⸀εἴπας Ὅταν Λυσίας ὁ χιλίαρχος καταβῇ διαγνώσομαι τὰ καθʼ ὑμᾶς·
23 having commanded (also *k*) to the centurion to keep (*k*) (him, *N(K)O*) to [let him] have then ease and not to forbid the private [friends] of him to minister (or to come near *K*) to him.
⸀διαταξάμενοςτῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ τηρεῖσθαι ⸀αὐτὸνἔχειν τε ἄνεσιν καὶ μηδένα κωλύειν τῶν ἰδίων αὐτοῦ ⸀ὑπηρετεῖναὐτῷ.
24 After then days some having arrived Felix with Drusilla the (own *N(k)O*) wife being a Jewess he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the in Christ (Jesus *NO*) faith.
Μετὰ δὲ ἡμέρας τινὰς παραγενόμενος ὁ Φῆλιξ σὺν Δρουσίλλῃ τῇ ⸀ἰδίᾳγυναικὶ οὔσῃ Ἰουδαίᾳ μετεπέμψατο τὸν Παῦλον καὶ ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ περὶ τῆς εἰς Χριστὸν ⸀Ἰησοῦνπίστεως.
25 When reasoning then he concerning righteousness and self-control and the judgment which is coming (to be [in the future] *K*) frightened having become Felix answered; For the present being do go away; opportunity then having found I will call for you;
διαλεγομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ περὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἐγκρατείας καὶ τοῦ κρίματος τοῦ ⸀μέλλοντοςἔμφοβος γενόμενος ὁ Φῆλιξ ἀπεκρίθη· Τὸ νῦν ἔχον πορεύου, καιρὸν δὲ μεταλαβὼν μετακαλέσομαί σε·
26 At the same time (now *k*) also he is hoping that riches will be given to him by Paul (so that may release him *K*) Therefore also often him sending for he was talking with him.
ἅμα καὶ ἐλπίζων ὅτι χρήματα δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τοῦ ⸀Παύλου διὸ καὶ πυκνότερον αὐτὸν μεταπεμπόμενος ὡμίλει αὐτῷ.
27 When two years however having been completed he received [as] successor Felix Porcius Festus, wishing then (favor *N(k)O*) to acquire for himself with the Jews Felix left Paul imprisoned.
Διετίας δὲ πληρωθείσης ἔλαβεν διάδοχον ὁ Φῆλιξ Πόρκιον Φῆστον· θέλων τε ⸀χάριτακαταθέσθαι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὁ Φῆλιξ κατέλιπε τὸν Παῦλον δεδεμένον.
