SO after five days Ananias the high-priest went down with the elders, and a certain rhetorician, Tertullus, who made their appearance before the governor against Paul.
2 to call: call then it/s/he be first to accuse the/this/who Tertullus to say much peace to obtain/happen through/because of you and (reformation *N(K)O*) to be the/this/who Gentiles this/he/she/it through/because of the/this/who you foresight
And he being summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Since by thee we enjoy so much peace, and such noble acts are happily performed for this nation by thy provident administration,
3 always and/both and everywhere to receive excellent Felix with/after all thankfulness
always and in all places we acknowledge it, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
4 in order that/to then not upon/to/against greater you to impede to plead/comfort to hear you me concisely the/this/who you gentleness
Now that I may not be unnecessarily tedious to thee, I entreat thee to hear us briefly with thy wonted candour.

For we found this fellow a pest to society, and exciting sedition among all the Jews throughout the whole world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazareans:
6 which and the/this/who temple to test/tempt: try to profane which and to grasp/seize (and according to the/this/who I/we law to will/desire to judge *K*)
who even attempted to profane the temple: we seized him therefore, and intended to judge him according to our own law.
7 (to pass by then Lysias the/this/who military officer with/after much force out from the/this/who hand me to lead away *K*)
But Lysias the tribune came, and with great violence took him out of our hands,
8 (to order the/this/who accuser it/s/he to come/go upon/to/against you *K*) from/with/beside which be able it/s/he to investigate about all this/he/she/it to come to know which me to accuse it/s/he
commanding his accusers to appear before thee: whereby thou mayest thyself be able after examination to know the certainty of those things whereof we accuse him.
9 (to join in making an attack *N(k)O*) then and the/this/who Jew to claim this/he/she/it thus(-ly) to have/be
Then the Jews also joined in affirming, that these things were so.
10 to answer (and/both *N(k)O*) the/this/who Paul to motion it/s/he the/this/who ruler to say out from much year to be you judge the/this/who Gentiles this/he/she/it to know/understand encouraging the/this/who about I/we to defend oneself
But Paul (the governor having made him a sign to speak) replied, Knowing that for so many years thou hast been the judge of this nation, I with the more confidence offer my defence respecting the matters which concern me:
11 be able you (to come to know *N(k)O*) that/since: that no much to be me day (or *k*) (twelve *N(k)O*) away from which to ascend to worship (toward *N(k)O*) Jerusalem
as thou mayest be ascertained, that it is not more than twelve days ago since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
12 and neither in/on/among the/this/who temple to find/meet me to/with one to dispute or (stoppage *N(k)O*) to do/make: do crowd neither in/on/among the/this/who synagogue neither according to the/this/who city
And neither in the temple found they me disputing with any man, nor raising any sedition among the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 (nor *N(k)O*) to stand by be able (you *N(K)O*) about which (now *N(k)O*) to accuse me
neither can they produce any proof of the facts of which they accuse me.
14 to confess/profess then this/he/she/it you that/since: that according to the/this/who road which to say: call sect thus(-ly) to minister the/this/who ancestral God to trust (in) all the/this/who according to the/this/who law and (the/this/who in/on/among *no*) the/this/who prophet to write
But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call a sect, so worship I the God of our ancestors, believing all things that are written in the law, and in the prophets:
15 hope to have/be toward the/this/who God which and it/s/he this/he/she/it to wait for/welcome resurrection to ensue to be (dead *K*) just and/both and unjust
and having hope in God, the same which they also profess to look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust.
16 in/on/among this/he/she/it (and *N(k)O*) it/s/he to strive not giving offence conscience (to have/be *NK(o)*) to/with the/this/who God and the/this/who a human (through/because of *N(K)O*) (all *N(k)O*)
For this cause indeed I exert my utmost care to keep my conscience ever unoffending towards God and towards man.
17 through/because of year then greater charity to do/make: do toward the/this/who Gentiles me to come and offering
Now after many years absence I was returned bringing alms to my countrymen, and oblations to the temple.

In the discharge of which offices certain Jews of Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with a multitude, nor with any tumult.
19 which (be necessary *N(k)O*) upon/to/against you be present and to accuse if one to have/be to/with I/we
Who ought to have appeared before thee, and prefer their accusation, if they had any thing against me.
20 or it/s/he this/he/she/it to say (if *k*) which? to find/meet (in/on/among I/we *ko*) crime to stand me upon/to/against the/this/who council
Or let the persons themselves here present say, if they found any thing criminal in me, when I stood before the sanhedrim,
21 or about one this/he/she/it voice/sound: voice which to cry in/on/among it/s/he to stand that/since: that about resurrection dead I/we to judge today (upon/to/against *N(k)O*) you
except for this one sentence, which I uttered aloud when I was standing among them, For the resurrection of the dead am I this day judged by you.
22 (to hear this/he/she/it *K*) to defer then it/s/he the/this/who Felix stricter to know the/this/who about the/this/who road to say when(-ever) Lysias the/this/who military officer to come/go down to decide the/this/who according to you
When Felix then heard these things he put them off, (for he knew very exactly all that related to that way, ) saying, When Lysias the tribune is come down, I will inquire thoroughly into the matters between you.
23 to direct (and/both *k*) the/this/who centurion to keep: guard (the/this/who *k*) (it/s/he *N(K)O*) to have/be and/both rest and nothing to prevent the/this/who one's own/private it/s/he to serve (or to come near/agree *K*) it/s/he
And he commanded the centurion that Paul should be safe kept, yet have no close confinement, and not to hinder any of his friends from supplying his wants, or visiting him.
24 with/after then day one to come the/this/who Felix with Drusilla the/this/who (one's own/private *N(k)O*) woman: wife to be Jew to summon the/this/who Paul and to hear it/s/he about the/this/who toward Christ (Jesus *NO*) faith
Now after some days, Felix returning with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

And as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment which is ready to be revealed, Felix being greatly terrified, replied, Go, for the present, I will some time hence take another opportunity of calling for thee.
26 together (then *k*) and to hope/expect that/since: that money to give it/s/he by/under: by the/this/who Paul (that to loose it/s/he *K*) therefore and often it/s/he to summon to talk it/s/he
Indeed he had also entertained hope that money would be given him by Paul, in order to release him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and conversed with him.
