\subsection{Acts 24}
\VS{1} So after five days the chief priest Ananias came down with certain elders and 
[a] lawyer, a certain Tertullus, who informed the ruler against Paul. 
\VS{2} So 
having been called, Tertullus began to be accusing [him] saying: Attaining much 
peace through you, and reforms having come to pass to this nation through 
your foresight, 
\VS{3} always and everywhere we recognize, O most excellent 
Felix, with all gratitude. 
\VS{4} So in order that I not detain you further, 
I call upon you to hear us briefly in your fairness. 
\VS{5} For having found 
this man [a] pestilent [fellow], and moving to strife all the Jews against the world 
ruler, and of the sect of the Nazarenes, who even attempted to profane the 
temple, 
\VS{6} whom we also arrested, and according to our own law we wanted 
to judge. 
\VS{7} But Lusias the commander, having come with much violence, 
brought him out of our hands, 
\VS{8} having ordered his accusers to be 
coming to you, by which you yourself will be able, having examined 
concerning all these [things], to know what we accuse of him. 
\VS{9} So the Jews 
also joined in the attack, asserting to be having these [things] thusly. 
\VS{10} And 
Paul answered, the ruler having nodded to him, saying: Knowing that you have 
been judge to this nation for many years I cheerfully defend the [things], 
\VS{11} you being able to know that there are not more than twelve days to me from 
which I went up praying to Jerusalem. 
\VS{12} And they neither found me in 
the temple discussing with some nor making [an] attack of the people, neither in 
the synagogues nor in the city, 
\VS{13} nor are they able to present to you 
concerning what they now accuse of me. 
\VS{14} So I confess this to you, 
that according to the way which they call [a] sect, thus do I minister to the 
God of [my] fathers, believing in everything having been written in the law and 
the prophets, 
\VS{15} having hope in God, whom these themselves also accept, 
in the impending resurrection of the just and the unjust. 
\VS{16} In this I 
also engage myself, having [a] clear conscience to God and men in everything. 
\VS{17} But for more years I came doing mercies to my nation, and offerings, 
\VS{18} in which they found me purified in the temple, not with crowd or 
turmoil, 
\VS{19} but some Jews from Asia, who must be present before you and 
be accusing if [they] have anything against me. 
\VS{20} Or let\fnImperative{} these themselves say what injustice they found, 
having stood me before the council, 
\VS{21} or concerning this one voice 
which I cried out standing among them, that: Concerning [the] resurrection of the 
dead am I judged today by you. 
\VS{22} So Felix postponed them, carefully 
knowing the [things] concerning the Way, saying: When Lucias the commander comes 
down, I will determine the [things] according to you; 
\VS{23} having ordered the 
centurion to keep him, and him to be having freedom and to be hindering none 
of his own to be serving him. 
\VS{24} So after some days Felix, having 
arrived with Drusilla his wife being Jewish, he sent for Paul, and heard 
from him concerning belief in Christ Jesus. 
\VS{25} So while he was 
discussing concerning justice and self-control and the impending judgment, 
Felix having become frightened answered: For the time being be going, and 
having [an] opportune-time\fnKairos{} I will summon you; 
\VS{26} together also hoping that 
he will be given money by Paul. Therefore also having more often summoned 
him he conversed with him. 
\VS{27} So two years having been fulfilled, Felix 
received [his] successor Porkios Phestus. And wanting to grant the Jews [a] grace, 
Felix left Paul bound.
