| - | * [[Acts 23:1 (TRV)|1]] Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, “Men ''and'' brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:2 (TRV)|2]] And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:3 (TRV)|3]] Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, ''you'' whitewashed wall! Because, you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:4 (TRV)|4]] And those who stood by said, “Do you revile God’s high priest?”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:5 (TRV)|5]] Then Paul said, “I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; because it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:6 (TRV)|6]] But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the council, “Men ''and'' brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being questioned!”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:7 (TRV)|7]] And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:8 (TRV)|8]] Because, Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:9 (TRV)|9]] Then there arose a loud uproar. And the scribes ''who were'' of the Pharisees’ company arose and protested, saying, “We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:10 (TRV)|10]] Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring [[him]] into the barracks.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:11 (TRV)|11]] But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, <span style="color:red">“Be of good cheer Paul; because, as you have testified of Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” </span>
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:12 (TRV)|12]] And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:13 (TRV)|13]] Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:14 (TRV)|14]] They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:15 (TRV)|15]] Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:16 (TRV)|16]] So when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:17 (TRV)|17]] Then Paul called one of the centurions to ''him'' and said, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has something to tell him.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:18 (TRV)|18]] So he took him and brought ''him'' to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me to ''him'' and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:19 (TRV)|19]] Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside with ''him'', and asked ''him'' privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:20 (TRV)|20]] And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask that you bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire more fully about him.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:21 (TRV)|21]] But do not yield to them, because more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink until they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:22 (TRV)|22]] So ''then'' the commander let the young man depart, and commanded ''him'', ''“''See'' that you'' tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:23 (TRV)|23]] And he called two centurions to ''himself'', saying, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:24 (TRV)|24]] and provide ''for them'' animals to set Paul upon, and bring ''him'' safely to Felix the governor.”
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:25 (TRV)|25]] Then he wrote a letter in the following manner:
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:26 (TRV)|26]] Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: ''I send'' Greetings.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:27 (TRV)|27]] This man was seized by the Jews and would have been killed by them. Then I came with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:28 (TRV)|28]] And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:29 (TRV)|29]] I perceived that he was accused concerning questions of their law, but had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:30 (TRV)|30]] And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges ''they had'' against him. Farewell.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:31 (TRV)|31]] Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought ''him'' by night to Antipatris.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:32 (TRV)|32]] On the next day, they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the barracks.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:33 (TRV)|33]] Who when they came to Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:34 (TRV)|34]] And when the governor had read ''the letter'', he asked what province he was from. And when he understood that ''he was'' from Cilicia,
| + | |
| - | * [[Acts 23:35 (TRV)|35]] he said, “I will hear you when your accusers also have come.” And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
