Paul's Defense Before Felix

10

Then Paul, after that the gouernour had beckened vnto him that hee shoulde speake, answered, I do the more gladly answere for my selfe, for as much as I knowe that thou hast bene of many yeres a iudge vnto this nation,

11

Seeing that thou mayest knowe, that there are but twelue dayes since I came vp to worship in Hierusalem.

12

And they neither found mee in the Temple disputing with any man, neither making vproare among the people, neither in the Synagogues, nor in the citie.

13

Neither can they proue the things, whereof they now accuse me.

14

But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way (which they call heresie) so worship I the God of my fathers, beleeuing all things which are written in the Lawe and the Prophets,

15

And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead, which they themselues looke for also, shalbe both of iust and vniust.

16

And herein I endeuour my selfe to haue alway a cleare conscience towarde God, and toward men.

17

Now after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation and offerings.

18

At what time, certaine Iewes of Asia founde mee purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

19

Who ought to haue bene present before thee, and accuse me, if they had ought against me.

20

Or let these themselues say, if they haue found any vniust thing in mee, while I stoode in the Council,

21

Except it be for this one voyce, that I cried standing among them, Of the resurrection of the dead am I accused of you this day.
