24:01 .. after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders .. with an attorney named Tertullus ..
......... and they brought charges to the governor against Paul
24:02 .. after Paul had been summoned .. Tertullus began to accuse him .. saying to the governor . . .
......... since we have through you attained much peace .. and since by your providence reforms are being carried out for this nation
24:03 .. we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere .. amost excellent Felix .. with all thankfulness
24:04 .. but .. that I may not weary you any further .. I beg you to grant us .. by your kindness .. a brief hearing
24:05 .. for we have found this man a real pest and a fellow who stirs up dissension among all the Jews throughout the world ..
......... and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes
24:06 .. and he even tried to desecrate the temple .. and then we arrested him .. (we wanted to judge him according to our own law
24:07 .. but Lysias the commander came along .. and with much violence took him out of our hands
24:08 .. ordering his accusers to come before you) .. by examining him yourself concerning all these matters you will be
......... able to ascertain the things of which we accuse him
24:09 .. the Jews also joined in the attack .. asserting that these things were so

24:10 .. when the governor had nodded for him to speak .. Paul responded . . . knowing that for many years you have been a judge to this nation ..
......... I cheerfully make my defense
24:11 .. since you can take note of the fact that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship
24:12 .. neither in the temple .. nor in the synagogues .. nor in the city itself did they find me carrying on a discussion with anyone or causing a riot
24:13 .. nor can they prove to you the charges of which they now accuse me
24:14 .. but this I admit to you .. that according to the way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers ..
......... believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets
24:15 .. having a hope in God .. which these men cherish themselves .. that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked
24:16 .. In view of this .. I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men

24:17 .. now after several years I bcame to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings
24:18 .. in which they found me occupied in the temple .. having been purified .. without any crowd or uproar ..
......... but there were some Jews from Asia
24:19 .. who ought to have been present before you and to make accusation .. if they should have anything against me
24:20 .. or else let these men themselves tell what misdeed they found when I stood before the council
24:21 .. other than for this one statement which aI shouted out while standing among them, ‘For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.’ ”
24:22 .. but Felix .. having a more exact knowledge about the way .. put them off .. saying . . . when Lysias the commander comes down ..
......... I will decide your case
24:23 .. then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody and yet have some freedom ..
......... and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to him
24:24 .. but some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla .. his wife who was a Jewess .. and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus
24:25 .. but as he was discussing righteousness .. self-control and the judgment to come .. Felix became frightened and said . . .
......... go away for the present .. and when I find time I will summon you
24:26 .. at the same time too .. he was hoping that money would be given him by Paul ..
......... therefore he also used to send for him quite often and converse with him
24:27 .. but after two years had passed .. Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus .. and wishing to do the Jews a favor .. Felix left Paul imprisoned

Every false cause can find men of sharp wits to plead it .. the truest Christian life is no fence against the hatred of the rejectors of Christ (John 15:18) .. but if God’s servants can speak with the language of a clear conscience .. they need have no fear .. the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them . . . . v 14 It is nothing new for the Scriptural and right way to worship to be called “heresy” .. Jesus Christ Himself was called a heretic
