Acts 24

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 post quinque autem dies descendit princeps sacerdotum Ananias cum senioribus quibusdam et Tertullo quodam oratore qui adierunt praesidem adversus Paulum

2 et citato Paulo coepit accusare Tertullus dicens cum in multa pace agamus per te et multa corrigantur per tuam providentiam

3 semper et ubique suscipimus optime Felix cum omni gratiarum actione

4 ne diutius autem te protraham oro breviter audias nos pro tua clementia

5 invenimus hunc hominem pestiferum et concitantem seditiones omnibus Iudaeis in universo orbe et auctorem seditionis sectae Nazarenorum

6 qui etiam templum violare conatus est quem et adprehendimus

7 []

8 a quo poteris ipse iudicans de omnibus istis cognoscere de quibus nos accusamus eum

9 adiecerunt autem et Iudaei dicentes haec ita se habere

10 respondit autem Paulus annuente sibi praeside dicere ex multis annis esse te iudicem genti huic sciens bono animo pro me satisfaciam

11 potes enim cognoscere quia non plus sunt dies mihi quam duodecim ex quo ascendi adorare in Hierusalem

12 et neque in templo invenerunt me cum aliquo disputantem aut concursum facientem turbae neque in synagogis neque in civitate

13 neque probare possunt tibi de quibus nunc accusant me

14 confiteor autem hoc tibi quod secundum sectam quam dicunt heresim sic deservio patrio Deo meo credens omnibus quae in lege et prophetis scripta sunt

15 spem habens in Deum quam et hii ipsi expectant resurrectionem futuram iustorum et iniquorum

16 in hoc et ipse studeo sine offendiculo conscientiam habere ad Deum et ad homines semper

17 post annos autem plures elemosynas facturus in gentem meam veni et oblationes et vota

18 in quibus invenerunt me purificatum in templo non cum turba neque cum tumultu

19 quidam autem ex Asia Iudaei quos oportebat apud te praesto esse et accusare si quid haberent adversum me

20 aut hii ipsi dicant si quid invenerunt in me iniquitatis cum stem in concilio

21 nisi de una hac solummodo voce qua clamavi inter eos stans quoniam de resurrectione mortuorum ego iudicor hodie a vobis

22 distulit autem illos Felix certissime sciens de via dicens cum tribunus Lysias descenderit audiam vos

23 iussitque centurioni custodiri eum et habere requiem nec quemquam prohibere de suis ministrare ei

24 post aliquot autem dies veniens Felix cum Drusilla uxore sua quae erat Iudaea vocavit Paulum et audivit ab eo fidem quae est in Iesum Christum

25 disputante autem illo de iustitia et castitate et de iudicio futuro timefactus Felix respondit quod nunc adtinet vade tempore autem oportuno accersiam te

26 simul et sperans quia pecunia daretur a Paulo propter quod et frequenter accersiens eum loquebatur cum eo

27 biennio autem expleto accepit successorem Felix Porcium Festum volens autem gratiam praestare Iudaeis Felix reliquit Paulum vinctum

Good News Translation GNT

1 Five days later the High Priest Ananias went to Caesarea with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus. They appeared before Governor Felix and made their charges against Paul.

2 Then Paul was called in, and Tertullus began to make his accusation, as follows: "Your Excellency! Your wise leadership has brought us a long period of peace, and many necessary reforms are being made for the good of our country.

3 We welcome this everywhere and at all times, and we are deeply grateful to you.

4 I do not want to take up too much of your time, however, so I beg you to be kind and listen to our brief account.

5 We found this man to be a dangerous nuisance; he starts riots among Jews all over the world and is a leader of the party of the Nazarenes.

6 He also tried to defile the Temple, and we arrested him.

8 If you question this man, you yourself will be able to learn from him all the things that we are accusing him of."

9 The Jews joined in the accusation and said that all this was true.

10 The governor then motioned to Paul to speak, and Paul said, "I know that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, and so I am happy to defend myself before you.

11 As you can find out for yourself, it was no more than twelve days ago that I went to Jerusalem to worship.

12 The Jews did not find me arguing with anyone in the Temple, nor did they find me stirring up the people, either in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city.

13 Nor can they give you proof of the accusations they now bring against me.

14 I do admit this to you: I worship the God of our ancestors by following that Way which they say is false. But I also believe in everything written in the Law of Moses and the books of the prophets.

15 I have the same hope in God that these themselves have, namely, that all people, both the good and the bad, will rise from death.

16 And so I do my best always to have a clear conscience before God and people.

17 "After being away from Jerusalem for several years, I went there to take some money to my own people and to offer sacrifices.

18 It was while I was doing this that they found me in the Temple after I had completed the ceremony of purification. There was no crowd with me and no disorder.

19 But some Jews from the province of Asia were there; they themselves ought to come before you and make their accusations if they have anything against me.

20 Or let these who are here tell what crime they found me guilty of when I stood before the Council -

21 except for the one thing I called out when I stood before them: "I am being tried by you today for believing that the dead will rise to life.' "

22 Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, brought the hearing to a close. "When the commander Lysias arrives," he told them, "I will decide your case."

23 He ordered the officer in charge of Paul to keep him under guard, but to give him some freedom and allow his friends to provide for his needs.

24 After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he talked about faith in Christ Jesus.

25 But as Paul went on discussing about goodness, self-control, and the coming Day of Judgment, Felix was afraid and said, "You may leave now. I will call you again when I get the chance."

26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would give him some money; and for this reason he would call for him often and talk with him.

27 After two years had passed, Porcius Festus succeeded Felix as governor. Felix wanted to gain favor with the Jews so he left Paul in prison.
