Now G1161 after G3326 five G4002 days G2250 the high G749 priest G749 Ananias G367 came G2597 down G2597 with some G5100 elders G4245 and an attorney G4489 named Tertullus G5061, and they [fn]brought G1718 charges G1718 against G2596 Paul G3972 to the governor G2232.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:5 - “For we have found G2147 this G3778 man G435 a public G3061 menace G3061 and one who stirs G2795 up G2795 dissensions G4714 among all G3956 the Jews G2453 throughout G2596 [fn]the world G3625, and a ringleader G4414 of the sect G139 of the Nazarenes G3480.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:10 -

And when the governor G2232 had nodded G3506 for him to speak G3004, Paul G3972 responded G611:

“Knowing G1987 that for many G4183 years G2094 you have been G1510 a judge G2923 to this G3778 nation G1484, I cheerfully G6039 make G626 my defense G626,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:11 - since you can G1410 take G1921 note G1921 of the G3754 fact G3754 that G3754 no G3756 more G4183 than twelve G1427 days G2250 ago G575 I went G305 up G305 to Jerusalem G2419 to worship G4352.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:15 - having G2192 a hope G1680 in God G2316, which G3739 these G3778 men G3778 cherish G4327 themselves G846, that there shall certainly G3195 be a resurrection G386 of both G5037 the righteous G1342 and the wicked G94.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:17 - “Now G1161 after G1223 several G4183 years G2094 I came G3854 to bring G4160 charitable G1654 gifts G1654 to my nation G1484 and to present G4160 offerings G4376,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:18 - in which G3739 they found G2147 me occupied in the temple G2413, having been purified G48, without G3326 G3756 any crowd G3793 or G3761 uproar G2351. But there were some G5100 Jews G2453 from [fn]Asia G773
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:19 - who G3739 ought G1163 to have been G3918 present G3918 before G1909 you and to have been bringing G2723 charges G2723, if G1487 they should have G2192 anything G5100 against G4314 me.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:20 - “Or G2228 else have these G3778 men G3778 themselves G846 declare G3004 what G5101 violation G92 they discovered G2147 when I stood G2476 before G1909 the [fn]Council G4892,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:21 - other G2228 than G2228 in G4012 regard G4012 to G4012 this G3778 one G1520 declaration G5456 which G3739 I shouted G2896 while standing G2476 among G1722 them, ‘For the resurrection G386 of the dead G3498 I am on G2919 trial G2919 before G1909 you today G4594!’”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:22 -

But Felix G5344, [fn]having G6063 quite G199 accurate G199 knowledge G6063 about G4012 [fn]the Way G3598, adjourned G306 them, saying G3004, “When G3752 Lysias G3079 the commander G5506 comes G2597 down G2597, I will decide G1231 your case G3588 G2596.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 24:24 -

Now G1161 some G5100 days G2250 later G3326 Felix G5344 arrived G3854 with Drusilla G1409 his [fn]wife G1135, who was Jewish G2453, and he sent G3343 for Paul G3972 and heard G191 him speak about G4012 faith G4102 in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424.
