Kisah Para Rasul 24:1-25

The Accusations Against Paul

24:1 After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought formal charges against Paul to the governor. 24:2 When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “We have experienced a lengthy time of peace through your rule, and reforms 10  are being made in this nation 11  through your foresight. 12  24:3 Most excellent Felix, 13  we acknowledge this everywhere and in every way 14  with all gratitude. 15  24:4 But so that I may not delay 16  you any further, I beg 17  you to hear us briefly 18  with your customary graciousness. 19  24:5 For we have found 20  this man to be a troublemaker, 21  one who stirs up riots 22  among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader 23  of the sect of the Nazarenes. 24  24:6 He 25  even tried to desecrate 26  the temple, so we arrested 27  him. 24:7 [[EMPTY]] 28  24:8 When you examine 29  him yourself, you will be able to learn from him 30  about all these things we are accusing him of doing.” 31  24:9 The Jews also joined in the verbal attack, 32  claiming 33  that these things were true.

Paul’s Defense Before Felix

24:10 When the governor gestured for him to speak, Paul replied, “Because I know 34  that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I confidently make my defense. 35  24:11 As you can verify 36  for yourself, not more than twelve days ago 37  I went up to Jerusalem 38  to worship. 24:12 They did not find me arguing 39  with anyone or stirring up a crowd 40  in the temple courts 41  or in the synagogues 42  or throughout the city, 43  24:13 nor can they prove 44  to you the things 45  they are accusing me of doing. 46  24:14 But I confess this to you, that I worship 47  the God of our ancestors 48  according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law 49  and that is written in the prophets. 24:15 I have 50  a hope in God (a hope 51  that 52  these men 53  themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. 54  24:16 This is the reason 55  I do my best to always 56  have a clear 57  conscience toward God and toward people. 58  24:17 After several years 59  I came to bring to my people gifts for the poor 60  and to present offerings, 61  24:18 which I was doing when they found me in the temple, ritually purified, 62  without a crowd or a disturbance. 63  24:19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia 64  who should be here before you and bring charges, 65  if they have anything against me. 24:20 Or these men here 66  should tell what crime 67  they found me guilty of 68  when I stood before the council, 69  24:21 other than 70  this one thing 71  I shouted out while I stood before 72  them: ‘I am on trial before you today concerning the resurrection of the dead.’” 73 

24:22 Then Felix, 74  who understood the facts 75  concerning the Way 76  more accurately, 77  adjourned their hearing, 78  saying, “When Lysias the commanding officer comes down, I will decide your case.” 79  24:23 He ordered the centurion 80  to guard Paul, 81  but to let him have some freedom, 82  and not to prevent any of his friends 83  from meeting his needs. 84 

Paul Speaks Repeatedly to Felix

24:24 Some days later, when Felix 85  arrived with his wife Drusilla, 86  who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him speak 87  about faith in Christ Jesus. 88  24:25 While Paul 89  was discussing 90  righteousness, self-control, 91  and the coming judgment, Felix 92  became 93  frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, 94  I will send for you.”
