Acts 24:10-21 ▼

10 But Paul (whan the debyte had beckened vnto him, that he shulde speake) answered: Seynge I knowe that thou hast bene iudge now many yeares amonge this people, I wil not be afrayed to answere for my selfe,

11 because that thou mayest knowe, that there are yet no more but twolue dayes sence I came vp to Ierusalem for to worshippe,

12 and that they nether founde me in the temple disputinge with eny man, or makynge eny vproure amonge the people, ner in ye synagoges, ner in the cite:

13 nether can they proue the thinges, wherof they accuse me.

14 But this I confesse vnto the, that after this waye which they call heresye, so worshippe I the God of my fathers, that I beleue all that is wrytten in the lawe and in the prophetes,

15 and haue hope towardes God, that the same resurreccion of the deed (which they them selues loke for also) shalbe, both of the iust and vniust.

16 Therfore studye I to haue allwaye a cleare conscience towarde God and towarde men.

17 But after many yeares I came and broughte allmesse vnto my people, and offeringes:

18 whervpon they founde me purifyed in the temple without eny maner of rumoure or vnquyetnesse. Howbeit there were certayne Iewes out of Asia,

19 which shulde be here presente before the, and accuse me, yf they had oughte agaynst me:

20 or els lett these same here saye, yf they haue founde eny vnrighteousnes in me, whyle I stonde here before ye councell:

21 excepte it be for this one worde, that I cried stondinge amonge them: Of the resurreccion off the deed am I iudged of you this daye.
