10 Then Paul, after that the gouernour had beckened vnto him to speake, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many yeeres a Iudge vnto this nation, I do the more cheerefully answere for my selfe:
11 Because that thou mayest vnderstand, that there are yet but twelue dayes, since I went vp to Hierusalem for to worship.
12 And they neither found me in the Temple disputing with any man, neither raising vp the people, neither in the Synagogues, nor in the citie:
13 Neither can they proue the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way which they call heresie, so worship I the God of my fathers, beleeuing all things which are written in the Law and the Prophets,
15 And haue hope towards God, which they themselues also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the iust and vniust.
16 And herein doe I exercise my selfe to haue alwayes a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
17 Now after many yeeres, I came to bring almes to my nation, & offrings:
18 Wherupon certaine Iewes from Asia found me purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult:
19 Who ought to haue beene here before thee, and obiect, if they had ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they haue found any euill doing in mee, while I stood before the Councill,
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 And when Felix heard these things, hauing more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them and said, When Lysias the chiefe captaine shall come downe, I will know the vttermost of your matter.
23 And he commanded a Centurion to keepe Paul, and to let him haue libertie, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister, or come vnto him.
