Chapter 23

¹ AND Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
² And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
³ Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
⁴ And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
⁵ And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
⁶ And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
⁷ And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
⁹ And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
¹⁰ And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
¹¹ And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
¹² And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
¹³ And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
¹⁴ Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
¹⁵ Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
¹⁶ Which when Paul's sister's son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
¹⁷ And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
¹⁸ And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
¹⁹ And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
²⁰ And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul to morrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
²¹ But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
²² The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
²³ Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
²⁴ And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
²⁵ (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
²⁶ Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
²⁷ This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
²⁸ And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
²⁹ Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
³⁰ And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
³¹ Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
³² And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
³³ Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
³⁴ And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
³⁵ I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

Chapter 23

¹ And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
² And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him, to strike him on the mouth.
³ Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
⁴ And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
⁵ Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
⁶ But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
⁷ And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
⁹ And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
¹⁰ And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul would have been pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
¹¹ And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear testimony also at Rome.
¹² And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
¹³ And they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy.
¹⁴ And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
¹⁵ Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain, that he bring him down to you to-morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before he shall come near, are ready to kill him.
¹⁶ And when the son of Paul's sister heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
¹⁷ Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
¹⁸ So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and prayed me to bring this young man to thee, who hath something to say to thee.
¹⁹ Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring down Paul to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat concerning him more perfectly.
²¹ But do not thou yield to them: for there are of them who lie in wait for him more than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now they are ready, looking for a promise from thee.
²² So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shown these things to me.
²³ And he called to him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
²⁴ And provide for them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
²⁵ And he wrote a letter after this manner:
²⁶ Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix, sendeth greeting.
²⁷ This man was taken by the Jews, and would have been killed by them: then I came with a body of soldiers, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
²⁸ And when I would have known the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
²⁹ Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death, or of bonds.
³⁰ And when it was told to me that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent forthwith to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also, to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
³¹ Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
³² On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
³³ Who, when they came to Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
³⁴ And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia,
³⁵ I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers also have come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment-hall.

Chapter 23

¹ And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.
² But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.
³ Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And *thou*, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?
⁴ And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?
⁵ And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people.
⁶ But Paul, knowing that the one part [of them] were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, *I* am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: *I* am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of [the] dead.
⁷ And when he had spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.
⁸ For Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.
⁹ And there was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel ...
¹⁰ And a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the fortress.
¹¹ But the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also.
¹² And when it was day, the Jews, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill Paul.
¹³ And they were more than forty who had joined together in this oath;
¹⁴ and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.
¹⁵ Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.
¹⁶ But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to Paul.
¹⁷ And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.
¹⁸ He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.
¹⁹ And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to me?
²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him.
²¹ Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.
²² The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding [him], Utter to no one that thou hast represented these things to me.
²³ And having called to [him] certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for the third hour of the night.
²⁴ And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry [him] safe through to Felix the governor,
²⁵ having written a letter, couched in this form:
²⁶ Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
²⁷ This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learned that he was a Roman.
²⁸ And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
²⁹ whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthy of death or of bonds.
³⁰ But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]
³¹ The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris,
³² and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.
³³ And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.
³⁴ And having read [it], and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned that [he was] of Cilicia,
³⁵ he said, I will hear thee fully when thine accusers also are arrived. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.

Chapter 23

¹ And Paul, looking fixedly at the Sanhedrin, said, My brothers, my life has been upright before God till this day.
² And the high priest, Ananias, gave orders to those who were near him to give him a blow on the mouth.
³ Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law?
⁴ And those who were near said, Do you say such words against God's high priest?
⁵ And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.
⁶ But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead.
⁷ And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting.
⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these.
⁹ And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?
¹⁰ And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.
¹¹ And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.
¹² And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.
¹³ And more than forty of them took this oath.
¹⁴ And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death
¹⁵ So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.
¹⁶ But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.
¹⁷ And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him.
¹⁸ So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.
¹⁹ And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?
²⁰ And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.
²¹ But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.
²² So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.
²³ And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:
²⁴ And get beasts so that they may put Paul on them, and take him safely to Felix, the ruler.
²⁵ And he sent a letter in these words:
²⁶ Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.
²⁷ This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.
²⁸ And, desiring to get at the reason for their attack on him, I took him down to their Sanhedrin:
²⁹ Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.
³⁰ And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you.
³¹ So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.
³² But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:
³³ And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.
³⁴ And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,
³⁵ I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
