犹太人控告保罗

1过了五天，大祭司亚拿尼亚同几个长老，和一个辩士帖土罗下来，向巡抚控告保罗。

2保罗被提了来，帖土罗就告他说：

3「腓力斯大人，我们因你得以大享太平，并且这一国的弊病，因着你的先见得以更正了；我们随时随地满心感谢不尽。

4惟恐多说，你嫌烦絮，只求你宽容听我们说几句话。

5我们看这个人，如同瘟疫一般，是鼓动普天下众犹太人生乱的，又是拿撒勒教党里的一个头目，

6-连圣殿他也想要污秽；我们把他捉住了。

8你自己究问他，就可以知道我们告他的一切事了。」

9众犹太人也随着告他说：「事情诚然是这样。」

保罗为自己辩护

10巡抚点头叫保罗说话。他就说：「我知道你在这国里断事多年，所以我乐意为自己分诉。

11你查问就可以知道，从我上耶路撒冷礼拜到今日不过有十二天。

12他们并没有看见我在殿里，或是在会堂里，或是在城里，和人辩论，耸动众人。

13他们现在所告我的事并不能对你证实了。

14但有一件事，我向你承认，就是他们所称为异端的道，我正按着那道事奉我祖宗的 神，又信合乎律法的和先知书上一切所记载的，

15并且靠着 神，盼望死人，无论善恶，都要复活，就是他们自己也有这个盼望。

16我因此自己勉励，对 神对人，常存无亏的良心。

17过了几年，我带着周济本国的捐项和供献的物上去。

18正献的时候，他们看见我在殿里已经洁净了，并没有聚众，也没有吵嚷，惟有几个从亚细亚来的犹太人。

19他们若有告我的事，就应当到你面前来告我。

20即或不然，这些人若看出我站在公会前，有妄为的地方，他们自己也可以说明。

21纵然有，也不过一句话，就是我站在他们中间大声说：『我今日在你们面前受审，是为死人复活的道理。』」

22腓力斯本是详细晓得这道，就支吾他们说：「且等千夫长吕西亚下来，我要审断你们的事。」

23于是吩咐百夫长看守保罗，并且宽待他，也不拦阻他的亲友来供给他。

腓力斯留保罗在监里

24过了几天，腓力斯和他夫人—犹太的女子土西拉—一同来到，就叫了保罗来，听他讲论信基督耶稣的道。

25保罗讲论公义、节制，和将来的审判。腓力斯甚觉恐惧，说：「你暂且去吧，等我得便再叫你来。」

26腓力斯又指望保罗送他银钱，所以屡次叫他来，和他谈论。

27过了两年，波求·非斯都接了腓力斯的任；腓力斯要讨犹太人的喜欢，就留保罗在监里。

1And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator — Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor [the things] against Paul;

2and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, 'Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through thy forethought,

3always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;

4and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;

5for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world — a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes —

6who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,

7and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,

8having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;'

9and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.

10And Paul answered — the governor having beckoned to him to speak — 'Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;

11thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,

12and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;

13nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.

14'And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,

15having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;

16and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

17'And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,

18in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,

19whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,

20or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,

21except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them — Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.'

22And having heard these things, Felix delayed them — having known more exactly of the things concerning the way — saying, 'When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;'

23having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him.

24And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

25and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, 'For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;'

26and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him;

27and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.
