11 because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem ^ato worship.

12 ^aAnd they neither found me in the temple disputing with anyone nor inciting the crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.

13 Nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.

14 But this I confess to you, that according to ^athe Way which they call a sect, so I worship the ^bGod of my fathers, believing all things which are written in ^cthe Law and in the Prophets.

15 ^aI have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, ^bthat there will be a resurrection¹ of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.
