Acts 24:15
Compare all
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.  
16 aThis being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.  
17 “Now after many years aI came to bring alms and offerings to my nation,  
18 ain the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me bpurified in the temple, neither with a mob nor with tumult.  
19 aThey ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me.  
20 Or else let those who are here themselves say1 if they found any wrongdoing in me while I stood before the council,  
21 unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, a‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day.’ ”  

Felix Procrastinates

22 But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the aWay, he adjourned the proceedings and said, “When bLysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.”  
23 So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and atold him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him.  
24 And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the afaith in Christ.  
25 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.”
26 Meanwhile he also hoped that amoney would be given him by Paul,1 that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.  
27 But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, awanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.
