Acts 24:18

Acts 24:18

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.”

Amidst which (en ail). That is, "in which offerings" (in presenting which offerings, Acts 21:27).

They found me (my accusers here present, euron me),

purified in the temple (hgnismenon en tw ierw). Perfect passive participle of agnizw (same verb in Acts 21:24, Acts 21:26) state of completion of the Jewish sacrifices which had gone on for seven days (Acts 21:27), the very opposite of the charges made.

With no crowd (ou meta oxlou). "Not with a crowd" till the Asiatic Jews gathered one (Acts 21:27).

Nor yet with tumult (oude meta qorubou). They made the tumult (Acts 27:30), not Paul. Till they made the stir, all was quiet.
