that very worthy deeds°
are done°°
unto this°
nation°
by°
thy°
providence,° |

tedious°°°°°
unto thee,°
I pray°°
thee°
that thou°

us°
of thy°
clemency°
a few words.° |

who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: [and we would have judged him according to our law. |

|
24:9
And°
the°
Jews°
also°
assented,°°
saying°°
that these things°
were°°
so.° |
24:10
And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I cheerfully make my defense: |
|
24:10
Then°
Paul,°
after that the°
governor°
had beckoned°°
unto him°
to speak,°°
answered,°°
Forasmuch as I know°°
that thou°
hast been°°
of°
many°
years°
a judge°
unto this°
nation,°
I do°°
the more cheerfully°
answer°°
for°
myself:° |

that°
there are°°°
yet but°°°
twelve°
days°°
since°°
I°

But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; |
|
24:14
But°
this°
I confess°°
unto thee,°
that°
after°
the°
way°

the God°
of my fathers,°
believing°°
all things°
which°
are written°°
in°
the°
law°

But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter. |
|
24:22
And°
when Felix°
heard°°
these things,°
having more perfect°
knowledge°°°
of°
[that] way,°
he deferred°°
them,°
and said,°°
When°
Lysias°
the°
chief captain°
shall come down,°°
I will know the uttermost°°
of your°
matter.°° |
24:23
And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him. |

he commanded°°
a centurion°
to keep°°
Paul,°
and°
to let [him] have°°
liberty,°
and°
that he should forbid°°
none°
of his°
acquaintance°
to minister°°

come°°
unto°
him.° |

And as he reasoned of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me. |
|
24:25
And°
as he°
reasoned°°
of°
righteousness,°°
temperance,°°
and°
judgment°
to come,°°°°
Felix°
trembled,°°°
and answered,°°
Go thy way°°
for this time;°°

He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. |

and°
Felix,°

Jews°
a pleasure,°
left°°
Paul°
bound.°° |
