1 And staring at the sanhedrim, Paulos says, Men and brothers, in all good conscience I citizenize in front of Elohim until this day.
2 - and the archpriest Hanan Yah orders those standing by him to strike him on the mouth.
3 Then Paulos says to him, Elohim is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall: for sit you to judge me after the torah, and summon me to be stricken contrary to the torah?
4 And they who stand by say, Abuse you the archpriest of Elohim?
5 So Paulos says, I knew not, brothers, that he is the archpriest. - for it is scribed, You, say no evil of the arch of your people.
6 But Paulos, knowing that the one part are Sadoqiym and the other Phariseess, he cries out in the sanhedrim, Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am judged.
7 And when he thus speaks, so be it, a riot between the Phariseess and the Sadoqiym: and the multitude schisms:
8 for the Sadoqiym indeed word that there is neither resurrection nor angel nor spirit: but the Phariseess profess both.
9 And so be it, a mega cry: and the scribes of the part of the Pharisees rise and fight fiercely, wording, We find no evil in this human: and if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, that we not resist Elohim.
10 And so be it, a vast riot, and the chiliarch fearing, lest Paulos be thoroughly drawn apart by them, summons the warriors to descend and to seize him from among them; and to bring him into the encampment.

ADONAY ENCOURAGES PAULOS
And the next night Adonay stands by him, and says, Courage, Paulos! For as you witnessed about me in Yeru Shalem, thus you must also witness at Rome. 12
THE COALITION OF THE YAH HUDIYM
And being day, some of the Yah Hudiym make a coalition and anathematize themselves, wording to neither eat nor drink until they slaughter Paulos: 13 and more than forty make this conspiracy. 14 And they come to the archpriests and elders, and say, We anathematized ourselves under a great anathema, to taste naught until we slaughter Paulos: 15 so now you and the sanhedrim manifest to the chiliarch to bring him down to you tomorrow - as though to know more exactly about him: and ere he approaches, we are prepared to take him out. 16 And the son of the sister of Paulos hears of their lurking, and he comes and enters the encampment and evangelizes to Paulos. 17 And Paulos calls one of the centurions to him, and says, Bring this youth to the chiliarch: for he has somewhat to evangelize to him. 18 So indeed he takes him, and brings him to the chiliarch, and says, Paulos the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this youth to you - who has somewhat to speak to you. 19 And the chiliarch takes him by the hand, and withdraws privately, and asks him, What have you to evangelize to me? 20 And he says, The Yah Hudiym covenanted to ask you to bring Paulos down to the sanhedrim tomorrow, as though to enquire somewhat more exactly of him: 21 so let them not convince you: for more than forty of their men lurk for him, who anathematized themselves to neither eat nor drink until they take him out: and now they are prepared - awaiting a pre-evangelism from you. 22 So indeed, the chiliarch releases the youth, and evangelizes him, You, divulge to no one that you manifest these to me. 23
ON TO KAISARIA
And he calls two centurions, saying, Prepare two hundred warriors to go to Kaisaria and seventy horsemen and two hundred right receivers from the third hour of the night; 24 and present animals for Paulos to mount to bring him safe to Phelix the governor. 25 And he scribes an epistle containing this type: 26 Claudius Lysias: To the most powerful governor Phelix: Cheers. 27 This man was taken by the Yah Hudiym, and they were about to take him out: and having learned he is a Roman I stood by with warriors and released him: 28 and when I willed to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him to their sanhedrim: 29 and I found him to be accused of questions about their torah; but to have no accusation worthy of death or of bonds: 30 and when it was disclosed how the Yah Hudiym plotted for the man, I immediately sent to you, and also evangelized to his accusers to word to you what they have against him. Farewell. 31 So indeed the warriors, as they were ordained, take Paulos, and bring him through the night to Antipatris: 32 and on the morrow, they allow the cavalry to go with him and return to the encampment: 33 who, when they enter Kaisaria, and give the epistle to the governor, they also present Paulos in front of him. 34 And the governor reads, and he asks of what province he is. And when he asks, he says, Of Cilicia. 35 And he says, I hear you patiently when your accusers also come. - and he summons him to be guarded in the praetorium of Herod.
