Acts 24:10-16 Then the governor made signs to Paul, that he should speak. And Paul answered and said: I know thee to have been a judge of this nation for many years, and I therefore cheerfully enter upon a defence of myself.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Then the governor made signs to Paul, that he should speak. And Paul answered and said: I know thee to have been a judge of this nation for many years, and I therefore cheerfully enter upon a defence of myself. ¹¹ Because thou canst understand, that there have been but twelve days, since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. ¹² And they did not find me talking with any person in the temple, nor collecting any company, either in their synagogues, or in the city. ¹³ Nor have they the power to prove, before thee, the things of which they now accuse me. ¹⁴ But this indeed I acknowledge, that in that same doctrine of which they speak, I do serve the God of my fathers, believing all the things written in the law and in the prophets. ¹⁵ And I have a hope in God, which they also themselves expect, that there is to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the wicked. ¹⁶ And for this reason, I also labor to have always a pure conscience before God, and before men.
