10 In answer to this, when the general beckoned to him to speak, Paul replied. Knowing that thou hast been for many years a judge to this nation, I enter upon my defence with the more cheerfulness,
11 as thou canst know that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12 And they neither found me disputing with any man in the temple; nor raising sedition among the people, either in the synagogues or in the city:
13 nor can they prove any of the things which they now lay to my charge.
14 But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing all the institutes of the law and the writings of the prophets;
15 having a confidence in God, which they themselves also entertain, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust;
16 and with this I exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence before God and men continually.
17 Now after many years I went to bring contributions for my nation and religious offerings;
18 in which [services] some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, without crowd or tumult.
19 Those ought to have been present before thee, and to bring their accusation, if they had, any against me.
20 Or let these men themselves say whether, when I stood before the Sanhedrim, they found any crime in me;
21 unless it be for this single expression which I uttered while standing among them, "That for the resurrection of the dead I am this day to be judged by you."
