¹³ At that time Daniel came in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, Is it thou, Daniel, which is from the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah?

⁴ Then the presidents and satraps were seeking to find a pretext against Daniel from the part of the kingdom; and they will not be able to find any pretext and corruption, because that he was faithful, and any error and corruption was not found upon him. ⁵ Then these men saying that, We shall not find against this Daniel any pretext except we shall find against him in the law of his God. ⁶ Then these presidents and satraps ran together with tumult to the king, and saying thus to him, O Darius the king, live thou forever. ⁷ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and satraps, and counselors and governors, will counsel together to set up a statute of the kingdom, and to make strong an interdict that whoever shall seek a request from any God and man even to thirty days, except from thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now, O king, wilt thou set up the interdict, and sign the writing, that not to be changed according to the law of Media and Persia, which shall not pass away. ⁹ For this cause, king Darius signed the writing and the interdict ¹⁰ And Daniel as soon as he knew that the writing was signed, went up into his house; and the windows being opened to him in his upper chambers before Jerusalem, three times in the day he kneeled upon his knees, and praying and praising before his God, for the cause that he did from before this ¹¹ Then these men ran together with tumult and found Daniel seeking and making supplication before his God. ¹² At that time they drew near, and saying before the king concerning the interdict of the king, Didst thou not sign an interdict that every man that shall seek from any God and man even for thirty days, except from thee, O King, shall be cast into the den of lions?

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a King. ³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou King of the Jews? And he having answered, said to him, Thou sayest. ⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing blameworthy in this man. ⁵ And they were strong, saying, That he stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.

²² Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such worshipping him.

⁵ Wherefore was not this perfumed oil sold for three hundred drachmas, and given to the poor? ⁶ And this he said, not that care was to him for the poor: but because he was a thief, and had the small coffer, and carried things deposited.

¹² From this Pilate sought to loose him: and the Jews cried out, saying, If thou loose this, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar. ¹³ Then Pilate having heard, brought Jesus without, and sat upon the judgment seat, in a place called Paved with ornamental stones; in Hebraic, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the pascha, and about the sixth hour: and he says to the Jews, Behold your King! ¹⁵ And they cried, Take away, take away, crucify him.

¹ And after five days the chief priest Ananias came down with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, who exhibited to the leader against Paul. ² And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, ³ Attaining much peace by thee, and good actions being to this nation by thy foresight altogether and everywhere, we accept, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ And that I hinder thee no more, I beseech thee to hear us concisely by thy clemency. ⁵ For having found this man a scourge, and moving sedition to all Jews in the habitable globe, and standing in the first rank of the sect of Nazarites:

⁹ And the Jews also agreed, saying, these things hold so. ¹⁰ And Paul answered, the leader having nodded to him to speak, Knowing from many years thee being judge to this nation, more cheerfully do I justify things concerning myself: ¹¹ Thou being able to know that not more than twelve days are to me from which I went up, going to worship in Jerusalem. ¹² And neither in the temple found they me discussing with any, or making a revolt of the crowd, neither in synagogues, nor in the city: ¹³ Nor can they bring me forward for things they now accuse me.

¹³ Nor can they bring me forward for things they now accuse me. ¹⁴ And this I confess to thee, that according to the way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things written in the law and the prophets: ¹⁵ Having hope to God, which they themselves also admit, a rising from the dead about to be, both of just and unjust. ¹⁶ And in this I myself attend carefully, to have a conscience unhurt towards God and men always. ¹⁷ And after many years I was present, going to do alms to my nation, and offerings. ¹⁸ In which they found me purified in the temple, not with the crowd, nor with uproar, and certain Jews from Asia. ¹⁹ Who ought to be present to thee, and accuse, if they have anything against me. ²⁰ Or let these themselves say, if they found any injustice in me, I having stood before the council, ²¹ Or of this one voice, which I cried standing with them, That of the rising up of the dead I am judged this day by you. ²² And having heard these, Felix deferred them, knowing more accurately the things of the way, having said, When Lysias captain of a thousand shall come down, I will examine narrowly things concerning you. ²³ And having appointed a centurion to keep Paul, and to have a setting at liberty, and to hinder none of his own to serve or come to him. ²⁴ And after certain days, Felix, having been present with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, sent for Paul and heard him of the faith in Christ. ²⁵ And he discoursing of justice, and temperance, and judgment about to be, Felix being terrified, answered, Having now, go; having taken time, I will recall thee. ²⁶ And at the same time also hoping that money should be given him by Paul, so that he might loose him: wherefore also sending for him more frequently, he conversed with him. ²⁷ And two years completed, Felix took Porcius Festus, a successor: and wishing to render a favor to the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.

⁷ And he having come, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood round about, bringing many and heavy charges against Paul, which they could not prove.

¹ And also were there false prophets among the people, as also among you shall be false teachers, who shall privately bring in doctrines of perdition, and denying the master having purchased them, having brought upon themselves swift destruction. ² (And many shall follow their licentiousness; by whom the way of truth shall be defamed.)

⁹ I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, seeking the superiority over them, receives us not. ¹⁰ Therefore, if I should come, I will put him in mind of his works which he does, talking silly against us with evil words: and not being satisfied in these, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and hinders those being willing, and casts out of the church.

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in heaven, Now was salvation and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren was cast down, he accusing them before our God, day and night.
