| 24:1 | And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul. |
| 24:2 | And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence, |
| 24:3 | We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. |
| 24:4 | Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words. |
| 24:5 | For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: |
| 24:6 | Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. |
| 24:7 | But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, |
| 24:8 | Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. |
| 24:9 | And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so. |
| 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: |
| 24:11 | Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship. |
| 24:12 | And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: |
| 24:13 | Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. |
| 24:14 | But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: |
| 24:15 | And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. |
| 24:16 | And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. |
| 24:17 | Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. |
| 24:17 | 過了幾年、我帶著賙濟本國的捐項和供獻的物上去。 |
| 24:17 | 过了几年，我带着周济本国的捐项和供献的物上去。 |
| act:19:10 | And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. |
| act:20:31 | Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. |
| act:26:4 | My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; |
| act:28:19 | But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. |
| act:11:29 | Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: |
| act:11:30 | Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. |
| rom:15:26 | For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. |
| rom:15:31 | That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; |
| 1co:16:1 | Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. |
| 1co:16:2 | Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. |
| 1co:16:3 | And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. |
| 2co:8:2 | How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. |
| 2co:8:3 | For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; |
| 2co:9:5 | Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. |
| 2co:9:7 | Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. |
| 2co:9:13 | Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; |
| COBL | |
| 24:18 | Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. |
| 24:19 | Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me. |
| 24:20 | Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, |
| 24:21 | Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. |
| 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 commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. |
| 24:24 | And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. |
| 24:25 | And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. |
| 24:26 | He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. |
| 24:27 | But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. |
