| 23:1 | And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. |
| 23:2 | And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. |
| 23:3 | Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? |
| 23:3 | 保羅對他說、你這粉飾的牆、 神要打你．你坐堂為的是按律法審問我、你竟違背律法、吩咐人打我麼。 |
| 23:3 | 保罗对他说，你这粉饰的墙。神要打你。你坐堂为的是按律法审问我，你竟违背律法，吩咐人打我麽。 |
| mat:23:27 | Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. |
| isa:30:13 | Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. |
| eze:13:10 | Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: |
| eze:13:11 | Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. |
| eze:13:12 | Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? |
| eze:13:13 | Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it. |
| eze:13:14 | So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. |
| eze:13:15 | Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; |
| eze:13:16 | To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD. |
| lev:19:35 | Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. |
| deu:25:1 | If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. |
| deu:25:2 | And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. |
| jhn:7:51 | Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? |

| 23:4 | And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? |
| 23:5 | Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. |
| 23:6 | But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. |
| 23:7 | And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. |
| 23:8 | For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. |
| 23:9 | And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. |
| 23:10 | And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle. |
| 23:11 | And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. |
| 23:12 | And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. |
| 23:13 | And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. |
| 23:14 | And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. |
| 23:15 | Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. |
| 23:16 | And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. |
| 23:17 | Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. |
| 23:18 | So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. |
| 23:19 | Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? |
| 23:20 | And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. |
| 23:21 | But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. |
| 23:22 | So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me. |
| 23:23 | And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; |
| 23:24 | And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. |
| 23:25 | And he wrote a letter after this manner: |
| 23:26 | Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. |
| 23:27 | This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. |
| 23:28 | And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: |
| 23:29 | Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. |
| 23:30 | And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell. |
| 23:31 | Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. |
| 23:32 | On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle: |
| 23:33 | Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. |
| 23:34 | And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; |
| 23:35 | I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. |
