Young's Literal Translation
And Paul ,
earnestly beholding
the council
, said, Men and
brethren, I have
lived
in all good conscience before
God until
this day .
And Paul having
earnestly beheld
the sanhedrim
, said, `
Men ,
brethren, I in all good conscience have
lived
to
God unto
this day ;'
And the high
priest Ananias commanded them
that
stood
by him to smite him on the mouth .
and the chief
priest Ananias commanded those
standing
by him to smite him on the mouth ,
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?
then Paul said
unto him, `
God is
about
to
smite thee, thou whitewashed
wall ,
and
thou --
thou
dost
sit
judging
me according
to
the law, and ,
violating
law,
dost
order
me to be smitten !'
And they
that
stood by said, Revilest
thou
God's
high
priest?
And those
who
stood by said, `The
chief
priest of
God
dost
thou
revile
? '
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 .
and
Paul said
, `
I did
not know
, brethren, that he is
chief
priest: for it hath
been
written, Of the ruler of thy people thou
shalt
not
speak
evil;'
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
.
and
Paul having
known
that the one part are
Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim
, `
Men ,
brethren, I am a Pharisee --
son of a Pharisee --
concerning
hope and rising
again
of dead men
I am judged
. '
And when
he had
so
said
, there arose
a dissension between
the Pharisees and the Sadducees :
and the multitude
was divided .
And he having
spoken
this
, there came
a dissension of
the Pharisees and of
the Sadducees ,
and the crowd
was divided ,
For the
Sadducees say that
there is no resurrection
, neither
angel
, nor spirit :
but the
Pharisees confess both.
for Sadducees ,
indeed,
say there is no rising
again
, nor
messenger
, nor spirit ,
but Pharisees confess both.
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 .
And there came
a great cry ,
and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having
arisen
, were
striving
, saying, `
No evil do
we
find
in this man ;
and
if a spirit spake
to him, or
a
messenger,
we
may
not fight against God ;'
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.
and a great dissension having
come
, the chief captain having
been
afraid
lest Paul may
be
pulled to
pieces by
them, commanded the soldiery,
having
gone
down, to take him by force out
of
the
midst
of
them, and to bring `
him '
to
the castle.
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.
And on
the following night,
the Lord having
stood by him, said, `Take
courage
, Paul ,
for as thou didst
fully
testify
the
things
concerning
me at
Jerusalem, so it
behoveth
thee
also at Rome to
testify
. '
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 .
And day having
come
, certain of the Jews having
made
a
concourse
, did
anathematize
themselves, saying neither to
eat nor to
drink till they may
kill
Paul ;
And they were more than forty which
had
made this conspiracy .
and they were more than forty who
made this conspiracy by
oath,
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 .
who
having
come
near
to the chief priests and to
the
elders said, `With
an
anathema
we did
anathematize
ourselves --
to
taste
nothing till
we have killed
Paul ;
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.
now ,
therefore ,
ye ,
signify ye
to the chief captain ,
with
the
sanhedrim,
that to-morrow
he may
bring him down unto you, as being
about
to
know
more exactly
the
things
concerning him ;
and we, before
his
coming
nigh
, are ready to put
him to
death
. '
And when
Paul's
sister's
son heard of their
lying in wait, he
went
and entered into the castle, and
told Paul .
And the
son of
Paul's
sister
having
heard of the
lying in wait, having
gone
and entered into the castle, told Paul ,
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.
and
Paul having
called near
one of the centurions, said, `
This young man lead
unto the chief captain ,
for he hath something
to tell him. '
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.
He indeed,
then,
having
taken
him, brought him unto
the chief captain, and saith
, `
The prisoner Paul,
having
called me near
, asked
`
me '
this young man to
bring
unto thee, having
something to say to
thee. '
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?
And
the chief captain having
taken
him by the hand, and having
withdrawn
by
themselves
, inquired
, `
What is that which
thou hast to tell me? '
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.
and he said --
`
The Jews agreed to request
thee ,
that to-morrow
to
the
sanhedrim
thou mayest
bring down Paul, as being
about
to
enquire something
more exactly
concerning
him;
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.
thou ,
therefore,
mayest
thou
not
yield to
them ,
for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who
did
anathematize
themselves --
not
to
eat nor to
drink till they kill
him ,
and now they are
ready, waiting
for the
promise from thee. '
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 .
The chief captain ,
then ,
indeed,
let the young man go
, having
charged `
him '
to
tell no one,
`
that these things thou
didst
shew
unto
me ;'
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;
and having
called near
a
certain
two of
the
centurions, he
said
, `
Make ready soldiers
two hundred ,
that
they
may
go on
unto
Caesarea, and horsemen seventy
, and spearmen two hundred, from
the third hour of the night;
And
provide
them
beasts, that they
may
set Paul on, and
bring him safe unto Felix the governor .
beasts also
provide
, that ,
having
set Paul on, they
may
bring him safe unto Felix the governor ;'
And
he wrote
a letter after this manner
:
he having
written
a letter after this description
:
Claudius Lysias unto
the most excellent
governor Felix sendeth
greeting.
`
Claudius Lysias ,
to
the most noble
governor Felix ,
hail:
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 .
This man having
been
taken by
the Jews, and being
about
to
be
killed by
them --
having
come
with the
soldiery
, I
rescued him, having learned
that he is
a Roman ;
And when
I
would
have
known
the cause wherefore
they accused
him, I brought him forth
into
their council:
and ,
intending
to
know
the cause for
which
they were
accusing
him, I brought him down
to
their sanhedrim,
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 .
whom I found
accused concerning
questions of their law, and
having
no
accusation
worthy of death or bonds ;
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
.
and a
plot
having
been
intimated
to
me against
this
man
--
about
to
be
of
the Jews --
at
once
I sent unto
thee, having
given
command
also
to the
accusers to say the
things
against him before
thee;
be
strong
. '
Then the soldiers ,
as
it
was
commanded
them, took
Paul, and
brought him by
night to Antipatris .
Then ,
indeed,
the soldiers according
to
that
directed
them, having
taken
up
Paul, brought him through
the
night to Antipatris ,
On the morrow they
left
the horsemen to go with him, and
returned to the castle :
and
on the morrow ,
having
suffered
the horsemen to go on
with him, they
returned to the castle ;
Who,
when
they
came
to
Caesarea and delivered the epistle
to the governor, presented
Paul
also before
him.
those
having
entered
into
Caesarea ,
and delivered the letter
to the governor, did
present
also Paul
to
him.
And when
the governor had
read the
letter
, he
asked
of what province he was.
And when
he
understood that he was
of
Cilicia;
And the governor having
read `it'
, and
inquired
of what province he is,
and understood that `
he is'
from
Cilicia;
I will hear thee ,
said he ,
when thine accusers are
also come .
And
he commanded him to be kept in Herod's
judgment
hall
.
`
I will hear thee --
said he --
when thine accusers also may
have
come ;'
he also
commanded him to be kept in the
praetorium
of
Herod
.
