On the
morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the
Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the
Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole

Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a
Jewess. He sent for Paul and
listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
But after two years Porcius
Festus came into
Felix’ room: and
Felix, willing to
shew the
Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
After two years had passed,
Felix was succeeded by Porcius
Festus. And wishing to do the
Jews a favor,
Felix left Paul in prison.
Then the high priest and the chief of the
Jews informed him against Paul, and
besought him,
where the chief priests and
Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged
Festus And when he was come, the
Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and
grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the
Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I
offended any thing at all.
Then Paul made his
defense: “I have committed no
offense against the law of the
Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
But
Festus, willing to do the
Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said,
Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
But
Festus, wishing to do the
Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the
Jews, as you
yourself know very well.

And
Festus said, King
Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the
Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Then
Festus said, “King
Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole
Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
I think myself happy, king
Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things
whereof I am accused of the
Jews:
“King
Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you
today to defend myself against all the accusations of the
Jews,
Especially because I know thee to be
expert in all customs and questions which are among the
Jews: wherefore I
beseech thee to hear me patiently.
especially since you are acquainted with all the
Jewish customs and
controversies. I
beg you, therefore, to
listen to me patiently.
My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem.
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king
Agrippa, I am accused of the
Jews.
the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to
realize as they earnestly serve God day and night. It is because of this hope, O king, that I am accused by the
Jews.
For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
But when the
Jews spake against it, I was
constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to
accuse my nation of.
But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
For I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek.
I am not
ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to
everyone who believes, first to the
Jew, then to the Greek.
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the
Jew first, and also to the
Gentile:
but glory, honor, and peace for
everyone who does good, first for the
Jew, then for the Greek.
Behold, thou art called a
Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy
boast of God,
For he is not a
Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
A man is not a
Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is
circumcision only outward and physical.
But he is a
Jew, which is one inwardly; and
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
No, a man is a
Jew because he is one inwardly, and
circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.
What advantage then hath the
Jew? or what profit is there of
circumcision?
What, then, is the advantage of being a
Jew? Or what is the value of
circumcision?
