Then
Paul answered, What mean ye to
weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then
Paul answered, “Why are you
weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

And when they heard it, they
glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all
zealous of the law:

glorified God. Then they said to

zealous for the law.
Then
Paul took the men, and the next day
purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to
signify the
accomplishment of the days of
purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
So the next day
Paul took the men and
purified himself along with them. Then he entered the temple to give notice of the date when their
purification would be complete and the offering would be made for each of them.
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple,
stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
When the seven days were almost over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw
Paul at the temple. They
stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
(For they had seen before with him in the city
Trophimus an
Ephesian, whom they supposed that
Paul had brought into the temple.)
For they had previously seen
Trophimus the
Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that
Paul had brought him into the temple.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took
Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and
forthwith the doors were shut.
The whole city was
stirred up, and the people
rushed together. They seized
Paul and
dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
The commander came up and arrested Paul, ordering that he be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
And some
cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the
tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Some in the crowd were
shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the
uproar, he ordered that
Paul be brought into the
barracks.
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
When
Paul reached the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the
mob.
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
As they were about to take
Paul into the
barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.
But
Paul said, I am a man which am a
Jew of
Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I
beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
But
Paul answered, “I am a
Jew from
Tarsus in
Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I
beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”
And when he had given him licence,
Paul stood on the stairs, and
beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Having received permission,
Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. A great
hush came over the crowd, and he addressed them in Hebrew:
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more silent. Then Paul declared,
And they gave him
audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
The crowd
listened to
Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and
shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!”
The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and
bade that he should be examined by
scourging; that he might know wherefore they
cried so against him.
the commander ordered that
Paul be brought into the
barracks. He directed that
Paul be
flogged and
interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.
And as they bound him with thongs,
Paul said unto the
centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to
scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
But as they stretched him out to
strap him down,
Paul said to the
centurion standing there, “Is it lawful for you to
flog a Roman citizen without a trial?”
Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said,
Yea.
The commander went to
Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “
Yes,” he answered.
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
“I paid a high price for my
citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,”
Paul replied.
Then
straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Then those who were about to
interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was
alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.
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
Sanhedrin to
assemble. Then he brought
Paul down and had him stand before them.
And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
Paul looked directly at the
Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
And the high priest
Ananias commanded them that stood by him to
smite him on the mouth.
At this, the high priest
Ananias ordered those standing near
Paul to strike 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 to him, “God will strike you, you
whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you
yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
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.
“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
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.
Then
Paul, knowing that some of them were
Sadducees and others
Pharisees, called out in the
Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a
Pharisee, the son of a
Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
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.
The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would
tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the
barracks.
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.
The following night the Lord stood near
Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have
testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must
testify in Rome.”
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.
When
daylight came, the Jews formed a
conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed
Paul.
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.
They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
But when the son of
Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the
barracks and 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.
Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has 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.
So the
centurion took him to the commander and said, “
Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
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.
He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring
Paul to the
Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.
And provide them beasts, that they may set
Paul on, and bring him safe unto
Felix the governor.
Provide mounts for
Paul to take him safely to Governor
Felix.”
Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took
Paul, and brought him by night to
Antipatris.
So the soldiers followed their orders and brought
Paul by night to
Antipatris.
Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
When the
horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented
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;
The governor read the letter and asked what province
Paul was from. Learning that he was 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.
he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that
Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s
Praetorium.
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.
Five days later the high priest
Ananias came down with some elders and a
lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against
Paul.
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,
When
Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the
prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your
foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
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:
When the governor motioned for
Paul to speak, he began his
response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I
gladly make my
defense.
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.
He ordered the
centurion to keep
Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
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.
After several days,
Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a
Jewess. He sent for
Paul and
listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
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.
As
Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment,
Felix became
frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
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.
At the same time, he was hoping that
Paul would offer him a
bribe. So he sent for
Paul frequently and talked with him.
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 desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
to grant them a
concession against
Paul by
summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an
ambush to kill him along the way.
But
Festus answered, that
Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
But
Festus replied, “
Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
And when he had
tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded
Paul to be brought.
After
spending no more than eight or ten days with them,
Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that
Paul be brought in.
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 when they had been there many days,
Festus declared
Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by
Felix:
Since they were staying several days,
Festus laid out
Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom
Felix left in prison.
But had certain questions against him of their own
superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom
Paul affirmed to be alive.
They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom
Paul affirmed to be alive.
But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”
And on the
morrow, when
Agrippa was come, and
Bernice, with great
pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at
Festus’ commandment
Paul was brought forth.
The next day
Agrippa and
Bernice came with great
pomp and entered the
auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And
Festus ordered that
Paul be brought in.
Then
Agrippa said unto
Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for
thyself. Then
Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
Agrippa said to
Paul, “You have permission to speak for
yourself.” Then
Paul stretched out his hand and began his
defense:
And as he thus spake for himself,
Festus said with a loud voice,
Paul, thou art beside
thyself; much learning
doth make thee
mad.
But he said, I am not
mad, most noble
Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and
soberness.
But
Paul answered, “I am not
insane, most excellent
Festus; I am speaking words of truth and
sobriety.
Then
Agrippa said unto
Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
Then
Agrippa said to
Paul, “Can you
persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”
And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
“Short time or long,” Paul replied, “I wish to God that not only you but all who hear me this day may become what I am, except for these chains.”
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered
Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a
centurion of Augustus’ band.
When it was decided that we would sail for Italy,
Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a
centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
And the next day we touched at
Sidon. And Julius
courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
The next day we landed at
Sidon, and Julius treated
Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past,
Paul admonished them,
By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So
Paul advised them,
Nevertheless the
centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by
Paul.
But contrary to
Paul’s advice, the
centurion was persuaded by the
pilot and by the owner of the ship.
But after long
abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have
hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from
Crete, and to have gained this
harm and loss.
After the men had gone a long time without food,
Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from
Crete. Then you would have
averted this
disaster and loss.
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
Paul said to the
centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
But
Paul said to the
centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
And while the day was coming on,
Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the
fourteenth day that ye have
tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave
thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
After he had said this,
Paul took bread and gave
thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
But the
centurion, willing to save
Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could
swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
And when
Paul had gathered a
bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a
viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Paul gathered a
bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a
viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
And he
shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no
harm.
But
Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
And it came to pass, that the father of
Publius lay sick of a fever and of a
bloody flux: to whom
Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and
healed him.
The father of
Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and
dysentery.
Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he
healed the man.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as
Appii Forum, and The three taverns: whom when
Paul saw, he
thanked God, and took courage.
The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the
Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When
Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave
thanks to God.
And when we came to Rome, the
centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but
Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
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.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his
lodging; to whom he
expounded and
testified the kingdom of God,
persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
So they set a day to meet with
Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He
expounded to them from morning to evening,
testifying about the kingdom of God and
persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
And
Paul dwelt two whole years in his own
hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house,
welcoming all who came to visit him.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of
Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of
Cephas; and I of Christ.
What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow
Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow
Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
Is Christ divided? was
Paul crucified for you? or were ye
baptized in the name of
Paul?

Paul crucified for you? Were you
baptized into the name of
Paul?
For while one saith, I am of
Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not
carnal?
For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
What then is Apollos? And what is
Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his
role.
Whether
Paul, or Apollos, or
Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
whether
Paul or Apollos or
Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

Achaia:

Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout
Achaia:
Now I
Paul myself
beseech you by the
meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
