    'He said to me, 'Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.''

  2. 22.22

    They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice, and said, 'Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn't fit to live!'

  3. 22.23

    As they cried out, and threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,

    the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.

  5. 22.25

    ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲟⲗⲕϥ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲓϧⲱⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲁϥⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉⲟⲥ ⲛϥⲉⲣ ⲡⲕⲉϩⲱⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲥϣⲉ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲉⲣⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲅⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ .

    When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, 'Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?'

  6. 22.26

    ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭ ⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲉ ϣⲁⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲁⲓϥ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ .

    When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, 'Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!'

  7. 22.27

    ⲁϥⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉⲁϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲓ ϫⲉⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉⲁϩⲁ .

    The commanding officer came and asked him, 'Tell me, are you a Roman?' He said, 'Yes.'

  8. 22.28

    ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲡⲟⲗⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲏⲓ ϧⲁⲟⲩⲙⲏ ϣⲛⲕⲉⲫⲁⲗⲉⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲁⲥⲧ ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ .

    The commanding officer answered, 'I bought my citizenship for a great price.' Paul said, 'But I was born a Roman.'

  9. 22.29

    ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩϩⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϯⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉⲁϥⲥⲟⲛϩϥ .

    Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.

  10. 22.30

    ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲉⲙⲓ ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ϫⲉⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲓ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ .

    But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

  11. 23.1

    ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛⲏⲇⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣⲡⲟⲗⲓⲧⲉⲩⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲙⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ϣⲁⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ .

    Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, 'Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.'

  12. 23.2

    ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲣⲱϥ .

    The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

  13. 23.3

    ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲁϩⲓⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϯϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲟϣϫ ⲛⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲕⲉⲣⲡⲕⲉϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲉⲕϯϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲉⲣⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ .

    Then Paul said to him, 'God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?'

  14. 23.4

    ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲁⲕϩⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲉⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ .

    Those who stood by said, 'Do you malign God's high priest?'

  15. 23.5

    ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉⲛⲁⲓⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲕⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ .

    Paul said, 'I didn't know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.''

  16. 23.6

    ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲥⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ .

    But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, 'Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!'

  17. 23.7

    ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟϥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛϫⲉⲟⲩϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲓⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲫⲱⲣϫ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ .

    When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

  18. 23.8

    ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡ .

    For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

  19. 23.9

    ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϫⲉϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲙⲗⲁϧ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲉⲙ ϩⲗⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ .

    A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, 'We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let's not fight against God!'

  20. 23.10

    ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲩϩⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲩϩⲙⲏϯ ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲛϥ ⲉϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲉϯⲡⲁⲣⲉⲙⲃⲟⲗⲏ .

    When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

  21. 23.11

    ⲛϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲡϭⲟⲓⲥ ⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉϫⲉⲙⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲙⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϧⲉⲛⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϯ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϧⲉⲛⲧⲕⲉⲣⲱⲙⲏ .

    The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, 'Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.'

  22. 23.12

    ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲣⲕⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉϣⲧⲉⲙⲥⲱ ϣⲁⲧⲟⲩϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ .

    When it was day, some of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

  23. 23.13

    ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲙ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲁⲛⲁϣ .

    There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.

  24. 23.14

    ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲓ ϣⲁⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲓⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲑⲉⲙⲁ ⲁⲛⲧⲁⲣⲕⲟⲛ ⲉϣⲧⲉⲙϫⲉⲙϯⲡⲓ ⲛϩⲗⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉⲛϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ .

    They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, 'We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

  25. 23.15

    ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲛϥ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲉⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲙⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲧϥϧⲱⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉϧⲟⲑⲃϥ .

    Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.'

  26. 23.16

    ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲉϯϫⲟⲣϫⲥ ⲛϫⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲧⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲓ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϯⲡⲁⲣⲉⲙⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ .

    But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.

  27. 23.17

    ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉϭⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓϧⲉⲗϣⲓⲣⲓ ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϫⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥ .

    Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, 'Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.'

  28. 23.18

    ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϭⲓⲧϥ ⲁϥⲉⲛϥ ϣⲁⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲉⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲓϧⲉⲗϣⲓⲣⲓ ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲉϫⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲕ .

    So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, 'Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you.'

  29. 23.19

    ⲁϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭ ⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲁⲛⲁⲭⲱⲣⲓⲛ ⲥⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϫⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲓ .

    The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, 'What is it that you have to tell me?'

  30. 23.20

    ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲙⲛⲏⲧⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲃϩⲕ ⲛⲣⲁⲥϯ ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲕⲛⲁⲉⲙⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ .

    He said, 'The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

  31. 23.21

    ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲙ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱⲣϫ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲣⲕⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉϣⲧⲉⲙⲥⲱ ϣⲁⲧⲟⲩϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁⲧϩⲏ ⲙⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲕ .

    Therefore don't yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.'

    So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, 'Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.'

    He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, 'Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.'

  34. 23.24

    He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

    He wrote a letter like this:

    So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

    When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

    When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,

    After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

    The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

    When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, 'Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

    In the temple they didn't find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

    But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

    But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, 'When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.'

    He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

    But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

    As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, 'Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.'

    Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.

    But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

    When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

    Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, 'You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.'

    Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.

  86. 25.14

    ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲭⲁ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲁϥⲥⲱϫⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲫⲩⲗⲓⲝ .

    As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, 'There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

    about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

    To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

    When therefore they had come together here, I didn't delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

    Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;

    but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

    Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

  93. 25.21

    But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.'

    Agrippa said to Festus, 'I also would like to hear the man myself.' 'Tomorrow,' he said, 'you shall hear him.'

    ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲓ ⲛϫⲉⲁⲅⲣⲓⲡⲡⲁ ⲛⲉⲙⲃⲉⲣⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲙⲫⲁⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲉ ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϭⲓⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲙϩⲁⲛⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙϩⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲓⲛ ⲛϫⲉⲫⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ .

    So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

    Festus said, 'King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

    But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

    For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.'

    Agrippa said to Paul, 'You may speak for yourself.' Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
