44:024:010 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:
44:024:011 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
44:024:012 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
44:024:013 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
44:024:014 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
44:024:015 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
44:024:016 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
44:024:017 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
44:024:018 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
44:024:019 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
