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.

44:024:020 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil
           doing in me, while I stood before the council,

44:024:021 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among
           them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in
           question by you this day.

44:024:022 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect
           knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias
           the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost
           of your matter.

44:024:023 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.

44:024:024 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.

44:024:025 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.

44:024:026 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.

44:024:027 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room:  and
           Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

44:025:001 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days
           he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

44:025:002 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him
           against Paul, and besought him,

44:025:003 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to
           Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

44:025:004 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and
           that he himself would depart shortly thither.

44:025:005 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down
           with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in
           him.
