Acts 24:13–21

¹³Nor can they prove the things^* to you concerning which they are now accusing me. ¹⁴But I do confess this to you, that according to the Way (which they call a sect), so I worship the God of our fathers, believing all things that are in accordance with the law and that are written in the prophets, ¹⁵having a hope in God which these men also themselves await: that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. ¹⁶For this reason^h also I myself alwaysⁱ do my best to have a clear conscience toward God and people. ¹⁷So after many years, I came to practice charitable giving and offerings to my people,^{j 18}in which they found me purified in the temple courts,^* not with a crowd or with a disturbance. ¹⁹But there are some Jews from Asia^k who ought to be present before you and bring charges against me,^* if they have anything against me, ²⁰or these men themselves should say what crime they found when^* I stood before the Sanhedrin,^{l 21}other than concerning this one declaration that I shouted while^* standing there before them: ‘I am being judged before you today concerning the resurrection of the dead!’ ”
