6 He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him. 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to find out from him about everything of which we accuse him.”

6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. 7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

6 Also, he was trying to make the Temple unclean, but we stopped him. And we wanted to judge him by our own law. 7 But the officer Lysias came and used much force to take him from us. 8 And Lysias commanded those who wanted to accuse Paul to come to you. By asking him questions yourself, you can decide if all these things are true.”

6 who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: 7 But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 8 from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things whereof we accuse him.

6 who also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, (and would have judged according to our law; 7 but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took him away with great force out of our hands, 8 having commanded his accusers to come to thee;) of whom thou canst thyself, in examining him, know the certainty of all these things of which we accuse him.

6 He also entered the temple courtyard in a way that violates our tradition. So we arrested him.8 When you cross-examine him, you’ll be able to find out from him that our accusations are true.” 

6 He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we apprehended him [and wanted to judge him according to our law. 7 But Lysias the commander came and took him from our hands with great force, 8 commanding his accusers to come to you.] By examining him yourself you will be able to discern all these things we are accusing him of.”

6 “And he even tried to desecrate the temple; and then we arrested him. We wanted to judge him according to our own Law.

7 “But Lysias the commander came along, and with much violence took him out of our hands,
