Acts 24:13–21

¹³nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.

¹⁴‘And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written, ¹⁵having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, that there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous; ¹⁶and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

¹⁷‘And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings, ¹⁸in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult, ¹⁹whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me, ²⁰or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim, ²¹except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them—Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.’
