Acts 24:19

Verse 19 of 27. The 24th of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.

19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.

20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
