1 And having look at the council, [the] Paul said, “Men, Brothers, I have lived in all good conscience (before) God until this day.”
2 And the high priest, Ananias, ordered to the ones standing by him to strike his mouth(=him on the mouth).
3 Then [the] Paul said (to) him, “[The] God is about to strike you, (the) wall having been whitened! And you sit judging(=to judge) me according to law, and against the law you order me to be struck!”
4 And the ones standing by said, “Do you insult God’s high priest?”
5 And [the] Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is(=was) high priest. For it has been written that you shall not speak evil (of the) ruler of your people.”
6 And having known that the one part is(=were) of Sadducees and the other (part were) of Pharisees, [the] Paul cried out in the council, “Men, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am being judged about (the) hope and (the) resurrection of (the) dead.”
7 And his having said(=as he said)1 this, there was a dispute of(=between) the Pharisees and Sadducees. And the assembly was divided.
8 For Sadducees say not to be(=there is no) resurrection nor angel nor spirit, but Pharisees acknowledge the both(=them all).
9 And there was a great uproar. And having stood up, some of the scribes of Pharisees’ part were contending saying, “We found nothing wrong in this man. And what if a spirit or an angel spoke to him.”
10 And great dissension’s becoming (=when there was a great dissension)2, having been afraid lest(=that) [the] Paul would be torn (in pieces) by them, the commander ordered the army having gone down(=to go down) and seize him out of [the] midst of them and bring into the camp.
11 And the next night, having stood (by), the Lord said (to) him, “Take courage, for as you testified the things about me in Jerusalem, so it is necessary for you to testify(=you must testify) also in Rome.”
12 And day’s having become(=when it was day)3, having made a (secret) meeting, the Jews cursed themselves(=bound themselves under a curse), saying neither to eat nor drink until they had kill [the] Paul.
13 And there were more (than) forty, the ones having made this plot.
14 They, having gone to the high priests and the elders, said, “With a curse, we cursed ourselves(=We bound ourselves under a curse) to taste nothing until we have killed [the] Paul.”
15 “Now therefore you with the council, inform the commander so that he may bring down him to you, as if being going(=you were going) to investigate more thoroughly the things about him. And we are ready to kill him before for him to come near(=before he comes near).”
16 And having heard the(=their) ambush, the son of Paul’s sister, having gone and entered into the camp, reported to [the] Paul.
17 And having called one of the centurions, [the] Paul said, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has something to report him.”
18 So he, having taken him, brought to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner, having called me to (him), asked to bring this young man to you, having(=who has) something to tell you.”
19 And having taken hold of his hand, the commander, [and] having withdrawn privately, were asking, “What is it that you have to report to me?”
20 And he said, “[that] The Jews agreed to ask you that tomorrow you would bring down [the] Paul to the council, as though being going(=they were going)4 to ask more thoroughly something about him.”
21 “Therefore you must not be persuaded to them, because more (than) forty men among them are ambushing (for) him, who cursed themselves(=bound themselves under a curse) neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. And now they are ready, awaiting the promise from you.”
22 Therefore the commander dismissed the young man, having commanded to divulge to no one that you reported these things to me.
23 And having called (certain) two of centurions, he said, “Get ready two hundred soldiers so that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen at the third hour of the night,”
24 “and to stand by(=provide) mounts so that they, having put [the] Paul on (the mount), may bring (him) safely to Felix the governor.”
25 Having written(=He wrote) a letter having this type(=content).
26 “Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Governor Felix. To greet(=Greetings).”
27 “This man having been seized by the Jews and being about to be killed by them, I rescued (the man), having come with the army, having learned that he is a Roman.”
28 “And desiring to know the reason on which they were accusing him, I brought (him) down to their council.”
29 “I found the thing being accused(to be accused) about(=of) questions of their law, but having(=to have) nothing charge(=no charge) worthy of death or bonds(=imprisonment).”
30 “A plot’s having been made known(=When the plot was disclosed)5 to me, (the plot) to be(=being) against the man, at once I sent (him) to you, having commanded the accusers also to say against him before you.”
31 Therefore the soldiers, having taken [the] Paul according to the thing having been commanded them, brought through(=during) (the) night to Antipatris.
32 And (on) the morrow, having let the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the camp.
33 They, having gone into [the] Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.
34 And having read (the letter), and having asked from what province he is(=was), and having learned that (he came) from Cilicia,
35 he said, “I will hear you when your accusers also come”, having commanded him to be kept in Herod’s praetorium.
