Having looked intently then Paul at the Council, he said, Men, brothers, I in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.

Then Paul to him said, To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you, do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law, command me to be struck?

Those who now standing by said, The high priest of God do you insult?

Was saying then Paul, Not I was aware, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for that: [The] ruler of the people of you, not you will speak evil [of].’

Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees, but the other of Pharisees, he was crying out in the Council, Men, brothers, I a Pharisee am, [the] son of Pharisees; concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I am judged.

This then of him saying, arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.

Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; Pharisees however confess both.

Arose then a clamor great, and having risen up some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees, they were contending, saying, Nothing evil we find in man this. What if now a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?

great then is arising dissension, having feared the commander, lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them, he commanded the troop, having gone down, to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.

When it was becoming then day, having made a conspiracy, the Jews put under an oath themselves, declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.

There were now more than forty, this plot having made,

who, having come to the chief priests and to the elders, said, With an oath we have bound ourselves, nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.

Now therefore you, do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that he may bring down him to you, as being about to examine more earnestly the things about him; we then, before drawing near his, ready are to kill him.

Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul of the ambush, having come near and having entered into the barracks, he reported [it] to Paul.

Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions, he was saying, young man this do take to the commander; he has for to report something to him.

The [one] indeed therefore having taken him brought [him] to the commander, and he says, The prisoner Paul, having called to me, asked [me] this young man to lead to you, having something to say to you.

Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander, and having withdrawn in private, he was inquiring What is it that you have to report to me?

He said then that, The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council, as it being about something more earnestly to inquire about him.
