절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Paul Is Accused in the Court of Felix Five days later Ananias the high priest, together with some of their leaders and a lawyer named Tertullus, went to the governor to present their case against Paul.	And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2	So Paul was called in, and Tertullus stated the case against him: Honorable Felix, you have brought our people a long period of peace, and because of your concern our nation is much better off.	And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3	All of us are always grateful for what you have done.	We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4	I don't want to bother you, but please be patient with us and listen to me for just a few minutes.	Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5	This man has been found to be a real pest and troublemaker for our people all over the world. He is also a leader of a group called Nazarenes.	For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
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	When he tried to disgrace the temple, we arrested him. If you question him, you will find out for yourself that our charges are true.	Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9	The Jewish crowd spoke up and agreed with what Tertullus had said.	And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10	Paul Defends Himself The governor motioned for Paul to speak, and he began: I know that you have judged the people of our nation for many years, and I am glad to defend myself in your court.	Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11	It was no more than twelve days ago that I went to worship in Jerusalem. You can find this out easily enough.	Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12	Never once did the Jews find me arguing with anyone in the temple. I didn't cause trouble in the synagogues or in the city itself.	And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13	There is no way that they can prove these charges they are now bringing against me.	Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14	I admit that their leaders think the Lord's Way which I follow is based on wrong beliefs. But I still worship the same God that my ancestors worshiped. And I believe everything written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets.	But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15	I am just as sure as these people are that God will raise from death everyone, good or evil.	And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16	And because I am sure, I try my best to have a clear conscience in whatever I do for God or for people.	And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
17	After being away for several years, I returned here to bring gifts for the poor people of my nation and to offer sacrifices.	Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18	This is what I was doing when I was found going through a ceremony in the temple. I wasn't with a crowd, and there was no uproar.	Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19	Some Jews from Asia were there at that time, and if they have anything to say against me, they should be here now.	Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20	Or ask the ones who are here. They can tell you that they didn't find me guilty of anything when I was tried by their own council.	Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21	The only charge they can bring against me is what I shouted out in court, when I said, “I am on trial today because I believe that the dead will be raised to life!”	Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22	Felix knew a lot about the Lord's Way. But he brought the trial to an end and said, “I will make my decision after Lysias the commander arrives.”	And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23	He then ordered the army officer to keep Paul under guard, but not to lock him up or to stop his friends from helping him.	And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24	Paul Is Kept under Guard Several days later Felix and his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, went to the place where Paul was kept under guard. They sent for Paul and listened while he spoke to them about having faith in Christ Jesus.	And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25	But Felix was frightened when Paul started talking to them about doing right, about self-control, and about the coming judgment. So he said to Paul, “That's enough for now. You may go. But when I have time I will send for you.”	And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26	After this, Felix often sent for Paul and talked with him, because he hoped that Paul would offer him a bribe.	He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27	Two years later Porcius Festus became governor in place of Felix. But since Felix wanted to do the Jewish leaders a favor, he kept Paul in jail.	But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
