행 24:1 Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertul lus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor. 
행 24:2 When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: "We have enjoyed a long period of peac e under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation. 
행 24:3 Everywhere and in every way, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude. 
행 24:4 But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly. 
행 24:5 "We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect 
행 24:6 and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. 
행 24:7 But the commander, Lysias, came and with the use of much force snatched him from our hands and ordered his accu sers to come before you. 
행 24:8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against h im." 
행 24:9 The Jews joined in the accusation, asserting that these things were true. 
행 24:10 When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: "I know that for a number of years you have be en a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense. 
행 24:11 You can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 
행 24:12 My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or any where else in the city. 
행 24:13 And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me. 
행 24:14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I bel ieve everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, 
행 24:15 and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 
행 24:16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. 
행 24:17 "After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor and to pres ent offerings. 
행 24:18 I was ceremonially clean when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor w as I involved in any disturbance. 
행 24:19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia, who ought to be here before you and bring charges if they h ave anything against me. 
행 24:20 Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin-- 
행 24:21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: 'It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.'" 
행 24:22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way, adjourned the proceedings. "When Lysias the commander c omes," he said, "I will decide your case." 
행 24:23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard but to give him some freedom and permit his friends to take care of his needs. 
행 24:24 Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him a s he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus. 
행 24:25 As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, "T hat's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you." 
행 24:26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talked wit h him. 
행 24:27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.

행25:13 아그립바 왕의 방문 
행 25:13 A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus. 
행 25:14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul's case with the king. He said: "There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner. 
행 25:15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews brought charges against him and asked that he be condemned. 
행 25:16 "I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over any man before he has faced his accusers and ha s had an opportunity to defend himself against their charges. 
행 25:17 When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in. 
행 25:18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. 
행 25:19 Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus wh o Paul claimed was alive. 
행 25:20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters; so I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and stan d trial there on these charges. 
행 25:21 When Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him held until I could send hi m to Caesar." 
행 25:22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I would like to hear this man myself." He replied, "Tomorrow you will hear him." 
행 25:23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high ranking offi cers and the leading men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 
행 25:24 Festus said: "King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. 
행 25:25 I found he had done nothing deserving of death, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to sen d him to Rome. 
행 25:26 But I have nothing definite to write to His Majesty about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that as a result of this investigation I may have something to write. 
행 25:27 For I think it is unreasonable to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him."

행26:12 아그립바 앞에서 바울의 간증 
행 26:12 "On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 
행 26:13 About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 
행 26:14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' 
행 26:15 "Then I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' "'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied. 
행 26:16 'Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of wha t you have seen of me and what I will show you. 
행 26:17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 
행 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' 
행 26:19 "So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. 
행 26:20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. 
행 26:21 That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me. 
행 26:22 But I have had God's help to this very day, and so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am say ing nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen-- 
행 26:23 that the Christ would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to his own people a nd to the Gentiles." 
행 26:24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul's defense. "You are out of your mind, Paul!" he shouted. "Your great learning is driving you insane." 
행 26:25 "I am not insane, most excellent Festus," Paul replied. "What I am saying is true and reasonabl e. 
행 26:26 The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has es caped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 
행 26:27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do." 
행 26:28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian? " 
행 26:29 Paul replied, "Short time or long--I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains." 
행 26:30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them. 
행 26:31 They left the room, and while talking with one another, they said, "This man is not doing anything that d eserves death or imprisonment." 
행 26:32 Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
