Paul’s defense before the governor

바울이 총독 앞에서 변명함

Acts 24:10–21: when the governor has beckoned to Paul to speak, Paul answers, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense, seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city. Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me. But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men. Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings; amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil. They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me. Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council, unless 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!’”

    10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

    11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

    12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.

    13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

    14But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

    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!’”
