9And the Jews were in agreement with his statement, saying that these things were so.
10Then when the ruler had given him a sign to make his answer, Paul said, Because I have knowledge that you have been a judge over this nation for a number of years, I am glad to make my answer:
11Seeing that you are able to make certain of the fact that it is not more than twelve days from the time when I came up to Jerusalem for worship;
12And they have not seen me in argument with any man in the Temple, or working up the feelings of the people, in the Synagogues or in the town:
13And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.
14But this I will say openly to you, that I do give worship to the God of our fathers after that Way, which to them is not the true religion: but I have belief in all the things which are in the law and in the books of the prophets:
15Hoping in God for that which they themselves are looking for, that there will be a coming back from the dead for upright men and wrongdoers.
