7and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,
8having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;`
9and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
10And Paul answered -- the governor having beckoned to him to speak -- `Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;
11thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
12and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
13nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
