Acts 24 — Context

15

Hoping 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.

16

And in this, I do my best at all times to have no reason for shame before God or men.

17

Now after a number of years I came to give help and offerings to my nation:

18

And having been made clean, I was in the Temple, but not with a great number of people, and not with noise: but there were certain Jews from Asia,

19

And it would have been better if they had come here to make a statement, if they have anything against me.

20

Or let these men here present say what wrongdoing was seen in me when I was before the Sanhedrin,

21

But only this one thing which I said among them in a loud voice, I am this day being judged on the question of the coming back from the dead.
