Acts 24:17-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

17. After many years, I came to bring alms for my nation and offerings.

18. While I was so engaged, they found me, after my purification, in the temple without a crowd or disturbance.

19. But some Jews from the province of Asia, who should be here before you to make whatever accusation they might have against me—

20. or let these men themselves state what crime they discovered when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

21. unless it was my one outcry as I stood among them, that ‘I am on trial before you today for the resurrection of the dead.’”

22. Then Felix, who was accurately informed about the Way, postponed the trial, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I shall decide your case.”

23. He gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but have some liberty, and that he should not prevent any of his friends from caring for his needs.
