Acts 24:18-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

18. in which they found me occupied in the temple, having been purified, without any crowd or uproar. But there were some Jews from Asia-

19. who ought to have been present before you and to make accusation, if they should have anything against me.

20. Or else let these men themselves tell what misdeed they found when I stood before the Council,

21. other than for this one statement which I shouted out while standing among them, 'For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.'"

22. But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case."

23. Then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody and yet have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to him.
