Acts 23
- 1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
- 2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him, to strike him on the mouth.
- 3 Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
- 4 And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
- 5 Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
- 6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
- 7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
- 8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
- 9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes [that were] of the Pharisees' part arose, and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
- 10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul would have been pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring [him] into the castle.
- 11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear testimony also at Rome.
- 12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
- 13 And they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy.
- 14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
- 15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain, that he bring him down to you to-morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before he shall come near, are ready to kill him.
- 16 And when the son of Paul's sister heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
- 17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to [him], and said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
- 18 So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to [him], and prayed me to bring this young man to thee, who hath something to say to thee.
- 19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went [with him] aside privately, and asked [him], What is that thou hast to tell me?
- 20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring down Paul to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat concerning him more perfectly.
- 21 But do not thou yield to them: for there are of them who lie in wait for him more than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now they are ready, looking for a promise from thee.
- 22 So the chief captain [then] let the young man depart, and charged [him], [See thou] tell no man that thou hast shown these things to me.
- 23 And he called to [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
- 24 And provide [for them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring [him] safe to Felix the governor.
- 25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
- 26 Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix, [sendeth] greeting.
- 27 This man was taken by the Jews, and would have been killed by them: then I came with a body of soldiers, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
- 28 And when I would have known the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
- 29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death, or of bonds.
- 30 And when it was told to me that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent forthwith to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also, to say before thee what [they had] against him. Farewell.
- 31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.
- 32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
- 33 Who, when they came to Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
- 34 And when the governor had read [the letter], he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that [he was] of Cilicia,
- 35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers also have come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment-hall.

Webster Bible Electronic Format.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
February 1992
Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.
I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.- Direction: LTR
