Acts 24:13-19

New American Standard Bible

^13 (A)Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me. ¹⁴ But I confess this to you, that in accordance with ^[a](B)the Way, which they call a ^(C)sect, I do serve ^(D)the God of our fathers, ^(E)believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and is written in the Prophets; ¹⁵ having a hope in God, which ^(F)these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. ¹⁶ In view of this ^(G)I also do my best to maintain a blameless conscience both before God and before other people, always. ¹⁷ Now ^(H)after several years I ^(I)came to bring charitable gifts to my nation and to present offerings, ¹⁸ in which they found me occupied in the temple, having been ^(J)purified, without any ^(K)crowd or uproar. But there were some ^(L)Jews from ^[b]Asia— ¹⁹ who ought to have been present before you and to have been ^(M)bringing charges, if they should have anything against me.
