Деяния 24

Обвинение против Павла
24 Пять дней спустя первосвященник Анания с некоторыми старейшинами и юристом Тертуллом пришел в Кесарию, чтобы представить наместнику обвинение против Павла. 2 Когда Павла ввели, Тертулл представил обвинение против него:
3 – Достопочтеннейший Феликс! Мы всегда и повсюду с глубокой признательностью принимаем твои реформы на благо этого народа и благодарим тебя за тот прочный мир, который установился при твоем разумном правлении. 4 Чтобы тебя более не утруждать, я попрошу тебя с твоей обычной добротой выслушать нашу короткую просьбу. 5 Мы находим этого человека нарушителем спокойствия, он – зачинщик мятежей среди иудеев по всему миру. Он главарь назорейской секты[a] 6 и пытался даже осквернить храм. Поэтому мы его арестовали и хотели судить по нашему Закону. 7 Но командир римского полка Лисий силой забрал его из наших рук, 8 велев его обвинителям идти к тебе[b]. Когда ты допросишь его, ты и сам узнаешь обо всем, в чем мы обвиняем его.
9 Прибывшие с ним иудеи поддержали обвинение, заверив, что все сказанное истинно.
Защитная речь Павла перед Феликсом
10 Наместник подал знак Павлу, и тот начал защитную речь:
– Мне известно, что ты уже много лет судишь этот народ, и я рад, что мне предоставляется возможность высказаться перед тобой в свою защиту. 11 Тебе нетрудно будет удостовериться в том, что не больше двенадцати дней тому назад я пришел на поклонение в Иерусалим. 12 Мои обвинители не видели, чтобы я спорил с кем-либо в храме или же возмущал народ в синагогах или в каком-либо другом месте города. 13 Они не могут доказать обвинений, которые сейчас выдвигают против меня. 14 Но я признаю, что поклоняюсь Богу наших отцов[c] и следую Пути, который мои обвинители называют сектой. Я верю всему, что записано в Законе и у Пророков, 15 и у меня такая же надежда на Бога, как и у этих людей – надежда на то, что будет воскресение как праведных, так и неправедных. 16 Поэтому я стараюсь, чтобы моя совесть была всегда чиста перед Богом и перед людьми.
17 После нескольких лет отсутствия я прибыл в Иерусалим, чтобы передать моему народу пожертвования для бедных и принести жертвы. 18 Меня застали в храме, когда я совершал обрядовое очищение. Но там не было никакой толпы и никаких беспорядков, 19 пока не пришли несколько иудеев из провинции Азия, которым и следовало бы представить здесь свои обвинения, если у них есть, в чем меня обвинить. 20 Или же пусть присутствующие здесь скажут, какую вину они нашли за мной, когда меня допрашивал Высший Совет. 21 Может быть, я виновен в том, что выкрикнул там: «Меня судят сегодня перед вами за надежду на воскресение мертвых»?
22 Феликс, который был довольно хорошо знаком с Путем, прервал слушание.
– Я вынесу решение по вашему вопросу, когда придет командир полка Лисий, – сказал он.
23 Он приказал сотнику содержать Павла под стражей, но предоставить ему некоторую свободу и разрешить его друзьям заботиться о его нуждах.
24 Спустя несколько дней Феликс пришел со своей женой – иудеянкой по имени Друзилла – и послал за Павлом, чтобы послушать о его вере в Иисуса Христа. 25 Павел говорил о праведности, воздержании и будущем суде. Феликса это испугало, и он сказал:
– Довольно на сегодня! Ступай, но при случае я тебя позову.
26 Он также надеялся, что Павел предложит ему взятку, и поэтому часто приказывал привести его и беседовал с ним.
27 Прошло два года, и Феликса сменил Порций Фест. Феликс, желая заслужить благосклонность предводителей иудеев, оставил Павла в темнице.
Acts 24
King James Version
24 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

Jødernes anklage mod Paulus
24 Fem dage efter at Paulus blev pågrebet,[a] ankom ypperstepræsten Ananias sammen med nogle af de jødiske ledere og en advokat ved navn Tertullus. De forklarede kort anklagerne for guvernøren. 2-3 Da Paulus derefter blev ført ind, begyndte Tertullus sin anklagetale: „Højtærede Felix! Vores taknemmelighed for den udbredte fred og de gode kår, som du har bragt til os jøder, kender ingen grænser. Vi er ikke i tvivl om, at det er din visionære ledelse, der har givet os de storslåede reformer, som nu bliver gennemført på alle områder. 4 Vi ønsker ikke at bruge mere af din kostbare tid end højst nødvendigt, og derfor beder jeg dig om, at du allernådigst vil høre på os, når vi fremlægger sagen i al korthed. 5 Vi har erfaret, at manden her er en ballademager, som forårsager optøjer blandt jøderne overalt i verden. Han er leder for den sekt, der er kendt under navnet Nazaræerne.[b] 6 Han prøvede endda at vanhellige templet, og derfor arresterede vi ham.[c] 8 Når du selv har forhørt ham om alle de her ting, vil du bedre kunne forstå, hvad det er, vi anklager ham for.” 9 De jødiske ledere støttede Tertullus i alle anklagerne og påstod, at sådan forholdt det sig.
Paulus’ forsvarstale for Felix
10 Guvernøren gav tegn til, at Paulus nu havde lejlighed til at forsvare sig, og han begyndte sin tale: „Det er med stor glæde og frimodighed, at jeg fremfører mit forsvar for dig, Felix, for jeg ved, at du har været dommer i jødiske sager i mange år. 11 Det er ikke mere end 12 dage siden, jeg ankom til Jerusalem for at tilbede i helligdommen. Det kan du let få bekræftet. 12 Jeg har ikke på noget tidspunkt foranstaltet diskussioner eller skabt røre blandt folk hverken på tempelpladsen, i synagogerne eller noget andet sted i byen. 13 De er ikke i stand til at bevise en eneste af deres anklager imod mig. 14 Men jeg indrømmer, at jeg tjener vores forfædres Gud i overensstemmelse med det, som vi kalder ‚Vejen’, men som de kalder en sekt. Jeg tror på alt det, der står i Toraen og de profetiske skrifter. 15 Endvidere er jeg overbevist om, at Gud engang vil oprejse alle mennesker fra de døde, hvad enten de hører ham til eller ej. Mine anklagere har for øvrigt den samme overbevisning. 16 Derfor gør jeg også mit bedste for altid at bevare en ren samvittighed for både Gud og mennesker.
17 Efter at have rejst i udlandet i flere år vendte jeg tilbage til Jerusalem for at overbringe en barmhjertighedsgave til mit folk og for at bringe nogle ofre til Gud. 18 Det var derfor, jeg var i templet, men jeg havde renset mig forinden. Jeg gav aldeles ingen anledning til sammenstimlen eller optøjer. 19 Det var nogle jøder fra provinsen Asien, som skabte tumulter. De burde have været her, hvis de havde haft noget at anklage mig for. 20 Men lad nu dem, der står her, fortælle, om man fandt noget at dømme mig for, da jeg blev fremstillet for Det jødiske Råd. 21 Det skulle da lige være den ene ting, jeg råbte, nemlig: ‚Når jeg stilles for retten i dag, er det, fordi jeg tror på opstandelsen fra de døde.’ ”
22 Felix vidste god besked om „Vejen”, så han hævede retten med følgende kommentar: „Når garnisonskommandanten Lysias er kommet herned, vil jeg afsige min dom.” 23 Derefter gav han ordre til officeren om, at Paulus skulle varetægtsfængsles og behandles godt, ligesom hans venner gerne måtte besøge ham og give ham, hvad han havde behov for.
Paulus forkynder om Jesus for Felix og Drusilla
24 Felix tog på en kort rejse og kom tilbage nogle dage senere sammen med sin kone Drusilla, der var jøde. Så sendte han bud efter Paulus, for at de begge kunne høre ham tale om troen på Jesus som Messias. 25 Men da Paulus begyndte at tale til dem om, hvordan man bliver accepteret af Gud, om afholdenhed og om den dom, der kommer engang, blev Felix ubehagelig berørt. „Lad det være nok for denne gang,” sagde han. „Du kan godt gå nu. Når jeg en dag får tid, sender jeg bud efter dig igen.” 26 Han håbede på at kunne presse penge af Paulus og sendte af den grund ofte bud efter ham for at tale med ham. 27 Sådan gik der to år, hvorefter Felix blev afløst som guvernør af Porkius Festus, og da Felix gerne ville stå sig godt med jøderne, lod han Paulus blive i fængslet.

New International Version
Paul’s Trial Before Felix
24 Five days later the high priest Ananias(A) went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges(B) against Paul before the governor.(C) 2 When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: “We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation. 3 Everywhere and in every way, most excellent(D) Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude. 4 But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly.
5 “We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots(E) among the Jews(F) all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene(G) sect(H) 6 and even tried to desecrate the temple;(I) so we seized him. [7] [a] 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”
9 The other Jews joined in the accusation,(J) asserting that these things were true.
10 When the governor(K) motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: “I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense. 11 You can easily verify that no more than twelve days(L) ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12 My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple,(M) or stirring up a crowd(N) in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city. 13 And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me.(O) 14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors(P) as a follower of the Way,(Q) which they call a sect.(R) I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,(S) 15 and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection(T) of both the righteous and the wicked.(U) 16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear(V) before God and man.
17 “After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor(W) and to present offerings. 18 I was ceremonially clean(X) when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor was I involved in any disturbance.(Y) 19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia,(Z) who ought to be here before you and bring charges if they have anything against me.(AA) 20 Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin— 21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”(AB)
22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way,(AC) adjourned the proceedings. “When Lysias the commander comes,” he said, “I will decide your case.” 23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard(AD) but to give him some freedom(AE) and permit his friends to take care of his needs.(AF)
24 Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.(AG) 25 As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control(AH) and the judgment(AI) to come, Felix was afraid(AJ) and said, “That’s enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.” 26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talked with him.
27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus,(AK) but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews,(AL) he left Paul in prison.(AM)
