New International Version
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.’”(A)
22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way,(B) 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(C) but to give him some freedom(D) and permit his friends to take care of his needs.(E)
