1599 Geneva Bible
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Of the resurrection of the dead am I accused of you this day.
22 [a]Now when Felix heard these things, he deferred them, and said, When I shall more [b]perfectly know the things which concern this way, by the coming of Lysias the chief Captain, I will decide your matter.
23 [c]Then he commanded a Centurion to keep Paul, and that he should have ease, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister unto him, or to come unto him.
