²⁹ I found that he was being accused ^(A)about questions of their law, but ^(B)charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.

⁹ Then a great clamor arose, and some of ^(A)the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended sharply, ^(B)“We find nothing wrong in this man. What ^(C)if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?”

^14 (A)If you are insulted ^(B)for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory^[a] and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ But ^(C)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or ^(D)as a meddler. ¹⁶ Yet ^(E)if anyone suffers as a ^(F)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God ^(G)in that name.
