The Plot Against Paul

¹¹ But ^(A)the following night the Lord stood by him and said, ^[a]“Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in ^(B)Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at ^(C)Rome.”

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke in ^(A)the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and ^(B)no one laid hands on Him, for ^(C)His hour had not yet come.

^23 (A)For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and ^(B)whom I serve, ²⁴ saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ ²⁵ Therefore take heart, men, ^(C)for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

^10 (A)for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”

⁵ They answered Him, ^(A)“Jesus ^[a]of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who ^(B)betrayed Him, also stood with them. ⁶ Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
