And the high-priest and the principal persons among the Jews informed him against Paul, and entreated him,

Then Festus answered, that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was going thither shortly.

And after staying with them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the morrow seated on the bench, commanded Paul to be brought.

And on his appearing, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem surrounded him, and laid many and heavy accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove.

Then Festus, desirous of ingratiating himself with the Jews, replying to Paul, said, Wilt thou go up unto Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

Then said Paul, I am standing before the tribunal of Caesar, where I have a right to be judged: against the Jews I have committed no offence, as thou also clearly perceivest.

And as their stay there was extended to a considerable time, Festus communicated to the king Paul's affairs, saying, There is a certain man left by Felix, a prisoner:

but only pleaded against him certain disputes about their own mode of religious worship, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

But Paul appealing that he should be reserved for the cognizance of Augustus, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I should send him to Caesar.

On the morrow therefore, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with a very splendid retinue, and were entered into the place of audience, with the military tribunes, and the men of superior eminence in the city, then at the order of Festus Paul was produced.

THEN Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching out his hand, began his defence:

As thus he was proceeding in his defence, Festus with a loud voice said, Paul, thou art raving; much reading hath driven thee to madness.

Then Agrippa said to Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

And Paul replied, would to God, that not only thou, but also that all who are hearing me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these chains.

NOW as it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort.

And the next day we arrived at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul with the greatest humanity, and permitted him to go to his friends, to enjoy the benefit of their care.

And much time being consumed, and sailing now becoming dangerous, because the fast was already past, Paul admonished them,

But the centurion paid more attention to the master and to the pilot than to the things which were spoken by Paul.

Now after being a long while without food, then stood up Paul in the midst of them, and said, Ye ought, my friends, to have been persuaded by me, and not have sailed from Crete, and got this loss and damage.

saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and behold! God hath graciously given thee all who are sailing with thee.

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these men abide in the ship, ye cannot be preserved.

And while they waited until the day should break, Paul exhorted them all to take some nourishment, saying, To day, expecting the fourteenth day, ye are continuing without food, taking nothing.

But the centurion, desirous to preserve Paul, withheld them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim to jump overboard first, and reach the land:

But as Paul was gathering up a faggot of sticks, and laying them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

And it so happened that the father of Publius was then confined to his bed with an attack of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul went in, and after praying, laid his hands upon him, and healed him.

And the brethren from thence, when they heard of our motions, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and felt fresh courage.

And when we were come to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but he permitted Paul to have an apartment by himself, with a soldier only who guarded him.

Now it came to pass that after three days Paul called together the principal persons of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have done nothing contrary to the people and the customs of our ancestors, yet have I been delivered up a prisoner into the hands of the Romans.

So being divided in sentiment among themselves, they broke up, Paul adding one word, That well had the Holy Ghost spoken by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,

But Paul abode two whole years in his own hired apartment, and received all who came to him,

PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God,

PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,

Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul?

For when one saith, I am indeed of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but the ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each [of us]?

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are your's;

The salutation of Paul with mine own hand.

PAUL an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy a brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

NOW I Paul myself exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who, when present, am indeed lowly among you, but being absent, am bold towards you.

PAUL the apostle (not [sent] from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and our Father who raised him from the dead),

Behold, I Paul declare to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

FOR this cause [am] I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy a brother,

if ye abide in faith grounded and firm, and never moved aside from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached to the whole creation which is under heaven, of which I Paul am a minister.

The salutation of Paul with mine own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ: grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore we wished to have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan prevented us.

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is my sign in every letter: so I write.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God, our Saviour, and Lord, Jesus Christ, who is our hope;

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of truth which leads to godliness;

PAUL, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a brother, to Philemon the beloved, and our fellow-labourer,

I rather for love's sake entreat, being such as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner for Jesus Christ.

I Paul have given it under my own hand, I will repay it, not to say to thee, that thou owest even thine own self unto me.

And account the long suffering of our Lord conducive to salvation; as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written unto you;
