So I am always striving to have a conscience that is clear before God and men. After several years' absence I came to bring contributions of charity for my nation, and to offer sacrifices. While I was performing these duties they found me just as I had completed the rites of my purification in the temple; however, there was no crowd with me and no disturbance at all. But there were some Jews from Asia who ought to be here before you and to present their charges, if they have any, against me. Or let these men themselves tell what wrong they found in me when I appeared before the council -- unless it is for one thing that I shouted out as I stood among them, 'It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am here on trial before you today.'"
