All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| Acts 22:16 | And now why are you waiting? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’ |
| Acts 22:17 | When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) temple, I fell into a trance |
| Acts 22:19 | And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I used to go from one synagogue to another imprisoning and flogging those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who believed in you. |
| Acts 22:20 | And when the (to | τό | nom sg neut) blood of Stephen, your witness, was being shed, I myself was standing by approving and guarding the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) cloaks of those (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) who were killing him.’ |
| Acts 22:22 | They listened to him until this word, but then they raised their voices saying, saying “Away with such a fellow from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) earth, for it is not right for him to live!” |
| Acts 22:23 | While they were crying out and throwing off their (ta | τά | acc pl neut) cloaks and flinging dust in the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) air, |
| Acts 22:24 | the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) commanding officer ordered Paul to be brought back into the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) barracks, saying that he should be examined with whips so that he might know the reason why they were shouting at him that way. |
| Acts 22:25 | But when they had stretched him out for the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) lash, Paul said to the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) centurion standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?” |
| Acts 22:26 | When the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) centurion heard this, he went and reported to the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) commanding officer, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.” |
| Acts 22:27 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) commanding officer came to him and said, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” He (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) replied, “Yes.” |
| Acts 22:28 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) commanding officer answered, “I obtained this citizenship with a large sum of money.” Paul answered, “But I was even born one.” |
| Acts 22:29 | Immediately those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) who were about to examine him drew back from him; and the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) commanding officer was afraid, realizing that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him. |
| Acts 22:30 | But on the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) next day, wanting to know for sure what was the accusation being made against him by the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Jews, he released him and ordered the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) chief priests and all the (to | τό | acc sg neut) council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them. |
| Acts 23:1 | Looking intently at the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) council, Paul said, “My brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God up to this day.” |
| Acts 23:2 | At that the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) high priest Ananias ordered those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) standing near him to strike him on the (to | τό | acc sg neut) mouth. |
| Acts 23:3 | Then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you indeed sit judging me according to the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law yet contrary to the law order me to be struck?” |
| Acts 23:4 | Those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) standing near him said, “Dare you insult God’s high priest?” |
| Acts 23:5 | And Paul said, “I did not realize, brothers, that he was high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil about the ruler of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) your people.’” |
| Acts 23:6 | Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the (to | τό | nom sg neut) other Pharisees, he cried out in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) council, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is regarding my hope of a resurrection for the dead that I am on trial.” |
| Acts 23:7 | When he said this, an argument broke out between the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the (to | τό | nom sg neut) assembly was divided. |
| Acts 23:8 | (For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel nor spirit, but the Pharisees confess them all.) |
| Acts 23:9 | Then there arose a great uproar, and certain of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) scribes of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) party of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Pharisees stood up and protested vigorously, saying, “We find nothing evil in this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?” |
| Acts 23:10 | And when the argument became violent, the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) commanding officer, afraid that Paul would be torn apart by them, commanded the (to | τό | acc sg neut) soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) barracks. |
| Acts 23:11 | The (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) following night the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) facts about me in Jerusalem, so must you also testify in Rome.” |
| Acts 23:12 | When it was day, the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. |
