17
 And it came to pass, that, when I [Paul] was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18
 and saw him saying unto me,
Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19
 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20
 and when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21
 And he said unto me,
Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22
 And they gave him audience unto this word, and
then
lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a
fellow
from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23
 And as they cried out, and cast off
their
clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24
 the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25
 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26
 When the centurion heard
that,
he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27
 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman?
He said, Yea.
28
 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom.
And Paul said, But I was
free
born.
29
 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30
 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from
his
bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
23:
1
 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men
and
brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2
 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3
 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee,
thou
whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4
 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
5
 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6
 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men
and
brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7
 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8
 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9
 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes
that were
of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10
 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring
him
into the castle.
1
 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2
 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the L
ORD
, and against his anointed,
saying,
3
 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4
 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the L
ORD
shall have them in derision.
5
 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6
 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7
 I will declare the decree: the L
ORD
hath said unto me, Thou
art
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8
 Ask of me, and I shall give
thee
the heathen
for
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth
for
thy possession.
9
 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10
 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11
 Serve the L
ORD
with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12
 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish
from
the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed
are
all they that put their trust in him.
13
 He that answereth a matter before he heareth
it,
it
is
folly and shame unto him.
