As they went out, they talked it over and agreed,“ This man hasn’t done anything to deserve death or imprisonment.”

But since it is merely a question of words and names and your Jewish law, take care of it yourselves. I refuse to judge such matters.”

But in my opinion he has done nothing deserving death. However, since he appealed his case to the emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome.

The Romans tried me and wanted to release me, because they found no cause for the death sentence.

Paul realized that some members of the high council were Sadducees and some were Pharisees, so he shouted,“ Brothers, I am a Pharisee, as were my ancestors! And I am on trial because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!”This divided the council— the Pharisees against the Sadducees—for the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, but the Pharisees believe in all of these.So there was a great uproar. Some of the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees jumped up and began to argue forcefully.“ We see nothing wrong with him,” they shouted.“ Perhaps a spirit or an angel spoke to him.”

Instead, it was something about their religion and a dead man named Jesus, who Paul insists is alive.I was at a loss to know how to investigate these things, so I asked him whether he would be willing to stand trial on these charges in Jerusalem.

When Paul arrived, the Jewish leaders from Jerusalem gathered around and made many serious accusations they couldn’t prove.Paul denied the charges.“ I am not guilty of any crime against the Jewish laws or the Temple or the Roman government,” he said.

We have found this man to be a troublemaker who is constantly stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the cult known as the Nazarenes.Furthermore, he was trying to desecrate the Temple when we arrested him.

If I have done something worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die. But if I am innocent, no one has a right to turn me over to these men to kill me. I appeal to Caesar!”

The governor then motioned for Paul to speak. Paul said,“ I know, sir, that you have been a judge of Jewish affairs for many years, so I gladly present my defense before you.You can quickly discover that I arrived in Jerusalem no more than twelve days ago to worship at the Temple.My accusers never found me arguing with anyone in the Temple, nor stirring up a riot in any synagogue or on the streets of the city.These men cannot prove the things they accuse me of doing.“ But I admit that I follow the Way, which they call a cult. I worship the God of our ancestors, and I firmly believe the Jewish law and everything written in the prophets.I have the same hope in God that these men have, that he will raise both the righteous and the unrighteous.Because of this, I always try to maintain a clear conscience before God and all people.“ After several years away, I returned to Jerusalem with money to aid my people and to offer sacrifices to God.My accusers saw me in the Temple as I was completing a purification ceremony. There was no crowd around me and no rioting.But some Jews from the province of Asia were there— and they ought to be here to bring charges if they have anything against me!Ask these men here what crime the Jewish high council found me guilty of,except for the one time I shouted out,‘ I am on trial before you today because I believe in the resurrection of the dead!’”
