Acts of the Apostles 23

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.	1 Intendens autem concilium Paulus ait: “ Viri fratres, ego omniconscientia bona conversatus sum ante Deum usque in hodiernum diem ”.
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.	2 Princeps autem sacerdotum Ananias praecepit astantibus sibi percutere os eius.
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?	3 Tunc Paulus ad eum dixit: “ Percutiet te Deus, paries dealbate! Et tu sedesiudicans me secundum legem et contra legem iubes me percuti? ”.
4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?	4 Et, quiastabant, dixerunt: “ Summum sacerdotem Dei maledicis?”.
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.	5 Dixit autemPaulus: “ Nesciebam, fratres, quia princeps est sacerdotum; scriptum est enim:“Principem populi tui non maledices” ”.
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.	6 Sciens autem Paulus quia una pars esset sadducaeorum, et altera pharisaeorum,exclamabat in concilio: “ Viri fratres, ego pharisaeus sum, filiuspharisaeorum; de spe et resurrectione mortuorum ego iudicor ”.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.	7 Et cum haecdiceret, facta est dissensio inter pharisaeos et sadducaeos; et divisa estmultitudo.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.	8 Sadducaei enim dicunt non esse resurrectionem neque angelum nequespiritum; pharisaei autem utrumque confitentur.
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.	9 Factus est autem clamormagnus; et surgentes scribae quidam partis pharisaeorum pugnabant dicentes: “Nihil mali invenimus in homine isto: quod si spiritus locutus est ei aut angelus”;
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.	10 et cum magna dissensio facta esset, timens tribunus ne discerpereturPaulus ab ipsis, iussit milites descendere, ut raperent eum de medio eorum acdeducerent in castra.
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.	11 Sequenti autem nocte, assistens ei Dominus ait: “Constans esto! Sicut enim testificatus es, quae sunt de me, in Ierusalem, sic teoportet et Romae testificari ”.
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.	12 Facta autem die, faciebant concursum Iudaei et devoverunt se dicentes nequemanducaturos neque bibituros, donec occiderent Paulum.
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.	13 Erant autem plus quamquadraginta, qui hanc coniurationem fecerant;
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.	14 qui accedentes ad principessacerdotum et seniores dixerunt: “ Devotione devovimus nos nihil gustaturos,donec occidamus Paulum.
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.	15 Nunc ergo vos notum facite tribuno cum concilio, utproducat illum ad vos, tamquam aliquid certius cognituri de eo; nos vero,priusquam appropiet, parati sumus interficere illum ”.
16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.	16 Quod cum audisset filius sororis Pauli insidias, venit et intravit in castranuntiavitque Paulo.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.	17 Vocans autem Paulus ad se unum ex centurionibus ait: “Adulescentem hunc perduc ad tribunum, habet enim aliquid indicare illi ”.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.	18 Et ille quidem assumens eum duxit ad tribunum et ait: “ Vinctus Paulus vocansrogavit me hunc adulescentem perducere ad te, habentem aliquid loqui tibi ”.
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?	19 Apprehendens autem tribunus manum illius, secessit cum eo seorsum etinterrogabat: “ Quid est, quod habes indicare mihi? ”.
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.	20 Ille autem dixit:“ Iudaei constituerunt rogare te, ut crastina die Paulum producas inconcilium, quasi aliquid certius inquisiturum sit de illo.
21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.	21 Tu ergo necredideris illis; insidiantur enim ei ex eis viri amplius quadraginta, qui sedevoverunt non manducare neque bibere, donec interficiant eum; et nunc paratisunt exspectantes promissum tuum ”.
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.	22 Tribunus igitur dimisit adulescentem praecipiens, ne cui eloqueretur quoniam“ haec nota mihi fecisti ”.
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;	23 Et vocatis duobus centurionibus, dixit: “Parate milites ducentos, ut eant usque Caesaream, et equites septuaginta etlancearios ducentos, a tertia hora noctis,
24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.	24 et iumenta praeparate ”, utimponentes Paulum salvum perducerent ad Felicem praesidem,
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:	25 scribens epistulamhabentem formam hanc:
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.	26 “ Claudius Lysias optimo praesidi Felici salutem.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.	27 Virum hunc comprehensum a Iudaeis et incipientem interfici ab eis, supervenienscum exercitu eripui, cognito quia Romanus est.
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:	28 Volensque scire causam,propter quam accusabant illum, deduxi in concilium eorum;
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.	29 quem inveniaccusari de quaestionibus legis ipsorum, nihil vero dignum morte aut vinculishabentem crimen.
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.	30 Et cum mihi perlatum esset de insidiis, quae in virumpararentur, confestim misi ad te denuntians et accusatoribus, ut dicant adversumeum apud te ”.
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.	31 Milites ergo, secundum praeceptum sibi assumentes Paulum, duxerunt per noctemin Antipatridem;
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:	32 et postera die, dimissis equitibus, ut abirent cum eo,reversi sunt ad castra.
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.	33 Qui cum venissent Caesaream et tradidissent epistulampraesidi, statuerunt ante illum et Paulum.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;	34 Cum legisset autem etinterrogasset de qua provincia esset, et cognoscens quia de Cilicia:
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.	35 “Audiam te, inquit, cum et accusatores tui venerint ”; iussitque in praetorio Herodis custodiri eum.
