Acts 24:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ But I did shout one thing when I stood before them: ‘·You are judging me [or I am on trial before you] today ·because I believe that people will rise from [or with respect to the issue of the resurrection of] the dead!’”

²² Felix already ·understood much about [^Lknew accurately the facts about] the ·Way of Jesus [^LWay; 22:4]. He ·stopped the trial [adjourned the hearing] and said, “When ·commander [tribune] Lysias comes ·here [^Ldown], I will decide your case.” ²³ Felix ·told [^Lordered] the ·officer [centurion] to keep ·Paul [^Lhim] guarded but to give him some freedom and to let his ·friends [^Lown people] ·bring what he needed [meet his needs; ^Lserve him].
