New International Version
20 Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin— 21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”(A)
22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way,(B) adjourned the proceedings. “When Lysias the commander comes,” he said, “I will decide your case.”
