But only this one thing which I said among them in a loud voice, I am this day being judged on the question of the coming back from the dead.

But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

But when they got up they said nothing about such crimes as I had in mind:

But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

But when Paul made a request that he might be judged by Caesar, I gave orders for him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

But, in my opinion, there is no cause of death in him, and as he himself has made a request to be judged by Caesar, I have said that I would send him.

But I have no certain account of him to send to Caesar. So I have sent for him to come before you, and specially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the business has been gone into, I may have something to put in writing.

But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.

And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

And Paul said, It is my prayer to God that, in little or great measure, not only you, but all those hearing me today might be even as I am, but for these chains.

Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.

But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.
