¹⁴ But I confess this to you, that in accordance with ^[a](A)the Way, which they call a ^(B)sect, I do serve ^(C)the God of our fathers, ^(D)believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and is written in the Prophets; ¹⁵ having a hope in God, which ^(E)these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. ¹⁶ In view of this ^(F)I also do my best to maintain a blameless conscience both before God and before other people, always. ¹⁷ Now ^(G)after several years I ^(H)came to bring charitable gifts to my nation and to present offerings, ¹⁸ in which they found me occupied in the temple, having been ^(I)purified, without any ^(J)crowd or uproar. But there were some ^(K)Jews from ^[b]Asia— ¹⁹ who ought to have been present before you and to have been ^(L)bringing charges, if they should have anything against me. ²⁰ Or else have these men themselves declare what violation they discovered when I stood before ^(M)the ^[c]Council, ²¹ other than in regard to this one declaration which ^(N)I shouted while standing among them, ‘For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today!’”
