Acts 24:11-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. About 12 days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. You can easily check on this.

12. Those bringing charges against me did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple. I wasn't stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city.

13. They can't prove to you any of the charges they are making against me.

14. "It is true that I worship the God of our people. I am a follower of the Way of Jesus. Those bringing charges against me call it a cult. I believe everything that agrees with the Law. I believe everything written in the Prophets.

15. I have the same hope in God that these men have. I believe that both the godly and the ungodly will rise from the dead.

16. So I always try not to do anything wrong in the eyes of God and man.
