Acts 26:5 ASV

³  especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

⁴  My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

⁵  having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

⁶  And now I stand 'here' to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;

⁷  unto which 'promise' our twelve tribes, earnestly serving 'God' night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!
