Acts 26:5 CPDV

³  especially since you know everything that pertains to the Jews, both customs and questions. Because of this, I beg you to listen to me patiently.

⁴  And certainly, all the Jews know about my life from my youth, which had its beginning among my own people in Jerusalem.

⁵  They knew me well from the beginning, (if they would be willing to offer testimony) for I lived according to the most determined sect of our religion: as a Pharisee.

⁶  And now, it is in the hope of the Promise which was made by God to our fathers that I stand subject to judgment.

⁷  It is the Promise that our twelve tribes, worshiping night and day, hope to see. About this hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
