Atos 23 - Bíblia Online

Paulo, fixando os olhos no sinédrio, disse: Irmãos, eu me tenho portado diante de Deus com toda a boa consciência até o dia de hoje. 
Ananias, sumo sacerdote, mandou aos que estavam ao lado de Paulo que lhe dessem na boca. 
Então Paulo lhe disse: Deus te ferirá, parede branqueada; tu estás aí sentado para me julgar segundo a Lei, e contra a Lei mandas que eu seja ferido. 
Os que estavam ali, perguntaram: Injurias tu o sumo sacerdote de Deus? 
Respondeu Paulo: Eu não sabia, irmãos, que ele era sumo sacerdote; porque escrito está: Não falarás mal do chefe do teu povo. 
Paulo, sabendo que uma parte pertencia aos saduceus e a outra aos fariseus, clamou no sinédrio: Irmãos, eu sou fariseu, filho de fariseus; por causa da esperança e da ressurreição dos mortos é que eu estou sendo julgado. 
Dizendo isto, houve dissensão entre os fariseus e saduceus, e a multidão dividiu-se. 
Pois os saduceus dizem que não há ressurreição, e que não há anjos nem espíritos, mas os fariseus confessam uma e outra coisa. 
Suscitou-se grande clamor e, levantando-se alguns escribas do partido dos fariseus, altercavam, dizendo: Não achamos neste homem mal algum; e quem sabe se lhe falou algum espírito ou algum anjo? 
Tornando-se grande a dissensão, o tribuno, temendo que Paulo fosse despedaçado pelo povo, mandou que os soldados descessem e o tirassem do meio deles e o levassem para a cidadela. 
Na noite seguinte o Senhor, pondo-se ao lado dele, disse: Tem bom ânimo; pois assim como deste testemunho de mim em Jerusalém, assim importa também que o dês em Roma. 
Quando amanheceu, os judeus coligaram-se e juraram sob pena de anátema que não comeriam nem beberiam, enquanto não matassem a Paulo. 
Os que fizeram esta conjuração, eram mais de quarenta; 
e estes, indo ter com os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos, disseram: Juramos sob pena de anátema não provar coisa alguma enquanto não matássemos a Paulo. 
Agora vós, com o sinédrio, notificai ao tribuno que vo-lo apresente, como se houvesse de investigar com mais precisão a sua causa; e nós, antes que ele chegue, estamos prontos para o matar. 
Mas o filho da irmã de Paulo, sabendo da cilada, foi, entrou na cidadela e avisou a Paulo. 
Então Paulo, chamando um dos centuriões, disse: Leva este moço ao tribuno, porque tem alguma coisa a comunicar-lhe. 
Assim, pois, tomando-o ele consigo, levou-o ao tribuno e disse: O preso Paulo, chamando-me, pediu que eu trouxesse à tua presença este moço que tem alguma coisa que dizer-te. 
O tribuno, tomando-o pela mão e retirando-se à parte, perguntou-lhe em particular: Que é o que tens a comunicar-me? 
Respondeu ele: Os judeus combinaram rogar-te que amanhã apresentes Paulo ao sinédrio, como se houvesse de inquirir com mais precisão alguma coisa a seu respeito. 
Tu, pois, não te deixes persuadir por eles; porque mais de quarenta homens dentre eles lhe armam ciladas, os quais juraram sob pena de anátema não comer nem beber, enquanto o não matarem; e agora estão prontos, esperando a tua promessa. 
O tribuno, pois, despediu o moço recomendando-lhe que a ninguém dissesse que o havia informado disso. 
Chamando dois centuriões, disse: Tende prontos, desde a hora terceira da noite, duzentos soldados de infantaria, setenta de cavalaria e duzentos lanceiros, para irem até Cesaréia; 
e ordenou-lhes que aprontassem animais, para que Paulo montasse, e que o levassem salvo ao governador Félix, 
a quem escreveu uma carta nestes termos: 
Cláudio Lísias ao potentíssimo governador Félix, saúde. 
Este homem foi preso pelos judeus, e estava prestes a ser morto por eles, quando eu, sobrevindo com a tropa, o livrei, ao saber que era romano. 
Querendo saber a causa por que o acusavam, levei-o ao sinédrio; 
e achei que era acusado de questões da lei deles, mas que não havia acusação alguma que merecesse morte ou prisão. 
Sendo eu informado de que haveria uma cilada contra este homem, envio-to sem demora, intimando também aos acusadores que digam perante ti o que há contra ele. 
Os soldados, pois, conforme lhes fora ordenado, tomaram a Paulo e conduziram-no de noite a Antipátride; 
e no dia seguinte voltaram para a cidadela, deixando os soldados de cavalaria para o acompanhar; 
os quais, chegando a Cesaréia, entregaram a carta ao governador, e apresentaram-lhe também Paulo. 
Ele depois de a ler e perguntar de que província era, e sabendo que era da Cilícia, disse: 
Ouvir-te-ei, quando chegarem os teus acusadores; e mandou que fosse retido no Pretório de Herodes. 

And Paul, looking fixedly at the Sanhedrin, said, My brothers, my life has been upright before God till this day. 
And the high priest, Ananias, gave orders to those who were near him to give him a blow on the mouth. 
Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law? 
And those who were near said, Do you say such words against God's high priest? 
And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people. 
But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead. 
And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting. 
For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these. 
And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit? 
And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building. 
And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome. 
And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death. 
And more than forty of them took this oath. 
And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death 
So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death. 
But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul. 
And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him. 
So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you. 
And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me? 
And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail. 
But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order. 
So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things. 
And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night: 
And get beasts so that they may put Paul on them, and take him safely to Felix, the ruler. 
And he sent a letter in these words: 
Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you. 
This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman. 
And, desiring to get at the reason for their attack on him, I took him down to their Sanhedrin: 
Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death. 
And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you. 
So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris. 
But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place: 
And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him. 
And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia, 
I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
