Ezra 5:5-6:18 : 5 But the eye{H5870} of their God{H426} was{H1934}{(H8754)} upon{H5922} the elders{H7868}{(H8750)} of the Jews{H3062}, that they could not{H3809} cause{H989} them{H1994} to cease{H989}{(H8754)}, till{H5705} the matter{H2941} came{H1946}{(H8748)} to Darius{H1868}: and then{H116} they returned answer{H8421}{(H8681)} by letter{H5407} concerning{H5922} this{H1836} matter. 6 The copy{H6573} of the letter{H104} that Tatnai{(H8674)}, governor{H6347} on this side{H5675} the river{H5103}, and Shetharboznai{H8370}, and his companions{H3675} the Apharsachites{H671}, which were on this side{H5675} the river{H5103}, sent{H7972}{(H8754)} unto{H5922} Darius{H1868} the king{H4430}: 7 They sent{H7972}{(H8754)} a letter{H6600} unto{H5922} him, wherein{H1459} was written{H3790}{(H8752)} thus{H1836};

15 And said{H560}{(H8754)} unto him, Take{H5376}{(H8747)} these{H412} vessels{H3984}, go{H236}{(H8747)}, carry{H5182}{(H8680)} them{H1994} into the temple{H1965} that is in Jerusalem{H3390}, and let the house{H1005} of God{H426} be builded{H1124}{(H8731)} in{H5922} his place{H870}. 16 Then{H116} came{H858}{(H8754)} the same{H1791} Sheshbazzar{H8340}, and laid{H3052}{(H8754)} the foundation{H787} of the house{H1005} of God{H426} which is in Jerusalem{H3390}: and since{H4481} that time{H116} even until{H5705} now{H3705} hath it been in building{H1124}{(H8732)}, and yet it is not{H3809} finished{H8000}{(H8752)}. 17 Now{H3705} therefore, if{H2006} it seem good{H2869} to{H5922} the king{H4430}, let there be search{H1240}{(H8721)} made in the king's{H4430} treasure{H1596} house{H1005}, which is there{H8536} at Babylon{H895}, whether{H2006} it be{H383} so, that a decree{H2942} was made{H7761}{(H8752)} of{H4481} Cyrus{H3567} the king{H4430} to build{H1124}{(H8749)} this{H1791} house{H1005} of God{H426} at Jerusalem{H3390}, and let the king{H4430} send{H7972}{(H8748)} his pleasure{H7470} to us concerning{H5922} this matter{H1836}. 1 Then{H116} Darius{H1868} the king{H4430} made{H7761}{(H8754)} a decree{H2942}, and search{H1240}{(H8745)} was made in the house{H1005} of the rolls{H5609}, where{H8536} the treasures{H1596} were laid up{H5182}{(H8683)} in Babylon{H895}. 2 And there was found{H7912}{(H8728)} at Achmetha{H307}, in the palace{H1001} that is in the province{H4083} of the Medes{H4076}, a{H2298} roll{H4040}, and therein{H1459} was a record{H1799} thus{H3652} written{H3790}{(H8752)}: 3 In the first{H2298} year{H8140} of Cyrus{H3567} the king{H4430} the same Cyrus{H3567} the king{H4430} made{H7761}{(H8754)} a decree{H2942} concerning the house{H1005} of God{H426} at Jerusalem{H3390}, Let the house{H1005} be builded{H1124}{(H8731)}, the place{H870} where they offered{H1684}{(H8751)} sacrifices{H1685}, and let the foundations{H787} thereof be strongly laid{H5446}{(H8775)}; the height{H7314} thereof threescore{H8361} cubits{H521}, and the breadth{H6613} thereof threescore{H8361} cubits{H521}; 4 With three{H8532} rows{H5073} of great{H1560} stones{H69}, and a row{H5073} of new{H2323} timber{H636}: and let the expenses{H5313} be given{H3052}{(H8725)} out of{H4481} the king's{H4430} house{H1005}: 5 And also{H638} let the golden{H1722} and silver{H3702} vessels{H3984} of the house{H1005} of God{H426}, which Nebuchadnezzar{H5020} took forth{H5312}{(H8684)} out of{H4481} the temple{H1965} which is at Jerusalem{H3390}, and brought{H2987}{(H8684)} unto Babylon{H895}, be restored{H8421}{(H8681)}, and brought again{H1946}{(H8748)} unto the temple{H1965} which is at Jerusalem{H3390}, every one to his place{H870}, and place{H5182}{(H8681)} them in the house{H1005} of God{H426}. 6 Now{H3705} therefore, Tatnai{(H8674)}, governor{H6347} beyond{H5675} the river{H5103}, Shetharboznai{H8370}, and your companions{H3675} the Apharsachites{H671}, which are beyond{H5675} the river{H5103}, be ye{H1934}{(H8754)} far{H7352} from{H4481} thence{H8536}: 7 Let the work{H5673} of this{H1791} house{H1005} of God{H426} alone{H7662}{(H8747)}; let the governor{H6347} of the Jews{H3062} and the elders{H7868}{(H8750)} of the Jews{H3062} build{H1124}{(H8748)} this{H1791} house{H1005} of God{H426} in{H5922} his place{H870}. 8 Moreover I{H4481} make{H7761}{(H8752)} a decree{H2942} what{H3964} ye shall do{H5648}{(H8748)} to{H5974} the elders{H7868}{(H8750)} of these{H479} Jews{H3062} for the building{H1124}{(H8749)} of this{H1791} house{H1005} of God{H426}: that of the king's{H4430} goods{H5232}, even of{H1768} the tribute{H4061} beyond{H5675} the river{H5103}, forthwith{H629} expenses{H5313} be{H1934}{(H8748)} given{H3052}{(H8727)} unto these{H479} men{H1400}, that they be not{H3809} hindered{H989}{(H8749)}. 9 And that which{H4101} they have need of{H2818}{(H8750)}, both young{H1123} bullocks{H8450}, and rams{H1798}, and lambs{H563}, for the burnt offerings{H5928} of the God{H426} of heaven{H8065}, wheat{H2591}, salt{H4416}, wine{H2562}, and oil{H4887}, according to the appointment{H3983} of the priests{H3549} which are at Jerusalem{H3390}, let it be{H1934}{(H8748)} given{H3052}{(H8727)} them day{H3118} by day{H3118} without{H3809} fail{H7960}: 10 That they may offer{H1934}{(H8748)}{H7127}{(H8683)} sacrifices of sweet savours{H5208} unto the God{H426} of heaven{H8065}, and pray{H6739}{(H8743)} for the life{H2417} of the king{H4430}, and of his sons{H1123}. 11 Also{H4481} I have made{H7761}{(H8752)} a decree{H2942}, that whosoever{H3606}{H606} shall alter{H8133}{(H8681)} this{H1836} word{H6600}, let timber{H636} be pulled down{H5256}{(H8725)} from{H4481} his house{H1005}, and being set up{H2211}{(H8752)}, let him be hanged{H4223}{(H8725)} thereon{H5922}; and let his house{H1005} be made{H5648}{(H8725)} a dunghill{H5122} for{H5922} this{H1836}. 12 And the God{H426} that hath caused his name{H8036} to dwell{H7932}{(H8745)} there{H8536} destroy{H4049}{(H8741)} all{H3606} kings{H4430} and people{H5972}, that shall put{H7972}{(H8748)} to their hand{H3028} to alter{H8133}{(H8682)} and to destroy{H2255}{(H8742)} this{H1791} house{H1005} of God{H426} which is at Jerusalem{H3390}. I{H576} Darius{H1868} have made{H7761}{(H8754)} a decree{H2942}; let it be done{H5648}{(H8725)} with speed{H629}. 13 Then{H116} Tatnai{(H8674)}, governor{H6347} on this side{H5675} the river{H5103}, Shetharboznai{H8370}, and their companions{H3675}, according{H6903} to that which Darius{H1868} the king{H4430} had sent{H7972}{(H8754)}, so{H3660} they did{H5648}{(H8754)} speedily{H629}. 14 And the elders{H7868}{(H8750)} of the Jews{H3062} builded{H1124}{(H8750)}, and they prospered{H6744}{(H8683)} through the prophesying{H5017} of Haggai{H2292} the prophet{H5029} and Zechariah{H2148} the son{H1247} of Iddo{H5714}. And they builded{H1124}{(H8754)}, and finished{H3635}{(H8806)} it, according{H4481} to the commandment{H2941} of the God{H426} of Israel{H3479}, and according to the commandment{H2942} of Cyrus{H3567}, and Darius{H1868}, and Artaxerxes{H783} king{H4430} of Persia{H6540}. 15 And this{H1836} house{H1005} was finished{H3319}{(H8806)} on{H5705} the third{H8532} day{H3118} of the month{H3393} Adar{H144}, which was{H1932} in the sixth{H8353} year{H8140} of the reign{H4437} of Darius{H1868} the king{H4430}. 16 And the children{H1123} of Israel{H3479}, the priests{H3549}, and the Levites{H3879}, and the rest{H7606} of the children{H1123} of the captivity{H1547}, kept{H5648}{(H8754)} the dedication{H2597} of this{H1836} house{H1005} of God{H426} with joy{H2305}, 17 And offered{H7127}{(H8684)} at the dedication{H2597} of this{H1836} house{H1005} of God{H426} an hundred{H3969} bullocks{H8450}, two hundred{H3969} rams{H1798}, four{H703} hundred{H3969} lambs{H563}; and for a sin offering{H2402}{(H8675)}{H2409} for{H5922} all{H3606} Israel{H3479}, twelve{H8648}{H6236} he{H6841} goats{H5796}, according to the number{H4510} of the tribes{H7625} of Israel{H3479}. 18 And they set{H6966}{(H8684)} the priests{H3549} in their divisions{H6392}, and the Levites{H3879} in their courses{H4255}, for{H5922} the service{H5673} of God{H426}, which is at Jerusalem{H3390}; as it is written{H3792} in the book{H5609} of Moses{H4873}.
Ps 2:1-2 : 1 Why do the heathen{H1471} rage{H7283}{(H8804)}, and the people{H3816} imagine{H1897}{(H8799)} a vain thing{H7385}? 2 The kings{H4428} of the earth{H776} set{H3320}{(H8691)} themselves, and the rulers{H7336}{(H8802)} take counsel{H3245}{(H8738)} together{H3162}, against the LORD{H3068}, and against his anointed{H4899}, saying,
Nah 1:11 : 11 There is one come out{H3318}{(H8804)} of thee, that imagineth{H2803}{(H8802)} evil{H7451} against the LORD{H3068}, a wicked{H1100} counsellor{H3289}{(H8802)}.
Acts 24:1-9 : 1 And{G1161} after{G3326} five{G4002} days{G2250} Ananias{G367} the high priest{G749} descended{G2597}{(G5627)} with{G3326} the elders{G4245}, and{G2532} with a certain{G5100} orator{G4489} named Tertullus{G5061}, who{G3748} informed{G1718}{(G5656)} the governor{G2232} against{G2596} Paul{G3972}. 2 And{G1161} when he{G846} was called forth{G2564}{(G5685)}, Tertullus{G5061} began{G756}{(G5662)} to accuse{G2723}{(G5721)} him, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Seeing that by{G1223} thee{G4675} we enjoy{G5177}{(G5723)} great{G4183} quietness{G1515}, and{G2532} that very worthy deeds{G2735} are done{G1096}{(G5740)} unto this{G5129} nation{G1484} by{G1223} thy{G4674} providence{G4307}, 3 {G5037} We accept{G588}{(G5736)} it always{G3839}, and{G2532} in all places{G3837}, most noble{G2903} Felix{G5344}, with{G3326} all{G3956} thankfulness{G2169}. 4 Notwithstanding{G1161}, that{G3363} I be{G4119} not{G3363}{G1909} further{G4119} tedious{G1465}{(G5725)} unto thee{G4571}, I pray{G3870}{(G5719)} thee{G4571} that thou wouldest hear{G191}{(G5658)} us{G2257} of thy{G4674} clemency{G1932} a few words{G4935}. 5 For{G1063} we have found{G2147}{(G5631)} this{G5126} man{G435} a pestilent{G3061} fellow, and{G2532} a mover{G2795}{(G5723)} of sedition{G4714} among all{G3956} the Jews{G2453} throughout{G2596} the world{G3625}, and{G5037} a ringleader{G4414} of the sect{G139} of the Nazarenes{G3480}: 6 Who{G3739} also{G2532} hath gone about{G3985}{(G5707)} to profane{G953}{(G5658)} the temple{G2411}:{G2532} whom{G3739} we took{G2902}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} would{G2309}{(G5656)} have judged{G2919}{(G5721)} according{G2596} to our{G2251} law{G3551}. 7 But{G1161} the chief captain{G5506} Lysias{G3079} came{G3928}{(G5631)} upon us, and with{G3326} great{G4183} violence{G970} took him away{G520}{(G5627)} out of{G1537} our{G2257} hands{G5495}, 8 Commanding{G2753}{(G5660)} his{G846} accusers{G2725} to come{G2064}{(G5738)} unto{G1909} thee{G4571}: by examining{G350}{(G5660)} of{G3844} whom{G3739} thyself{G846} mayest{G1410}{(G5695)} take knowledge{G1921}{(G5629)} of{G4012} all{G3956} these things{G5130}, whereof{G3739} we{G2249} accuse{G2723}{(G5719)} him{G846}. 9 And{G1161} the Jews{G2453} also{G2532} assented{G4934}{(G5639)}, saying{G5335}{(G5723)} that these things{G5023} were{G2192}{(G5721)} so{G3779}. 10 Then{G1161} Paul{G3972}, after that the governor{G2232} had beckoned{G3506}{(G5660)} unto him{G846} to speak{G3004}{(G5721)}, answered{G611}{(G5662)}, Forasmuch as I know{G1987}{(G5740)} that thou{G4571} hast been{G5607}{(G5752)} of{G1537} many{G4183} years{G2094} a judge{G2923} unto this{G5129} nation{G1484}, I do{G626} the more cheerfully{G2115} answer{G626}{(G5736)} for{G4012} myself{G1683}: 11 Because that thou{G4675} mayest{G1410}{(G5740)} understand{G1097}{(G5629)}, that{G3754} there are{G1526}{(G5748)} yet but{G2228}{G3756} twelve{G1177} days{G2250}{G4119} since{G575}{G3739} I{G3427} went up{G305}{(G5627)} to{G1722} Jerusalem{G2419} for to worship{G4352}{(G5694)}. 12 And{G2532} they neither{G3777} found{G2147}{(G5627)} me{G3165} in{G1722} the temple{G2411} disputing{G1256}{(G5740)} with{G4314} any man{G5100}, neither{G2228} raising up{G1999}{G4160}{(G5723)} the people{G3793}{G1999}, neither{G3777} in{G1722} the synagogues{G4864}, nor{G3777} in{G2596} the city{G4172}: 13 Neither{G3777} can{G1410}{(G5736)} they prove{G3936}{(G5658)}{G3165} the things{G4012} whereof{G3739} they{G2723} now{G3568} accuse{G2723}{(G5719)} me{G3450}. 14 But{G1161} this{G5124} I confess{G3670}{(G5719)} unto thee{G4671}, that{G3754} after{G2596} the way{G3598} which{G3739} they call{G3004}{(G5719)} heresy{G139}, so{G3779} worship I{G3000}{(G5719)} the God{G2316} of my fathers{G3971}, believing{G4100}{(G5723)} all things{G3956} which{G3588} are written{G1125}{(G5772)} in{G2596} the law{G3551} and{G2532} in{G1722} the prophets{G4396}: 15 And have{G2192}{(G5723)} hope{G1680} toward{G1519} God{G2316}, which{G3739} they{G3778} themselves{G846} also{G2532} allow{G4327}{(G5736)}, that there shall be{G3195}{(G5721)}{G1510}{(G5705)} a resurrection{G386} of the dead{G3498}, both{G5037} of the just{G1342} and{G2532} unjust{G94}. 16 And{G1161} herein{G1722}{G5129} do I exercise{G778}{(G5719)} myself{G846}, to have{G2192}{(G5721)} always{G1275} a conscience{G4893} void of offence{G677} toward{G4314} God{G2316}, and{G2532} toward men{G444}. 17 Now{G1161} after{G1223} many{G4119} years{G2094} I came{G3854}{(G5633)} to bring{G4160}{(G5694)} alms{G1654} to{G1519} my{G3450} nation{G1484}, and{G2532} offerings{G4376}. 18 {G1161} Whereupon{G1722}{G3739} certain{G5100} Jews{G2453} from{G575} Asia{G773} found{G2147}{(G5627)} me{G3165} purified{G48}{(G5772)} in{G1722} the temple{G2411}, neither{G3756} with{G3326} multitude{G3793}, nor{G3761} with{G3326} tumult{G2351}. 19 Who{G3739} ought{G1163}{(G5748)}{(G5625)}{G1163}{(G5713)} to have been here{G3918}{(G5750)} before{G1909} thee{G4675}, and{G2532} object{G2723}{(G5721)}, if{G1536} they had{G2192}{(G5722)} ought{G1536} against{G4314} me{G3165}. 20 Or else{G2228} let{G2036} these{G846} same{G3778} here say{G2036}{(G5628)}, if{G1536} they have found{G2147}{(G5627)} any{G1536} evil doing{G92} in{G1722} me{G1698}, while I{G3450} stood{G2476}{(G5631)} before{G1909} the council{G4892}, 21 Except{G2228} it be for{G4012} this{G5026} one{G3391} voice{G5456}, that{G3739} I cried{G2896}{(G5656)} standing{G2476}{(G5761)} among{G1722} them{G846}, Touching{G3754}{G4012} the resurrection{G386} of the dead{G3498} I{G1473} am called in question{G2919}{(G5743)} by{G5259} you{G5216} this day{G4594}. 22 And{G1161} when Felix{G5344} heard{G191}{(G5660)} these things{G5023}, having more perfect{G197} knowledge{G1492}{(G5761)} of{G4012} that way{G3598}, he deferred{G306}{(G5639)} them{G846}, and said{G2036}{(G5631)}, When{G3752} Lysias{G3079} the chief captain{G5506} shall come down{G2597}{(G5632)}, I will know the uttermost{G1231}{(G5695)} of your{G5209} matter{G2596}. 23 And{G5037} he commanded{G1299}{(G5671)} a centurion{G1543} to keep{G5083}{(G5745)} Paul{G3972}, and{G5037} to let him have{G2192}{(G5721)} liberty{G425}, and{G2532} that he should forbid{G2967}{(G5721)} none{G3367} of his{G846} acquaintance{G2398} to minister{G5256}{(G5721)} or{G2228} come{G4334}{(G5738)} unto him{G846}. 24 And{G1161} after{G3326} certain{G5100} days{G2250}, when Felix{G5344} came{G3854}{(G5637)} with{G4862} his{G846} wife{G1135} Drusilla{G1409}, which was{G5607}{(G5752)} a Jewess{G2453}, he sent for{G3343}{(G5662)} Paul{G3972}, and{G2532} heard{G191}{(G5656)} him{G846} concerning{G4012} the faith{G4102} in{G1519} Christ{G5547}. 25 And{G1161} as he{G846} reasoned{G1256}{(G5740)} of{G4012} righteousness{G1343}, temperance{G2532}{G1466}, and{G2532} judgment{G2917} to come{G3195}{(G5723)}{G1510}{(G5705)}, Felix{G5344} trembled{G1096}{(G5637)}{G1719}, and answered{G611}{(G5662)}, Go thy way{G4198}{(G5737)} for this time{G3568}; when{G1161} I have{G2192}{(G5723)}{G3335}{(G5631)} a convenient season{G2540}, I will call for{G3333}{(G5698)} thee{G4571}. 26 He hoped{G1679}{(G5723)} also{G260}{G1161}{G2532} that{G3754} money{G5536} should have been given{G1325}{(G5701)} him{G846} of{G5259} Paul{G3972}, that{G3704} he might loose{G3089}{(G5661)} him{G846}: wherefore{G1352} he sent for{G3343}{(G5740)} him{G846} the oftener{G4437}, and{G2532} communed with{G3656}{(G5707)} him{G846}. 27 But{G1161} after{G4137}{(G5685)} two years{G1333} Porcius{G4201} Festus{G5347} came{G2983}{(G5627)} into Felix{G5344}' room{G1240}: and{G5037} Felix{G5344}, willing{G2309}{(G5723)} to shew{G2698}{(G5641)} the Jews{G2453} a pleasure{G5485}, left{G2641}{(G5627)} Paul{G3972} bound{G1210}{(G5772)}.
