Chapter 23
1
Pavao uprije pogled u Vijeće i reče: “Braćo, ja sam posve mirne savjesti živio pred Bogom sve do dana današnjega.”
2
Nato veliki svećenik Ananija naredi onima što stajahu uza nj da ga udare po ustima.
3
Onda mu Pavao reče: “Udarit će Bog tebe, zide obijeljeni! Ti li sjediš da me po Zakonu sudiš, a protuzakonito zapovijedaš da me biju?”
4
Oni što su ondje stajali rekoše nato: “Zar velikog svećenika Božjega da pogrđuješ?”
5
Pavao odvrati: “Nisam znao, braćo, da je veliki svećenik. Ta pisano je: Glavara naroda svoga ne proklinji.”
6
Pavao je znao da su oni dijelom saduceji, a dijelom farizeji pa povika u Vijeću: “Braćo, ja sam farizej, sin farizeja. Sudi mi se zbog nade, uskrsnuća mrtvih.”
7
Tek što je on to rekao, nasta razmirica između farizeja i saduceja i mnoštvo se razdijeli.
8
Jer saduceji vele da nema uskrsnuća, ni anđela, ni duha, a farizeji sve to priznaju.
9
Nasta velika graja te ustadoše neki pismoznanci farizejske stranke i zaoštre boj govoreći: “Ništa zlo ne nalazimo na tom čovjeku! A što ako mu je duh govorio, ili anđeo?”
10
Kad razmirica posta još većom, poboja se tisućnik da Pavla ne rastrgaju pa zapovjedi da vojska siđe, otme ga ispred njih i povede u vojarnu.
11
Iduće noći pristupi mu Gospodin i reče: “Hrabro samo! Jer kao što si za me svjedočio u Jeruzalemu tako treba da i u Rimu posvjedočiš!”
12
Kad osvanu dan, skovaše Židovi urotu i zakleše se da neće ni jesti ni piti dok ne ubiju Pavla.
13
Bilo je više od četrdeset onih koji su skovali tu zavjeru.
14
Oni odu k velikim svećenicima i starješinama pa reknu: “Zakletvom se zaklesmo ništa ne okusiti dok ne ubijemo Pavla.
15
Stoga vi sada zajedno s Vijećem predočite tisućniku neka vam ga dovede kao da kanite točnije razaznati njegov slučaj. A mi smo spremni pogubiti ga prije negoli se i približi.”
16
Ali sin Pavlove sestre doču za zavjeru, približi se i uđe u vojarnu dojaviti Pavlu.
17
Pavao pak pozove jednog satnika i reče mu: “Ovog mladića odvedi k tisućniku: ima mu nešto dojaviti.”
18
On ga uze, odvede k tisućniku i reče mu: “Uznik me Pavao pozva i zaiska da ovog mladića privedem k tebi; ima ti nešto reći.”
19
Tisućnik ga prihvati za ruku, povede nasamo pa ga upita: “Što mi imaš dojaviti?”
20
“Židovi su se, reče on, dogovorili da te zamole da im sutra Pavla dovedeš u Vijeće kao da se kane točnije raspitati o njemu.
21
Ne vjeruj im! U zasjedi ga čeka više od četrdeset onih koji se zakleše da neće jesti ni piti dok ga ne smaknu. Već su spremni, samo čekaju tvoju privolu.”
22
Tisućnik onda otpusti mladića i zapovjedi mu: “Nikomu ne kazuj da si mi to dojavio.”
23
Zatim dozva dva satnika i reče im: “Pripravite dvjesta vojnika, sedamdeset konjanika i dvjesta strijelaca da nakon treće noćne ure pođu u Cezareju.
24
Neka se pripravi živina na koju će se posaditi Pavao te živ i zdrav dovesti k upravitelju Feliksu.”
25
Napisa i pismo ovoga sadržaja:
26
“Klaudije Lizija vrlom upravitelju Feliksu - pozdrav!
27
Ovoga čovjeka Židovi uhvatiše i tek što ga ne smakoše kadli s vojskom pritrčah i istrgoh im ga kada doznah da je Rimljanin.
28
Htjedoh saznati za što ga okrivljuju pa ga dovedoh u njihovo Vijeće.
29
Utvrdih da ga okrivljuju za nešto prijeporno u njihovu zakonu i da nema nikakve krivnje kojom bi zaslužio smrt ili okove.
30
Kad mi pak dojaviše da su protiv njega skovali zavjeru, poslah ga k tebi, a tužitelje uputih neka se tebi obrate protiv njega.”
31
Vojnici dakle, po primljenoj naredbi uzeše Pavla i odvedoše ga noću u Antipatridu.
32
Sutradan ostave konjanike da s njime pođu dalje, a oni se vratiše u vojarnu.
33
Kad konjanici stigoše u Cezareju, uručiše upravitelju pismo i privedoše mu Pavla.
34
Pošto upravitelj pročita pismo, zapita iz koje je pokrajine. Kad sazna da je iz Cilicije:
35
“Saslušat ću te, reče, kad pristignu i tužitelji tvoji.” Onda zapovjedi čuvati ga u dvoru Herodovu.
Acts
Chapter 23
1
And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2
And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3
Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4
And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
5
Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9
And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16
And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19
Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21
But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22
So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23
And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24
And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25
And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26
Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28
And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31
Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32
On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33
Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35
I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
