Acts, 24

1. Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some of the elders and an advocate named Tertullus, and they laid information against Paul before the governor.

1. And after five days the high priest Anani'as came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertul'lus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul;

2. Paul was called, and Tertullus opened for the prosecution, 'Your Excellency, Felix, the unbroken peace we enjoy and the reforms this nation owes to your foresight

2. and when he was called, Tertul'lus began to accuse him, saying: "Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation,

3. are matters we accept, always and everywhere, with all gratitude.

3. in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude.

4. I do not want to take up too much of your time, but I urge you in your graciousness to give us a brief hearing.

4. But, to detain you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly.

5. We have found this man a perfect pest; he stirs up trouble among Jews the world over and is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect.

5. For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

6. He has even attempted to profane the Temple. We placed him under arrest.

6. He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.

7. 'I know that you have administered justice over this nation for many years, and I can therefore speak with confidence in my defence.

7.

8. If you ask him you can find out for yourself the truth of all our accusations against this man.'

8. By examining him yourself you will be able to learn from him about everything of which we accuse him."

9. The Jews supported him, asserting that these were the facts.

9. The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all this was so.

10. When the governor motioned him to speak, Paul answered:

10. And when the governor had motioned to him to speak, Paul replied: "Realizing that for many years you have been judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense.

11. As you can verify for yourself, it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem on pilgrimage,

11. As you may ascertain, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem;

12. and it is not true that they ever found me arguing with anyone or stirring up the mob, either in the Temple, in the synagogues, or about the town;

12. and they did not find me disputing with any one or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues, or in the city.

13. neither can they give you any proof of the accusations they are making against me now.

13. Neither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me.

14. 'What I do admit to you is this: it is according to the Way, which they describe as a sect, that I worship the God of my ancestors, retaining my belief in all points of the Law and in what is written in the prophets;

14. But this I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the law or written in the prophets,

15. and I hold the same hope in God as they do that there will be a resurrection of the upright and the wicked alike.

15. having a hope in God which these themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.

16. In these things, I, as much as they, do my best to keep a clear conscience at all times before God and everyone.

16. So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men.

17. 'After several years I came to bring relief-money to my nation and to make offerings;

17. Now after some years I came to bring to my nation alms and offerings.

18. it was in connection with these that they found me in the Temple; I had been purified, and there was no crowd involved, and no disturbance.

18. As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But some Jews from Asia --

19. But some Jews from Asia -- these are the ones who should have appeared before you and accused me of whatever they had against me.

19. they ought to be here before you and to make an accusation, if they have anything against me.

20. At least let those who are present say what crime they held against me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

20. Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council,

21. unless it were to do with this single claim, when I stood up among them and called out, "It is about the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today." '

21. except this one thing which I cried out while standing among them, `With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you this day.'"

22. At this, Felix, who was fairly well informed about the Way, adjourned the case, saying, 'When Lysias the tribune comes down I will give judgement about your case.'

22. But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lys'ias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case."

23. He then gave orders to the centurion that Paul should be kept under arrest but free from restriction, and that none of his own people should be prevented from seeing to his needs.

23. Then he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but should have some liberty, and that none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.

24. Some days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and gave him a hearing on the subject of faith in Christ Jesus.

24. After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil'la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus.

25. But when Paul began to treat of uprightness, self-control and the coming Judgement, Felix took fright and said, 'You may go for the present; I will send for you when I find it convenient.'

25. And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, "Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you."

26. At the same time he had hopes of receiving money from Paul, and for this reason he sent for him frequently and had talks with him.

26. At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.

27. When two years came to an end, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus and, being anxious to gain favour with the Jews, Felix left Paul in custody.

27. But when two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.

Fußnoten:

24:1-9 - Paulus wird vor Felix von seinen Feinden angeklagt, doch er reagiert ruhig und im Vertrauen auf seine Unschuld. Diese Episode veranschaulicht, wie der Glaube mit Klarheit und Mut verteidigt werden kann (siehe auch 1. Petrus 3,14-16 und Apostelgeschichte 26,1-23).

24:10-21 - Paulus verteidigt sich vor Felix und betont dessen tadelloses Verhalten sowie den Grund seiner Gefangenschaft: die Hoffnung auf die Auferstehung der Toten. Dies veranschaulicht, wie das Evangelium missverstanden werden kann (siehe auch Apostelgeschichte 26:6-8 und 1. Korinther 15:12-22).

24:22-27 - Felix zögert Paulus' Urteil hinaus und hofft auf ein Bestechungsgeld. Damit zeigt er, wie die christliche Integrität durch selbstsüchtige Motive auf die Probe gestellt werden kann (siehe auch 1. Timotheus 6:10 und Jakobus 4:4).

24:27:00 - Felix lässt Paulus zwei Jahre lang im Gefängnis und unterstreicht damit, wie wichtig Geduld und Vertrauen in Gott sind, wenn die Umstände schwierig erscheinen (siehe auch Römer 8:28 und Jakobus 5:7-8).

Verse im Zusammenhang mit Acts, 24:

Apostelgeschichte Kapitel 24 berichtet über den Prozess gegen Paulus vor Gouverneur Felix. Wie verteidigt der Apostel seinen Glauben und sein Verhalten? Dieser aufschlussreiche Text beschreibt die Anschuldigungen der jüdischen Führer, Paulus' eloquente Verteidigung und Felix' Reaktionen. Das Kapitel befasst sich mit Themen wie christlicher Integrität, der Kraft des persönlichen Zeugnisses und der Spannung zwischen Glaube und Politik. Apostelgeschichte 24 offenbart auch die Gelegenheit für Paulus, das Evangelium mit den Mächtigen zu teilen. Denken Sie mit uns über fünf Bibelstellen nach, die sich auf die wichtigen Themen dieses aufschlussreichen Kapitels beziehen.

2. Korinther 6:3: "Wir geben niemandem Anlass zum Skandal, damit unser Ministerium nicht in Misskredit gerät." - Diese Aussage von Paulus spiegelt sein Verhalten in Apostelgeschichte 24 wider, wo er sich gegen Anschuldigungen wehrt.

1. Petrus 3:15-16: "Heilige vielmehr Christus als Herrn in deinem Herzen. Seien Sie immer darauf vorbereitet, jedem zu antworten, der Sie bittet, den Grund für die Hoffnung anzugeben, die in Ihnen steckt. Tun Sie dies jedoch mit Sanftmut und Respekt und bewahren Sie ein gutes Gewissen, damit diejenigen, die böswillig gegen Ihr gutes Verhalten in Christus sprechen, sich ihrer Verleumdung schämen." - Dieser Rat von Petrus spiegelt Paulus‘ Ansatz zu seiner Verteidigung in Apostelgeschichte 24 wider.

Philipper 1:12-13: "Ich möchte, dass Sie wissen, Brüder, dass das, was mir widerfahren ist, dazu beigetragen hat, das Evangelium voranzutreiben. Dadurch wurde der gesamten Palastwache und allen anderen klar, dass ich für Christus im Gefängnis bin." - Paulus sieht auch im Gefängnis Chancen für das Evangelium, wie er es in Apostelgeschichte 24 tut.

2. Timotheus 1:3: "Ich danke Gott, dem ich wie meine Vorfahren mit reinem Gewissen diene, indem ich in meinen Gebeten Tag und Nacht an Dich denke." - Paulus bekräftigt sein reines Gewissen, genau wie er es in seiner Verteidigung in Apostelgeschichte 24 tut.

Titus 2:11-12: "Weil die Gnade Gottes erschienen ist, um alle Menschen zu retten. Es lehrt uns, Gottlosigkeit und weltlichen Leidenschaften zu entsagen und in diesem gegenwärtigen Zeitalter vernünftig, gerecht und gottesfürchtig zu leben." - Diese Passage spiegelt die Themen Gerechtigkeit und Selbstbeherrschung wider, die Paulus mit Felix in Apostelgeschichte 24 bespricht.

FAQ:

Was sagte Paulus zu seiner Verteidigung gegenüber Gouverneur Felix?

Paulus bestritt die Vorwürfe, ein Agitator zu sein, und erklärte, dass er lediglich über die Auferstehung und den Glauben an Jesus Christus predigte, was nicht gegen das Gesetz verstoße. (Apostelgeschichte 24:10-21)

Wie reagierte Felix, als er Paulos Verteidigung hörte?

Felix war beunruhigt über Paulus‘ Botschaft über Gerechtigkeit, Selbstbeherrschung und das kommende Gericht, doch er verschob seine Entscheidung und wartete auf eine günstigere Gelegenheit. (Apostelgeschichte 24:24-27)

Was geschah mit Paulus, während er in Cäsarea gefangen gehalten wurde?

Paulus verbrachte zwei Jahre unter Hausarrest unter Gouverneur Felix, ohne dass ihm ein formeller Prozess gemacht wurde, aber er bezeugte weiterhin seinen Glauben. (Apostelgeschichte 24:27)

Wie ging Staatsanwalt Felix mit der Anklage gegen Paulo um?

Um den Juden zu gefallen, verschob Felix den Prozess gegen Paulus in der Hoffnung auf ein Bestechungsgeld. Paulus verteidigte ihn jedoch weiterhin standhaft. (Apostelgeschichte 24:25-27)
