13. Nor can they prove to you the charges of which they now accuse me.
14. But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets;
15. having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
16. In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.
17. Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings;
18. in which they found me occupied in the temple, having been purified, without any crowd or uproar. But there were some Jews from Asia-
19. who ought to have been present before you and to make accusation, if they should have anything against me.
