them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by
you.

Jesus.

come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but
when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.
24:26. Hoping also withal that money should be given him by Paul: for
which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.

himself would very shortly depart thither.
