Acts 26:5 in Context — Acts 26

3 car tu connais parfaitement leurs coutumes et leurs discussions. Je te prie donc de m’écouter avec patience.

4 Ma vie, dès les premiers temps de ma jeunesse, est connue de tous les Juifs, puisqu’elle s’est passée à Jérusalem, au milieu de ma nation.

5 Ils savent depuis longtemps, s’ils veulent le déclarer, que j’ai vécu pharisien, selon la secte la plus rigide de notre religion.

6 Et maintenant, je suis mis en jugement parce que j’espère l’accomplissement de la promesse que Dieu a faite à nos pères,

7 et à laquelle aspirent nos douze tribus, qui servent Dieu continuellement nuit et jour. C’est pour cette espérance, ô roi, que je suis accusé par des Juifs!
