Acts 24:13
11 You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12 Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
14 I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
15 and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
