look_v when_o paul_n be_v accuse_v the_o roman_a governor_n lysias_n felix_n and_o festus_n have_v a_o conscience_n of_o the_o innocence_n of_o paul_n but_o the_o high_a priest_n persecute_v he_o to_o

according_a to_o this_o law_n they_o affirm_v he_o worthy_a of_o death_n so_o brethren_n what_o ever_o pilate_n can_v do_v or_o say_v to_o mitigate_v and_o to_o assuage_v their_o malice_n speak_v
