Juttah,* and Beth-shemesh. 60 And from the
territory of Benjamin they were given Gib
eon,* Geba, Alemeth, and Anathoth, each with

Benjamin, mentioned above, were assigned to
them by means of sacred lots.
66 The descendants of Kohath were given the

each with its pasturelands: 67 Shechem (a city

ACTS 26:1‑32
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak in
your defense.”
So Paul, gesturing with his hand, started his
defense: 2 “I am fortunate, King Agrippa, that
you are the one hearing my defense today
against all these accusations made by the
Jewish leaders, 3 for I know you are an expert
on all Jewish customs and controversies. Now
please listen to me patiently!
4 “As the Jew
ish leaders are well aware, I
was given a thorough Jewish training from
my earliest childhood among my own people
and in Jerusalem. 5 If they would admit it, they
know that I have been a member of the Phar
isees, the strictest sect of our religion. 6 Now I
am on trial because of my hope in the fulfill

7 In fact, that is why the twelve tribes of Israel
zealously worship God night and day, and they

rusalem. Authorized by the leading priests,
