Acts 24:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ This is why I always try to do what I believe is right before God and people.

¹⁷ “After being away from Jerusalem for several years, I went back to bring money to my people and to offer sacrifices. ¹⁸ I was doing this when they found me in the Temple. I had finished the cleansing ceremony and had not made any trouble; no people were gathering around me.
