Acts 24:14

14 But I confess this to you, that I worship ^{▼▼ Or “serve.”} the God of our ancestors ^{▼▼ Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”} according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law ^{▼▼ That is, the law of Moses. Paul was claiming that he legitimately worshiped the God of Israel. He was arguing that this amounted to a religious dispute rather than a political one, so that the Roman authorities need not concern themselves with it.} and that is written in the prophets.
