1 And after five days, Ananias the chief priest came down with the elders and a certain orator, Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:
3 Since through you we enjoy great quietness, and since whatever has been undertaken for this nation has been conducted to a successful issue by your foresight at all times and in all places, we accept it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 But that I may not detain you longer, I beseech you to hear us, in your clemency, a few words.
5 For we have found this man a pest and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 He also attempted to profane the temple; and we took him, and wished to judge him according to our law.
7 But Lysias the officer came, and, with much violence, took him out of our hands,
8 and commanded his accusers to come before you. From him you may be able yourself, by examination, to gain a knowledge of all these tilings of which we accuse him.
9 And the Jews united in accusing him, saying that these things were so.
