1 Now after five days, Ananias, the chief priest, descended with some elders and an orator, a certain Tertullus, who inform the governor against Paul."
2 Now at his being called, Tertullus begins to accuse him, saying, "Happening upon much peace through you, and reforms in this nation coming to be through your providence,
3 both in every way and everywhere, we are welcoming it, most mighty Felix, with all thankfulness."
4 Now, lest I may be hindering you still more, I am entreating you to hear us concisely in your leniency."
5 For, finding this man a pestilence and stirrer of insurrections among all the Jews who are on the inhabited earth, besides a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
6 who tries to profane the sanctuary also, of whom we lay hold also,
7 - 8 from whom you yourself will, by examining him, be able to recognize all of these things concerning which we are accusing him."
9 Now the Jews also agreed, alleging these things to have been thus."
10 Besides, Paul, the governor nodding to him to speak, answered, "Being versed in the fact that for many years you are a judge in this nation, cheerfully am I defending that which concerns myself,
11 at your being able to recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
12 And they neither found me in the sanctuary arguing with anyone, or making a concourse of the throng, nor in the synagogues, nor at the city,
13 nor can they present evidence to you for that concerning which they are now accusing me.
