Acts 24:1-9

LITV(i) 1 And after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, who made a statement to the governor against Paul. 2 And Tertullus being called, he began to accuse, saying, 3 Obtaining much peace through you and excellent accomplishments having come to this nation due to your forethought, in everything and everywhere we accept with all thankfulness, most excellent Felix. 4 But that I not hinder you more, I beseech you to hear us briefly in your fairness. 5 For finding this man pestilent and moving insurrection among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the Nazarene sect; 6 who also attempted to profane the temple, whom we also seized and wished to judge according to our law; 7 but Lysias the chiliarch coming up with much force took him away out of our hands, 8 commanding his accusers to come to you, from whom you will be able yourself to know, having examined as to all these things of which we accuse him. 9 And the Jews also joined in, alleging these things to be so.
