Living_Oracles(i)
1 And, after five days, the high, Ananias, came down, with the elders, and a certain orator, named Tertullus: and they made their appearance before the governor, against Paul.
2 And he being called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, As we enjoy great peace by your means, and as illustrious deeds are happily done to this nation, by your prudent administration;
3 we accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 But, that I may not further trouble you, I beseech you to hear us briefly, with your usual candor.
5 for we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world; and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 who has attempted to profane the temple; and whom we apprehended, and would have judged according to our law;
7 but Lysias, the commander, coming upon us with a great force, took him away out of our hands,
8 commanding his accusers to come to you; by which means, you may yourself, on examination, know the certainty of all these things, of which we accuse him.
9 And the Jews also gave their assent, saying, that these things were so.
