Acts 24:2-9

RKJNT(i) 2 And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that because of you we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy reforms are done for this nation by your provision, 3 We accept this always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 4 But, that I may not be further tedious to you, I ask that by your clemency you would hear a few words from us. 5 For we have found this man to be a pestilent fellow, and a agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. 6 He has also tried to profane the temple: but we seized him, [and would have judged him according to our law. 7 But Lysias the commander came upon us, and with great violence took him out of our hands, 8 Commanding his accusers to come to you.] By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth of all these things of which we accuse him. 9 And the Jews agreed with the accusation, saying that these things were so.
