Acts 24:2-9

Worrell(i) 2 And, he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that, through you, we enjoy great peace, and reforms accrue to this nation through your forethought, 3 in every way and everywhere; we welcome it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. 4 "But, that I detain you no longer, I pray you to hear us briefly in your clemency. 5 For, finding this man a plague, and stirring up insurrections among the Jews throughout the inhabited earth, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes; 6 who also attempted to desecrate the temple; whom also we seized.— 7 [But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come before you;] 8 from whom you will be able, after having examined him yourself, to obtain full knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him." 9 And the Jews also assented, affirming that these things were so.
