1. And after five days came down the high priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator called Tertullus, and laid their informations against Paul before the governor.
2. And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, Seeing we enjoy great peace through thee, and that excellent measures are executed for this nation by thy forethought,
3. we receive it always and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4. But that I may not too much intrude on thy time, I beseech thee to hear us briefly in thy kindness.
5. For finding this man a pest, and moving sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazaraeans;
6. who also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, and would have judged according to our law;
7. but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took him away with great force out of our hands,
8. having commanded his accusers to come to thee;
9. And the Jews also joined in pressing the matter against Paul, saying that these things were so.
