New Testament

Acts 24:5-11 New Century Version (NCV)

5. We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up his people everywhere in the world. He is a leader of the Nazarene group.

6. Also, he was trying to make the Temple unclean, but we stopped him. [And we wanted to judge him by our own law.

7. But the officer Lysias came and used much force to take him from us.

8. And Lysias commanded those who wanted to accuse Paul to come to you.] By asking him questions yourself, you can decide if all these things are true.”

9. The others agreed and said that all of this was true.

10. When the governor made a sign for Paul to speak, Paul said, “Governor Felix, I know you have been a judge over this nation for a long time. So I am happy to defend myself before you.

11. You can learn for yourself that I went to worship in Jerusalem only twelve days ago.
