1. AND after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul.
2. And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence,
3. We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
4. But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words.
5. We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6. Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law.
7. But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands;
8. Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
