Paul Before Felix at Caesarea
1 And
1after five days the high priest
2Ananias came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertullus. They laid before
3the governor their case against Paul.
2
And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: "Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your foresight,
4most excellent Felix, reforms are being made for this nation,
3
in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude.
4
But, to detain you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly.
5
For we have found this man a plague,
5one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of
6the sect of the Nazarenes.

7He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.
