Acts 24:6 In-Context

4 I do not want to take up too much of your time, however, so I beg you to be kind and listen to our brief account.
5 We found this man to be a dangerous nuisance; he starts riots among Jews all over the world and is a leader of the party of the Nazarenes.
6 He also tried to defile the Temple, and we arrested him.
8 If you question this man, you yourself will be able to learn from him all the things that we are accusing him of."
