Paul Before Felix at Caesarea Maritima
1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney, a certain Tertullus, all of whom brought charges against Paul to the governor.
2
And [when] he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, "We have experienced much peace through you, and reforms are taking place in this nation through your foresight.
3
Both in every [way] and everywhere we acknowledge [this], most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
4
But so that I may not impose on you for longer, I implore you to hear us briefly with your [customary] graciousness.
5
For we have found this man [to be] a public menace and one who causes riots among all the Jews throughout the Roman Empire and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
6
who even attempted to desecrate the temple, and we arrested {him}.
