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}.
8
[When] you yourself examine [him] you will be able to find out from {him} about all these [things] of which we are accusing him."
9

10
And [when] the governor gestured for him to speak, Paul replied, "[Because I] know you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I defend myself cheerfully [with respect to] the things concerning myself.
11
You can ascertain that {it has not been more than} twelve days {since} I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12
And neither did they find me arguing with anyone or making a crowd develop in the temple [courts] nor in the synagogues nor throughout the city.
13
Nor can they prove [the things] to you concerning which they are now accusing me.
14
But I do confess this to you, that according to the Way (which they call a sect), so I worship the God of our fathers, believing all things [that are] in accordance with the law and that are written in the prophets,
15
having a hope in God which these [men] also themselves await: [that] there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
