After five days, the Kohen Gadol, Hananyah, came down with certain Zakenim and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Sha'ul.
2
When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much shalom, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation,
3
we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4
But, that I don't delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5
For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Yehudim throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Natzratim.
6
He even tried to profane the temple. We arrested him. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."
9
The Yehudim also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10
When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Sha'ul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
11
seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Yerushalayim.
