1 And after five days the chief Priest Ananias came down with the Elders and one Tertullus a Rhetorician, who came before the Governor against Paul. 2 And when Paul was called forth Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that we live in great peace by means of thee, and seeing many things are restored in this nation by thy providence: 3 That allow we ever and in all places most noble Felix, with all thanks. ⟨p. 538⟩4 But least I become tedious unto thee, I pray thee hear us a little of thy courtesy. 5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of debate unto all the Jews throughout the whole world, and an author of the sect of the Nazarites. 6 Who did also go about to pollute the Temple: whom when we had taken, we would have judged him according to our Law. 7 But the chief Captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him from us. 8 Commanding his accusers to come down unto thee, of whom thou mayest, if thou wilt enquire, know the certainty of all these things, whereof we accuse him. 9 And the Jews added, saying, that these things were so.
