- 1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
- 2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation,
- 3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
- 4But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
- 5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
- 6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
