Context of Acts 24:9

7But Lysias, the leader of the soldiers, came to us. He attacked us and he took Paul away from us. 8Then he told us to come and to speak to you about it.] You should ask this man some questions about what he has done. You will find out that what we say against him is true.’ The other Jews that were there also spoke against Paul. They said, ‘All these things that Tertullus has said are true.’ 10Then Felix raised his hand towards Paul to show that he should speak. So Paul said to Felix, ‘I know that you have judged the people in this region for many years. So now I am happy to tell you everything. 11I went to Jerusalem less than 12 days ago. You can check that that is true. I went there to worship God.
