2After Paul had been summonedG2564, TertullusG5061 beganG757 to accuseG2723 him, sayingG3004 to the governor,

“Since we have throughG1223 you attainedG5177 muchG4183 peaceG1515, and since by your providenceG4307 reformsG1357 are beingG1096 carriedG1096 out for thisG3778 nationG1484, 3we acknowledgeG588 this in everyG3839 wayG3839 and everywhereG3837, 1mostG2903 excellentG2903 FelixG5344, with allG3956 thankfulnessG2169. 4But, that I may not wearyG1465 you anyG1909 furtherG1909G4183, I begG3870 you 2to grantG191 us, by your kindnessG1932, a briefG4935 hearingG191. 5For we have foundG2147 thisG3778 manG435 a real pestG3061 and a fellow who stirsG2795 up dissensionG4714 among allG3956 the JewsG2453 throughoutG2596 3the worldG3625, and a ringleaderG4414 of the 4sectG139 of the NazarenesG3480. 6And he evenG2532 triedG3985 to 5desecrateG953 the templeG2413; and 6thenG2532 we arrestedG2902 him. [7We wantedG2309 to judgeG2919 him accordingG2596 to our own LawG3551. 7But LysiasG3079 the commanderG5506 cameG3928 alongG3928, and with muchG4183 violenceG970 tookG520 him out of our handsG5495, 8orderingG2753 his accusersG2725 to comeG2064 beforeG1909 you.] By examiningG350 him yourselfG846 concerningG4012 allG3956 theseG3778 matters you will be ableG1410 to ascertainG1921 the things of whichG3739 we accuseG2723 him.” 98The JewsG2453 alsoG2532 joinedG4902 in the attackG4902, assertingG5335 that theseG3778 thingsG3778 were soG3779.
