Acts 24:2-8
2After 1Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began accusing him, saying to the governor,
“Since we have attained great peace through you, and since reforms are being carried out for this nation by your foresight, 3we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, 2most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. 4But, that I may not 3weary you further, I beg you 4to grant us a brief hearing, by your kindness. 5For we have found this man a public menace and one who stirs up dissensions among all the Jews throughout 5the world, and a ringleader of the 6sect of the Nazarenes. 6And he even tried to 7desecrate the temple, so indeed we arrested him.8 8By interrogating him yourself concerning all these matters, you will be able to ascertain the things of which we are accusing him.”
