Paul being accused by Tertullus the orator,1 ¶ Andº afterº fiveº daysº Ananiasº the² high priestº descendedºª withº the² elders,º andº [with] a certainº oratorº [named] Tertullus,º whoº informedºª the² governorº againstº Paul.º 2 Andº when heº was called forth,ºª Tertullusº beganºª to accuseºª [him], saying,ºª Seeing that byº theeº we enjoyºª greatº quietness,º andº that very worthy deedsº are doneºª unto thisº nationº byº thyº providence,º 3 ¹ We acceptºª [it]² always,º andº in all places,º most nobleº Felix,º withº allº thankfulness.º 4 Notwithstanding,º that¹ª² I be¹ª not¹¹ further¹ tediousºª²²² unto thee,º I prayºª thee¹ that thou² wouldest hearºª usº of thyº clemencyº a few words.º 5 Forº we have foundºª thisº manº [a] pestilentº [fellow], andº a moverºª of seditionº among allº the² Jewsº throughoutº the² world,º andº a ringleaderº of the² sectº of the² Nazarenes:º 6 Whoº alsoº hath gone aboutºª to profaneºª the² temple:º¹ whomº we took,ºª andº wouldºª have judgedºª accordingº to ourº law.º 7 Butº the² chief captainº Lysiasº cameºª [upon us], and withº greatº violenceº took [him] awayºª out ofº ourº hands,º 8 Commandingºª his¹² accusersº to comeºª untoº thee:º by examiningºª ofº whomº thyselfº mayestºª take knowledgeºª ofº allº these things,º whereofº weº accuseºª him.º 9 Andº the² Jewsº alsoº assented,ºª sayingºª that these thingsº wereºª so.º [1] Ps 11:2; Is 3:3; Ac 12:21; 21:27; 23:2, 30, 35; 24:11; 25:2, 15; 1Co 2:1, 4.
