Acts 24:5

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 prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,

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.

7TR adds “but the commanding officer, Lysias, came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,”

8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
