Acts 24:4-9 But, not wanting to prolong matters for you, I urge you to give consideration to this brief account of the problem we face.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ But, not wanting to prolong matters for you, I urge you to give consideration to this brief account [of the problem we face]. ⁵ We have found this man [i.e., Paul] to be extremely bothersome, and an instigator of strife among the Jews throughout the world and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. ⁶ We arrested him, for he attempted to desecrate [even] the Temple {{Some ancient manuscripts add verse ⁷ and we would have judged him according to our law but commander Lysias came and forcibly took him out of our hands}} ⁸ [and] you will be able to determine the nature of our accusations against him by questioning him yourself." ⁹ Then the Jews also joined in [making] the charge, and confirmed all the facts that were being presented.
