BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And of him having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, “We are attaining great peace through you, and excellent measures are being done to this nation through your foresight. ³ Both in every way and everywhere, we gladly accept it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But in order that I should not be a hindrance you to any longer, I implore you to hear us briefly, in your kindness. ⁵ For we are having found this man a pest, and stirring insurrection among all the Jews in the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazarenes ⁶ who even attempted to profane the temple, whom also we seized. ⁷ ⁸ Having examined him yourself, you will be able to know from him concerning all these things of which we accuse him.” ⁹ And the Jews also agreed, declaring these things to be so. ¹⁰ And the governor having made a sign to him to speak, Paul answered: “Knowing you as being judge to this nation for many years, I make a defense cheerfully to the things concerning myself. ¹¹ You are able to know that there are to me not more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem. ¹² And neither did they find me reasoning with anyone or making a tumultuous gathering of a crowd in the temple, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city. ¹³ Nor are they able to prove to you concerning the things of which now they accuse me.
