Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And being called, Tartelos came forth to accuse him, and said, For many years have we dwelt (in peace) through thee, and many reformations have been made for this people in the bearing of thy office; ³ and all we in every place receive thy bounty, victorious Felix. ⁴ But, not to weary thee with many (words), I pray thee to hear our humbleness with brevity. ⁵ For we have found this man to be a destroyer, and an exciter of agitation among all the Jihudoyee, and in all the land: for he is a chief of the doctrine of the Natsroyee, ⁶ and he willed to pollute our temple; and having apprehended him, we sought to judge him according to our law; ⁷ but Lusios the tribune came, and with great force transferred him from our hands, and hath sent him unto thee, ⁸ and commanded his accusers to come to thee; and thou canst by questioning him learn from him concerning all these things of which we accuse him. ⁹ The Jihudoyee themselves also contended against him, saying, that so these things were. ¹⁰ And the governor signed to Paulos to speak. And Paulos answered, and said, For many years I know that thou hast been the judge of this people, and on this account I joyfully make defence for myself; ¹¹ while thou shouldst know that it hath not been more than twelve days since I went up to Urishlem to worship. ¹² Neither found they me speaking with any man in the temple, neither have I gathered an assembly in their synagogue nor in the city; ¹³ nor is it in their power to demonstrate before thee any thing of what they accuse me.
