JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And after five days the chief priest Ananias came down with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, who exhibited to the leader against Paul. ² And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, ³ Attaining much peace by thee, and good actions being to this nation by thy foresight altogether and everywhere, we accept, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ And that I hinder thee no more, I beseech thee to hear us concisely by thy clemency. ⁵ For having found this man a scourge, and moving sedition to all Jews in the habitable globe, and standing in the first rank of the sect of Nazarites: ⁶ And who attempted to profane the temple: whom we also seized, and wished to judge according to our law. ⁷ And Lysias the captain of a thousand, having come with much force, carried away out of our hands, ⁸ Having commanded his accusers to come to thee: by which thou thyself shalt be able, having examined, to know of all these of which we accuse him. ⁹ And the Jews also agreed, saying, these things hold so. ¹⁰ And Paul answered, the leader having nodded to him to speak, Knowing from many years thee being judge to this nation, more cheerfully do I justify things concerning myself: ¹¹ Thou being able to know that not more than twelve days are to me from which I went up, going to worship in Jerusalem. ¹² And neither in the temple found they me discussing with any, or making a revolt of the crowd, neither in synagogues, nor in the city: ¹³ Nor can they bring me forward for things they now accuse me.
