Acts 24:4-9 but not to trespass upon you too far, be pleas'd to hear what I have to say in brief, with your usual indulgence.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ but not to trespass upon you too far, be pleas'd to hear what I have to say in brief, with your usual indulgence. ⁵ this man is known to be a pernicious fellow that goes about the world to raise seditions among the Jews: he is the ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes, ⁶ and has attempted to prophane the temple: we secur'd him, and would have try'd him by our law: ⁷ but general Lysias interpos'd, and with open force took him out of our hands, ⁸ ordering his accusers to appear before you. if you please to interrogate him yourself, you will find the whole charge to be truly laid." ⁹ this the Jews confirm'd by declaring it was all fact.
