44:024:002 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him,
saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that
very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
44:024:003 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
44:024:004 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I
pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few
words.
44:024:005 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of
sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a
ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
44:024:006 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took,
and would have judged according to our law.
44:024:007 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great
violence took him away out of our hands,
44:024:008 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
44:024:009 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
44:024:010 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
44:024:011 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
