Acts 24:1-9
Tertullus Prosecutes Paul

1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

1:

2 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,

2:

3 We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

3:

4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

4:

5 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:

5:

6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

6:

8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

8:

9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

9:
