24 1 And after five days the high priest Anani'as came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertul'lus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul; 24 2 and when he was called, Tertul'lus began to accuse him, saying:

"Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation, 24 3 in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. 24 4 But, to detain you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly. 24 5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. 24 6 He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him. 24 7 24 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn from him about everything of which we accuse him." 24 9 The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all this was so.
