3 we accept it always and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Nevertheless, not to be tedious to you any further, I beg you to hear, by your1 courtesy, a few words from us.
5 aFor we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 aHe even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him,1 and wanted bto judge him according to our law.
7 aBut the commander Lysias came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,
8 acommanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
