Accused of Sedition

1 Now after afive days bAnanias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul.  
2 And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: “Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and1 prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight,  
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.”  
9 And the Jews also1 assented, maintaining that these things were so.  

The Defense Before Felix

10 Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: “Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,
11 because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem ato worship.
