1 AND after five days An-a-ni’as the high priest went down with the elders, together with Ter-tul’lus, the orator, and they informed the governor against Paul. 2 And when he was called forth, Ter-tul’lus began to accuse him, saying, It is through you that we enjoy great tranquility, and owing to your care many excellent things have been done for this people. 3 And we all, everywhere, receive your favors, O most excellent Fe’lix. 4 But while I desire not to weary you with lengthy discussions, nevertheless, I beg you to hear in brief our humble complaint. 5 We have found this man to be a pestilent fellow and a worker of sedition among the Jews throughout the world, for he is the ringleader of the sect of the Naz’a-renes. 6 He sought to defile our temple: therefore when we seized him, we would have judged him according to our law. 7 But the chief captain Lys’ias came, and by force took him away out of our hands and sent him to you, Acts 24:1-7, Lamsa Bible.
