2 So Paul was sent for, and Tertullus began to impeach him as follows: "Indebted as we are," he said, "to you, most noble Felix, for the perfect peace which we enjoy, and for reforms which your wisdom has introduced to this nation, 3 in every instance and in every place we accept them with profound gratitude. 4 But--not to detain you too long--I beg you in your forbearance to listen to a brief statement from us. 5 For we have found this man Paul a source of mischief and a disturber of the peace among all the Jews throughout the Empire, and a ringleader in the heresy of the Nazarenes. 6 He even attempted to profane the Temple, but we arrested him. 8 You, however, by examining him, will yourself be able to learn the truth as to all this which we allege against him."
