2 And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:
“Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your foresight, (A)most excellent Felix, reforms are being made for this nation, 3 in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. 4 But, to detain[a] you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly. 5 For we have found this man a plague, (B)one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of (C)the sect of the Nazarenes. 6 (D)He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.[b] 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to find out from him about everything of which we accuse him.”
9 The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all these things were so.
10 And when the governor had nodded to him to speak, Paul replied:
“Knowing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense. 11 You can verify that (E)it is not more than twelve days since I (F)went up (G)to worship in Jerusalem, 12 and (H)they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues or in the city. 13 (I)Neither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me.
