Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Paul Is Accused Before Felix The Roman Governor By The High Priest And Others

24 And after five days, the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney^[a], a certain Tertullus— who^[b] brought-charges against Paul to the governor. ² And he^[c] having been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Attaining much^[d] peace through you, and reforms taking place for this nation through your foresight ³ both^[e] in every way and everywhere— we welcome it, most-excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But in order that I may not hinder you further, I beg you to hear us briefly, by your kindness. ⁵ For having found this man to be a plague^[f], and setting-in-motion disputes^[g] among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes, ⁶ who even tried to profane^[h] the temple, whom also we seized—^{[i] 7 [j] 8} from whom you yourself, having examined him, will be able to learn about all these things of which we are accusing him”. ⁹ And the Jews also joined-in-the-attack, asserting that these things hold so.
