The Accusations Against Paul
24:1 After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought formal charges against Paul to the governor.
24:2 When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “We have experienced a lengthy time of peace through your rule, and reforms are being made in this nation through your foresight.
24:3 Most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this everywhere and in every way with all gratitude.
24:4 But so that I may not delay you any further, I beg you to hear us briefly with your customary graciousness.
24:5 For we have found this man to be a troublemaker, one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
24:6 He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we arrested him.

24:11 As you can verify for yourself, not more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
24:12 They did not find me arguing with anyone or stirring up a crowd in the temple courts or in the synagogues or throughout the city,
24:13 nor can they prove to you the things they are accusing me of doing.
