2 When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him. He said to Felix, “Your Excellency, through your wise leadership we have lasting peace and reforms that benefit the people.
3 We appreciate what you’ve done in every way and in every place, and we want to thank you very much.
4 I don’t want to keep you too long. Please listen to us. We will be brief.
5 We have found this man to be a troublemaker. He starts quarrels among all Jews throughout the world. He’s a ringleader of the Nazarene sect.
6 He also entered the temple courtyard in a way that violates our tradition. So we arrested him.
8 When you cross-examine him, you’ll be able to find out from him that our accusations are true.”
9 The Jews supported Tertullus’ accusations and asserted that everything Tertullus said was true.
