1 Five days later the High Priest Ananias went to Caesarea with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus. They appeared before Felix and made their charges against Paul.
2 Then Paul was called in, and Tertullus began to make his accusation, as follows:“Your Excellency! Your wise leadership has brought us a long period of peace, and many necessary reforms are being made for the good of our country.
3 We welcome this everywhere and at all times, and we are deeply grateful to you.
4 I do not want to take up too much of your time, however, so I beg you to be kind and listen to our brief account.
