1 Five days later Ananias, the high priest, went to the city of Caesarea. With him were some of the Jewish elders and a lawyer named Tertullus. They had come to make charges against Paul before the governor.
2 Paul was called into the meeting, and Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: “Most Excellent Felix! Our people enjoy much peace because of you, and many wrong things in our country are being made right through your wise help.
3 We accept these things always and in every place. And we are thankful for them.
4 But I do not want to take any more of your time. I beg you to be kind and listen to our few words.
