2 So Paul was called in. Tertullus began to bring the charges against Paul. He said to Felix, "We have enjoyed a long time of peace while you have been ruling. You are a wise leader. You have made this a better nation.
3 Most excellent Felix, we gladly admit this everywhere and in every way. And we are very thankful.
4 I don't want to bother you. But would you be kind enough to listen to us for a short time?
5 "We have found that Paul is a troublemaker. He stirs up trouble among Jews all over the world. He is a leader of those who follow Jesus of Nazareth.
6-7 He even tried to pollute our temple. So we arrested him.
8 Question him yourself. Then you will learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him."
9 The Jews said the same thing. They agreed that the charges were true.
