* And when he was called forth (5685 ), Tertullus began (5662 ) to accuse (5721 ) him , saying (5723 ), Seeing that by thee we enjoy (5723 ) great quietness , and that very worthy deeds are done (5740 ) unto this nation by thy providence , * We accept (5736 ) it always , and in all places , most noble Felix , with all thankfulness . * Notwithstanding , that I be not further tedious (5725 ) unto thee , I pray (5719 ) thee that thou wouldest hear (5658 ) us of thy clemency a few words . * For we have found (5631 ) this man a pestilent fellow , and a mover (5723 ) of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world , and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes : * Who also hath gone about (5707 ) to profane (5658 ) the temple : whom we took (5656 ), and would (5656 ) have judged (5721 ) according to our law . * But the chief captain Lysias came (5631 ) upon us , and with great violence took him away (5627 ) out of our hands , * Commanding (5660 ) his accusers to come (5738 ) unto thee : by examining (5660 ) of whom thyself mayest (5695 ) take knowledge (5629 ) of all these things , whereof we accuse (5719 ) him . * And the Jews also assented (5639 ), saying (5723 ) that these things were (5721 ) so . * Then Paul , after that the governor had beckoned (5660 ) unto him to speak (5721 ), answered (5662 ), Forasmuch as I know (5740 ) that thou hast been (5752 ) of many years a judge unto this nation , I do the more cheerfully answer (5736 ) for myself : * Because that thou mayest (5740 ) understand (5629 ), that there are (5748 ) yet but twelve days since I went up (5627 ) to Jerusalem for to worship (5694 ). * And they neither found (5627 ) me in the temple disputing (5740 ) with any man , neither raising up # (5723 ) the people , neither in the synagogues , nor in the city : * Neither can (5736 ) they prove (5658 ) the things whereof they now accuse (5719 ) me .
