   ¹⁶¶ If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

   ¹⁷Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;

   ¹AND after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

   ²And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

   ³We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

   ⁴Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

   ⁵For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

   ⁶Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

   ⁷But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,

   ⁸Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

   ⁹And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

   ¹⁰Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

   ¹¹Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

   ¹²And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:

   ¹³Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
