(Act 24:2) And 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,
(Act 24:3) We accept {it} always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
(Act 24:4) Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
(Act 24:5) For 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:
(Act 24:6) Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
(Act 24:7) But the chief captain Lysias came {upon us}, and with great violence took {him} away out of our hands,
(Act 24:8) Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
(Act 24:9) And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
(Act 24:10) Then 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:
(Act 24:11) Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
(Act 24:12) And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
(Act 24:13) Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
(Act 24:14) But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
(Act 24:15) And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
(Act 24:16) And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and {toward} men.
(Act 24:17) Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
(Act 24:18) Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
(Act 24:19) Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
(Act 24:20) Or else let these same {here} say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
(Act 24:21) Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
(Act 24:22) And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of {that} way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

(Act 24:24) And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
(Act 24:25) And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
(Act 24:26) He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
