Acts 24:5-9

5 For we have found this man a plague, ^aone who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of ^bthe sect of the Nazarenes. 6 ^cHe even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add and we would have judged him according to our law. 7But the chief captain Lysias came and with great violence took him out of our hands, 8commanding his accusers to come before you.} 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to find out from him about everything of which we accuse him.”

9 The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all these things were so.
