11Then athey secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13and they bset up false cwitnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against dthis holy place and the law, 14for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth ewill destroy this place and will fchange gthe customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face hwas like the face of an angel.Acts 24:1-9
Paul Before Felix at Caesarea
1And iafter five days the high priest jAnanias came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertullus. They laid before kthe governor their case against Paul. 2And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:“Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your foresight, lmost excellent Felix, reforms are being made for this nation, 3in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. 4But, to detain ▼
▼Or weary
you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly. 5For we have found this man a plague, none who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of othe sect of the Nazarenes. 6 pHe 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.
8By examining him yourself you will be able to find out from him about everything of which we accuse him.” 9The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all these things were so.
Acts 24:13
13 rNeither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me.
