Acts 24 1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
μετα δε πεντε ημερας κατεβη ο αρχιερευς ανανιας μετα των πρεσβυτερων και ρητορος τερτυλλου τινος οιτινες ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
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,
κληθεντος δε αυτου ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλος λεγων
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
πολλης ειρηνης τυγχανοντες δια σου και κατορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια της προνοιας παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασης ευχαριστιας
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομως τη ση επιεικεια
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:
ευροντες γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασιν πασιν τοις ιουδαιοις τοις κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε της των ναζωραιων αιρεσεως
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
ος και το ιερον επειρασεν βεβηλωσαι ον και εκρατησαμεν και κατα τον ημετερον νομον ηθελησαμεν κρινειν
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
παρελθων δε λυσιας ο χιλιαρχος μετα πολλης βιας εκ των χειρων ημων απηγαγεν
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
κελευσας τους κατηγορους αυτου ερχεσθαι επι σε παρ ου δυνηση αυτος ανακρινας περι παντων τουτων επιγνωναι ων ημεις κατηγορουμεν αυτου
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
συνεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντες ταυτα ουτως εχειν
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:
απεκριθη δε ο παυλος νευσαντος αυτω του ηγεμονος λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενος ευθυμοτερον τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
