Seeing that by thee we enjoy great equietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy eprovidence, 3 We faccept it always, and in all places, gmost noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy hclemency ia few words. 5 For we have found this man ka pestilent fellow, and la mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout mthe world, and a ringleader of the zsect of the Nazarenes: 6 Who also hath gone about nto profane the temple: whom we took, and would have ojudged according to our law. 7 pBut the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 8 qCommanding his accusers to come unto thee: by rexamining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. 9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
