Accused of Sedition (Acts 24)

       When he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation saying;  "Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight.  We accept it always and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.  "Nevertheless, not to be tedious to you any further, I beg you to hear, by your ccourtesy, a few words from us.  For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all theJews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.  He even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him, and wanted to judge him according to our law.
