Acts 24:5-8 ▼

5 For we have found this man to be a public menace and one who instigates dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the [heretical] sect of the Nazarenes.

6 He even tried to desecrate the temple, but we took him into custody [and we intended to judge him by our Law,

7 but Lysias the commander came, and with great force took him out of our hands,

8 and ordered his accusers to come before you.] By interrogating him yourself concerning all these matters you will be able to determine [the truth about] these things with which we charge him.”
