44:023:032 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and
           returned to the castle: 

44:023:033 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to
           the governor, presented Paul also before him.

44:023:034 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what
           province he was.  And when he understood that he was of
           Cilicia;

44:023:035 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. 
           And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.

44:024:001 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.

44:024:002 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,

44:024:003 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with
           all thankfulness.

44:024:004 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I
           pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few
           words.

44:024:005 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: 

44:024:006 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple:  whom we took,
           and would have judged according to our law.

44:024:007 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great
           violence took him away out of our hands,

44:024:008 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee:  by examining of
           whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things,
           whereof we accuse him.

44:024:009 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

44:024:010 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: 

44:024:011 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but
           twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

44:024:012 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any
           man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues,
           nor in the city: 

44:024:013 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

44:024:014 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they
           call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all
           things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
