Acts of the Apostles 24:6

In context

4But so as not to detain you further, I beg you in your fairness to hear us briefly. 5We have found this man to be a plague: he stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world, and he is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. 6He even tried to desecrate the temple, and we arrested him. 7But the commander Lysias came along and took him out of our hands with great violence, 8and from him you will be able, by examining him yourself, to learn about everything of which we accuse this man.”
