For we have found this man a perfect pest and a distributor of the peace among the Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader in the sect of the Nazarenes;

for they have known all along from the first, if they would but testify to it, that I as a Pharisee have lived by the standard of the strictest sect of our religion.

But we think it fitting to let you tell us what your views are, for as to this sect it is known by all of us that it is everywhere denounced."
