That I not hinder you more, I request that you to hear us briefly in fairness. We have found this man to be a troublemaker who stirs up sedition (resists lawful authority) among all the Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. He even tried to desecrate the temple. So we captured him according to our law. But the Roman commander Lysias came to us with the use of force and snatched him from our hands. He commanded his accusers to come to you. Examine him yourself and you will learn the truth about these charges we bring against him. The Jews also joined in accusing him, saying that these things were true.
