Apostlenes gjerninger 24,2

Tertullus

1 Etter fem dager dro ypperstepresten Ananias ned til Cæsarea sammen med noen eldste og en advokat ved navn Tertullus, og de la fram anklagene mot Paulus for guvernøren.

Da Paulus ble tilkalt, begynte Tertullus sin anklage og sa til guvernøren: "Vi har hatt stor fred under deg, og din fremsynthet har ført til reformer for denne nasjonen.

3 På alle måter og overalt, mest utmerkede Felix, anerkjenner vi dette med all takknemlighet.

4 Men for ikke å trette deg ytterligere, ber jeg om at du hører oss kort, av din vennlighet.
