Acts 24:6

4 But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.

5 We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.

8 By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
