Governor Felix Procurator of Judea (A.D ) A freed slave

Governor Felix Immoral (married 3 times), cruel Tacitus – indulging in every kind of cruelty and lust, exercised the power of a king in the spirit of a slave.

Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came…

Governor Felix Felix agreed to hear Paul’s case when his accusers from Jerusalem arrived.

Tertullus the Lawyer Long period of peace (?) Your foresight has brought about reforms in our nation (?)

Flavius Josephus In Judea matters were constantly going from bad to worse. For the country was again infested with bands of brigands and imposters who deceived the mob.

Flavius Josephus Not a day passed, however, but that Felix captured and put to death many of these impostors and brigands. (Josephus. Antiquities )

The Charges Troublemaker Ringleader of the Nazarene sect Tried (!) to desecrate the temple

Paul’s Defense Twelve Days Ago I went up…to worship Not arguing…or stirring up a crowd No proof!

I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets…

Jesus and the Law Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17)

Jesus and the Law In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)

…and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

Paul’s Defense To bring my people gifts for the poor (no mention of the source) No crowd with me (No) disturbance Jews from Asia who ought to be here…
