You make peace.” 3 Tertullus said, “We thank you, judge. We are glad.” 4 Tertullus said, “Please listen a little. I will be quick.” ⏱️ 5 Tertullus said, “This man Paul makes big trouble in many places. He leads the group who follow Jesus of Nazareth.” 6 Tertullus said, “Paul tried to make the Temple bad. We grabbed him.” ⛪✋ 8 Tertullus said, “You can ask Paul. You will see we say true.” ❓✅ 9 The other Jews said, “Yes. It is true.” ️ 10 Paul spoke. He said, “Judge Felix, you have been judge a long time. I am glad to talk.” ⚖️ 11 Paul said, “I came to pray in Jerusalem only twelve days ago.” ️ 12 Paul said, “They did not see me make a fight or a big crowd. Not in the Temple. Not in the town.” 13 Paul said, “They cannot prove the bad things they say.” ❌ 14 Paul said, “I do follow the Way of Jesus. I pray to God. I believe God’s book.” ✝️ 15 Paul said, “I hope in God. God will wake the dead, good and bad.” ️⚖️ 16 Paul said, “I try to have a clean heart. I do right to God and to people.” 17 Paul said, “After some years, I came to bring gifts and money to help my people. I gave to God.” 18 Paul said, “I was clean in the Temple. No crowd. No trouble. Some men from far away saw me.” ⛪ 19 Paul said, “Those men should be here to talk if I did wrong.” ️ 20 Paul said, “Ask these men if I did wrong, except for one thing.” ❓⚖️ 21 Paul said, “I cried out, ‘God will wake the dead!’ That is why I am here.” 22 Felix knew a bit about the Way.
