“For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:”
Acts 24:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 24:5
Tertullus's three accusations - pestilent fellow, mover of sedition, ringleader of Nazarenes - were calculated to alarm Roman authorities. Calling Christianity a 'sect' (Greek 'hairesis,' heresy) and Paul its ringleader painted him as politically dangerous. The charge of sedition 'among all the Jews throughout the world' was utterly false but strategically crafted to threaten Roman interests in maintaining peace.
