Acts 23:25-35
-
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
-
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
-
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
-
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
-
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
-
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
-
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
-
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
-
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
-
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
-
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
