Acts 23:25-35

Acts 23:25-35 CSB

He wrote the following letter:  Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.  When this man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them, I arrived with my troops and rescued him because I learned that he is a Roman citizen.  Wanting to know the charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down before their Sanhedrin. I found out that the accusations were concerning questions of their law,  and that there was no charge that merited death or imprisonment.  When I was informed that there was a plot against the man,  , I sent him to you right away. I also ordered his accusers  to state their case against him in your presence.  So the soldiers took Paul during the night and brought him to Antipatris as they were ordered. The next day, they returned to the barracks, allowing the cavalry to go on with him. When these men entered Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.  After he  read it, he asked what province he was from. When he learned he was from Cilicia,  he said, “I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers also get here.” He ordered that he be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.
