Acts 23:23-35
Paul Sent to Felix

23 And he called unto [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

23:

24 And provide [them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring [him] safe unto Felix the governor.

24:

25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:

25:

26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix [sendeth] greeting.

26:

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.

27:

28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

28:

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.

29:

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.

30:

31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.

31:

32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

32:

33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

33:

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;

34:

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.

35:
