Acts 23:23-35

Etheridge(i) 23 And he called two centurions, and said to them, Go, prepare two hundred Romans to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen and right-handed spearmen two hundred, to go forth at the third hour of the night; 24 but provide also a beast to carry Paulos, and escape to Felix the governor. [Verse 25 is wanting.] 25 And he wrote a letter, and gave it to them, which was thus: 26 Klaudios Lusios unto Felix the victorious governor, peace. 27 The Jihudoyee had seized this man to kill him; and I arose with the Romans and rescued him, when I had learned that he is a Roman. 28 And when I sought to know the occasion of which they accused him, I brought him down to their synagogue. 29 And I found that concerning questions of their law they accused him; and a cause worthy of bonds or of death was not in him. 30 And when it was told me of the treachery of a plot which the Jihudoyee wrought against him, I straightway sent him to thee; and I have commanded his accusers to come and speak with him before thee. Farewell. 31 Then the Rumoyee, as they had been commanded, took Paulos by night, and brought him to Antipatros the city; 32 and the day after the horsemen sent away their foot-companions to return to the fortress. 33 And they came to Cesarea. And they gave the letter to the governor, and made Paulos stand before him. 34 And when he had read the letter, he asked him from what province he was. And when he had heard that (he was) from Cilicia, 35 he said to him, I will hear thee when thy accusers have come. And he commanded that they should keep him in the pretorium of Herodes.
