Whiston(i)
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying. Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night.
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring [him] safe unto Felix the governor. For he was afraid lest the Jews should seize on him, and kill him; and he should afterward bear the reproach, as if he would have taken money.
25 And he wrote a letter, containing what follows.
26 Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them; then came Iwith 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 striaghtway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also, to say before thee what [they had] against him. Farewel.
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 Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 Iwill hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment-hall.
