Acts 23:20-35 And he said, The Jews have agreed together to ask you, that you bring down Paul to-morrow to the Sanhedrim, as if they would inquire something more accurately concerning him.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed together to ask you, that you bring down Paul to-morrow to the Sanhedrim, as if they would inquire something more accurately concerning him. ²¹ But do not be prevailed on by them; for there are more than forty of them, that lie in ambush for him, who have bound themselves by a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and they are now ready, expecting this promise from you. ²² The commander, therefore, dismissed the young man, with a charge, Be sure you tell no man, that you have discovered these things to me. ²³ And he called too him two of the centurions, and said, Prepare two hundred soldiers, to go to Caesarea; and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen; by the third hour of the night; ²⁴ and provide beasts to set Paul upon, and conduct him in safety to Felix, the governor. ²⁵ And he wrote an epistle, the contents of which are in this copy: ²⁶ Claudius Lysias, to his excellency, Felix, the governor, sends greeting: ²⁷ This man was seized by the Jews, and had like to have been slain by them; when I came with a party of soldiers, and rescued him: and I have since learned, that he is a Roman. ²⁸ And, desiring to know the crime of which they accused him, I brought him before the Sanhedrim, ²⁹ whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but to have nothing charged upon him worthy of death, or of bonds. ³⁰ But when it was signified to me, that an ambush would be laid for the man, by the Jews, I immediately sent him to you, commanding his accusers also to declare before you, what they have against him. Farewell. ³¹ The soldiers, therefore, as it was commanded them, taking up Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris. ³² And the next day they returned to the castle, leaving the horsemen to go with him: ³³ who, entering into Caesarea, and delivering the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. ³⁴ And when he had read the letter, he asked of what province he was: and being informed that he was of Cilicia, ³⁵ I will hear you, said he, when your accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.
