27 This man was seized by the Jews and just upon the point of being slain by them, when I came with the army and rescued him. Having learned that he is a Roman
28 and being desirous to know the crime of which they accused him, I took him down to their Sanhedrim,
29 and found that he was accused of matters touching questions of their law, but had done nothing that deserved death or imprisonment.
30 But receiving intelligence of a plot against the man, which the Jews were in act to execute, I have sent him to thee and directed his accusers to lay before thee their charges against him. Farewell.
31 The soldiers therefore, pursuant to their orders, took Paul and conducted him that night to Antipatris
32 and on the morrow returned to the castle leaving the horse to go on with him.
33 These on their arrival at Caesarea delivered the letter to the general and presented Paul to him.
34 And when the general had read the letter, he asked him of what province he was. And being informed that he was of Cilicia,
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers are also come. And he ordered him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.
