²⁷ This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him,^(A) but I came with my troops and rescued him,^(B) for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.^{(C) 28} I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin.^{(D) 29} I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law,^(E) but there was no charge against him^(F) that deserved death or imprisonment. ³⁰ When I was informed^(G) of a plot^(H) to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers^(I) to present to you their case against him.
