Acts 23:26-30

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²⁶ `Claudius Lysias sends greetings to you, great ruler Felix.

²⁷ This man was caught by the Jews. They were ready to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and took him away, because I found out that he is a Roman.

²⁸ I wanted to find out what complaint they had against him, so I brought him into their court.

²⁹ I found out that their complaints were to do with their law. But he had not done anything wrong enough to die or to be put into prison.

³⁰ When I heard that the Jewish leaders were planning to catch him, I sent him to you at once. I told those who are making complaints against him that they must bring the matter to you.'
