26 Claudius Lysias,
To the most excellent governor Felix:
Greetings.
27 (A)This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman. 28 (B)And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council. 29 I found out that he was accused (C)concerning questions of their law, (D)but had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains. 30 And (E)when it was told me that [a]the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and (F)also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him.
Farewell.

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

King James Version
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with 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 straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
