23 And he summoned two of the centurions and[a] said, “Make ready from the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen,[b] in order that they may proceed as far as Caesarea. 24 And provide mounts so that they can put Paul on them and[c] bring him[d] safely to Felix the governor.” 25 He wrote[e] a letter that had this form:[f]
26 Claudius Lysias.
To his excellency Governor Felix.
Greetings!
27 This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I[g] came upon them[h] with the detachment and[i] rescued him,[j] because I[k] learned that he was a Roman citizen. 28 And because I[l] wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him[m] down to their Sanhedrin.[n] 29 I found he[o] was accused concerning controversial questions of their law, but having no charge deserving death or imprisonment. 30 And when it[p] was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent him[q] to you immediately, also ordering his[r] accusers to speak against him[s] before you.
31 Therefore the soldiers, in accordance with their orders,[t] took Paul and[u] brought him[v] to Antipatris during the night. 32 And on the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, and[w] they returned to the barracks.[x] 33 The horsemen,[y] when they[z] came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him. 34 So after[aa] reading the letter[ab] and asking what province he was from, and learning that he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, “I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers arrive also,” giving orders for him to be guarded in the praetorium[ac] of Herod.
