-
The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.

He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

Paul Transferred to Caesarea
Then he called two of his centurions and ordered them, “Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at nine tonight.

So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul with them during the night and brought him as far as Antipatris.
-
Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”

So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.

The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.

When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
