Acts 23:23-31

23And having called to [him] certainG5100 twoG1417 of the centurionsG1543, he saidG3004, PrepareG2090 twoG1417 hundredG1250 soldiersG4757 that they may goG4198 as farG2193 as CaesareaG2542, and seventyG1440 horsemenG2460, and twoG1417 hundredG1250 light-armed footmen, for the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the nightG3571.

24And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set PaulG3972 on them and carry [him] safe through to FelixG5344 the governorG2232,

25having writtenG1125 a letterG1992, couched in this form:

26ClaudiusG2804 LysiasG3079 to the mostG2903 excellentG2903 governorG2232 FelixG5344, greetingG5463.

27This manG435, having beenG1510 taken by the JewsG2453, and beingG1510 about to beG1510 killed by them, I cameG2186 up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learnedG3129 that he wasG1510 a RomanG4514.

28And desiring to knowG1921 the chargeG156 on which they accused him, I broughtG2609 him downG2609 to their councilG4892;

29whom I foundG2147 to be accused of questionsG2213 of their lawG3551, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthyG514 of deathG2288 or of bonds.

30But having received information of a plotG1917 about to beG1510 putG3992 in execution against the manG435 [by the Jews], I have immediatelyG1824 sentG3992 him to thee, commandingG3853 alsoG2532 his accusersG2725 to sayG3004 before thee the things that areG1510 against him. [Farewell.]

31The soldiersG4757 thereforeG3767, accordingG2596 to what was ordered them, tookG353 PaulG3972 and broughtG71 him by nightG3571 to Antipatris,
