Acts 23:23-35

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, 32and on the morrow, having left the horsemenG2460 to goG565 with him, returnedG5290 to the fortress. 33And these, having enteredG1525 into CaesareaG2542, and given up the letterG1992 to the governorG2232, presentedG3936 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 to him. 34And having readG314 [it], and askedG1905 of what eparchy he wasG1510, and learned that [he wasG1510] of CiliciaG2791, 35he saidG5346, I will hear thee fully whenG3752 thine accusersG2725 alsoG2532 are arrived. And he commandedG2753 him to be keptG5442 in Herod's praetoriumG4232.
