27When thisG3778 manG435 was arrestedG4815 by the JewsG2453 and was aboutG3195 to be slainG337 by them, 8I cameG2186 up to them with the troopsG4753 and rescuedG1807 him, 9having learnedG3129 that he was a RomanG4514. 28And 10wantingG1014 to ascertainG1921 the chargeG156 for whichG3739 they were accusingG1458 him, I 11broughtG2609 him downG2609 to their 1213CouncilG4892; 29and I foundG2147 him to be accusedG1458 overG4012 14questionsG2213 aboutG4012 their LawG3551, but 15underG2192 16noG3367 accusationG1462 deservingG514 deathG2288 orG2228 17imprisonmentG1199.
