27When thisG3778 manG435 was seizedG4815 by the JewsG2453 and wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 be killedG337 by them, 9I cameG2186 upG2186 to them with the troopsG4753 and rescuedG1807 him, 10after learningG3129 that he was a RomanG4514. 28And 11wantingG1014 to ascertainG1921 the basisG156 for the chargesG1458 they were bringingG1458 againstG1458 him, I 12broughtG2609 him downG2609 to their 1314CouncilG4892; 29and I foundG2147 that he was being accusedG1458 regardingG4012 15questionsG2213 in their LawG3551, but 16was 17not chargedG2192G1462 with anythingG3367 deservingG514 deathG2288 orG2228 18imprisonmentG1199.
