Acts 23:25-35
25And he wroteG1125 a letterG1992 1with the followingG3778 contentG5179:
26“ClaudiusG2804 LysiasG3079, to the 2mostG2903 excellentG2903 governorG2232 FelixG5344: 3GreetingsG5463.
27When thisG3778 manG435 was seizedG4815 by the JewsG2453 and wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 be killedG337 by them, 4I cameG2186 upG2186 to them with the troopsG4753 and rescuedG1807 him, 5after learningG3129 that he was a RomanG4514. 28And 6wantingG1014 to ascertainG1921 the basisG156 for the chargesG1458 they were bringingG1458 againstG1458 him, I 7broughtG2609 him downG2609 to their 89CouncilG4892; 29and I foundG2147 that he was being accusedG1458 regardingG4012 10questionsG2213 in their LawG3551, but 11was 12not chargedG2192G1462 with anythingG3367 deservingG514 deathG2288 orG2228 13imprisonmentG1199.
30When I was 14informedG3377 that there would be 15a plotG1917 againstG1519 the manG435, I sentG3992 him to you at onceG1824, alsoG2532 instructingG3853 16his accusersG2725 to 17bringG3004 chargesG3004 againstG4314 him beforeG1909 you.”
31SoG3767 the soldiersG4757, inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 their ordersG1299, tookG353 PaulG3972 and broughtG71 him by nightG3571 to AntipatrisG494. 32But on the nextG1887 dayG1887 they letG1439 18the horsemenG2460 goG565 on with him, and they returnedG5290 to 19the barracksG3925. 33When theseG3748 horsemen had comeG1525 to 20CaesareaG2542 and deliveredG325 the letterG1992 to 21the governorG2232, they alsoG2532 presentedG3936 PaulG3972 to him. 34NowG1161 when he had readG314 it, he alsoG2532 askedG1905 from whatG4169 22provinceG1885 Paul was, and when he learnedG4441 that 23he was from CiliciaG2791, 35he saidG5346, “I will giveG1251 you aG1251 hearingG1251 whenG3752 your 24accusersG2725 arriveG3854 asG2532 wellG2532,” givingG2753 ordersG2753 for 25Paul to be 26keptG5442 in Herod’sG2264 27PraetoriumG4232.
