Acts 23:25-30

25He wrote a letter that went like this:

26Claudius Lysias to His Excellency Governor Felix, greetings.

27This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, when I came up with the detachment and rescued him, because I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.

28Since I wanted to know what charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down to their council.

29I found he was accused with reference to controversial questions about their law, but no charge against him deserved death or imprisonment.

30When I was informed there would be a plot against this man, I sent him to you at once, also ordering his accusers to state their charges against him before you.
