Acts 23:25-30

25He wrote a letter as follows:

26Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.

27This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.

28I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin.

29I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment.

30When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.
