Acts 23:23-35

23AndG2532 heG5100 calledG4341 unto him twoG1417 centurionsG3588G1543, sayingG3004, Make readyG2090 two hundredG1250 soldiersG4757 toG3704 goG4198 toG2193 CæsareaG2542, andG2532 horsemenG2460 threescore and tenG1440, andG2532 spearmenG1187 two hundredG1250, atG575 the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the nightG3588G3571;

24AndG5037 provideG3936 them beastsG2934, thatG2443 they may setG1913 PaulG3588G3972 onG1913, and bringG1295 him safeG1295 untoG4314 FelixG5344 the governorG3588G2232.

25And he wroteG1125 a letterG1992 afterG4023 thisG3778 mannerG3588G5179:

26ClaudiusG2804 LysiasG3079 unto the most excellentG2903 governorG2232 FelixG5344 sendeth greetingG5463.

27ThisG3778 manG3588G435 was takenG4815 ofG5259 the JewsG2453, andG2532 shouldG3195 have been killedG337 ofG5259 themG846: then came IG2186 withG4862 an armyG3588G4753, and rescuedG1807 himG846, having understoodG3129 thatG3754 he wasG1510 a RomanG4514.

28AndG1161 when I wouldG1014 have knownG1097 the causeG3588G156 whereforeG3739 they accusedG1458 himG846, I broughtG2609 himG846 forthG2609 intoG1519 theirG846 councilG3588G4892:

29WhomG3739 I perceivedG2147 to be accusedG1458 ofG4012 questionsG2213 of theirG846 lawG3588G3551, butG1161 to haveG2192 nothingG3367 laid to his chargeG1462 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 of bondsG1199.

30AndG1161 when it was toldG3377 meG1473 howG5259 thatG1510 the JewsG2453 laid waitG1917 forG1519 the manG3588G435, I sentG3992 straightwayG1824 toG4314 theeG4771, and gave commandmentG3853 to his accusersG3588G2725 alsoG2532 to sayG3004 beforeG1909 theeG4771 whatG3588 they had againstG4314 himG846. FarewellG4517.

31ThenG3767 the soldiersG4757, asG2596 it was commandedG1299 themG846, tookG353 PaulG3588G3972, and broughtG71 him byG1223 nightG3588G3571 toG1519 AntipatrisG3588G494.

32OnG1161 the morrowG1887 they leftG1439 the horsemenG3588G2460 to goG4198 withG4862 himG846, and returnedG5290 toG1519 the castleG3588G3925:

33WhoG3748, when they cameG1525 toG1519 CæsareaG3588G2542, andG2532 deliveredG325 the epistleG3588G1992 to the governorG3588G2232, presentedG3936 PaulG3588G3972 alsoG2532 before himG846.

34AndG2532 whenG1161 the governorG3588G2232 had readG314 the letter, he askedG1905 ofG1537 whatG4169 provinceG1885 he wasG1510. AndG2532 when he understoodG4441 thatG3754 he was ofG575 CiliciaG2791;

35I will hearG1251 theeG4771, said heG5346, whenG3752 thineG4771 accusersG3588G2725 are alsoG2532 comeG3854. AndG5037 he commandedG2753 himG846 to be keptG5442 inG1722 Herod’sG3588G2264 judgment hallG3588G4232.
