16AndG1161 when the sonG5207 of Paul’sG3972 sisterG79 heardG191 of their lying in waitG1749, he wentG3854 andG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the barracksG3925, and toldG518 PaulG3972. 17ThenG1161 PaulG3972 calledG4341 oneG1520 of the centurionsG1543 to him, and saidG5346, BringG520 thisG5126 young manG3494 toG4314 the chief captainG5506: forG1063 he hathG2192 a certain thingG5100 to tellG518 himG846. 18SoG3767G3303 he tookG3880 himG846, and broughtG71 him toG4314 the chief captainG5506, andG2532 saidG5346, PaulG3972 the prisonerG1198 calledG4341 meG3165 to him, and asked meG2065 to bringG71 thisG5126 young manG3494 toG4314 theeG4571, who hathG2192 somethingG5100 to sayG2980 to theeG4671. 19ThenG1161 the chief captainG5506 tookG1949 himG846 by the handG5495, andG2532 went with him asideG402 privatelyG2596G2398, and askedG4441 him, WhatG5101 isG2076 thatG3739 thou hastG2192 to tellG518 meG3427? 20AndG1161 he saidG2036, The JewsG2453 have agreedG4934 to desireG2065 theeG4571 thatG3704 thou wouldest bring downG2609 PaulG3972 to morrowG839 intoG1519 the councilG4892, asG5613 though they wouldG3195 enquireG4441 somewhatG5100 concerningG4012 himG846 more perfectlyG197. 21ButG3767 doG3982 notG3361 thouG4771 yieldG3982 to themG846: forG1063 there are ofG1537 themG846 who lie in wait forG1748 himG846 more thanG4119 fortyG5062 menG435, whoG3748 have boundG332 themselvesG1438 with an oathG332, that they willG5315 neitherG3383 eatG5315 norG3383 drinkG4095 tillG2193G3739 they have killedG337 himG846: andG2532 nowG3568 they areG1526 readyG2092, looking forG4327 a promiseG1860 fromG575 theeG4675. 22SoG3303G3767 the chief captainG5506 then letG630 the young manG3494 departG630, and chargedG3853 him, See thou tellG1583 no manG3367 thatG3754 thou hast shownG1718 these thingsG5023 toG4314 meG3165. 23AndG2532 he called toG4341 him twoG1417 centurionsG1543, sayingG2036, Make readyG2090 two hundredG1250 soldiersG4757 toG3704 goG4198 toG2193 CaesareaG2542, andG2532 seventyG1440 horsemenG2460, andG2532 spearmenG1187 two hundredG1250, atG575 the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the nightG3571; 24AndG5037 provideG3936 for them beastsG2934, thatG2443 they may setG1913 PaulG3972 onG1913, and bring him safeG1295 toG4314 FelixG5344 the governorG2232. 25And he wroteG1125 a letterG1992 afterG4023 thisG5126 mannerG5179: 26ClaudiusG2804 LysiasG3079 to the most excellentG2903 governorG2232 FelixG5344 sendeth greetingG5463. 27ThisG5126 manG435 was takenG4815 byG5259 the JewsG2453, andG2532 shouldG3195 have been killedG337 byG5259 themG846: then I cameG2186 withG4862 a body of soldiersG4753, and rescuedG1807 himG846, having understoodG3129 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a RomanG4514. 28AndG1161 whenG1014 I wouldG1014 have knownG1097 the causeG156 forG1223 whichG3739 they accusedG1458 himG846, I broughtG2609 himG846 forthG2609 intoG1519 theirG846 councilG4892: 29WhomG3739 I perceivedG2147 to be accusedG1458 ofG4012 questionsG2213 of theirG846 lawG3551, butG1161 to haveG2192 nothingG3367 laid to his chargeG1462 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 of bondsG1199. 30AndG1161 when it was toldG3377 to meG3427 thatG5259 the JewsG2453 laid waitG1917G3195 forG1519 the manG435, I sentG3992 immediatelyG1824 toG4314 theeG4571, and gave commandmentG3853 to his accusersG2725 alsoG2532 to sayG3004 beforeG1909 theeG4675 what they had againstG4314 himG846. FarewellG4517. 31ThenG3767G3303 the soldiersG4757, asG2596 it was commandedG1299 themG846, tookG353 PaulG3972, and broughtG71 him byG1223 nightG3571 toG1519 AntipatrisG494. 32On the next dayG1887 they leftG1439 the horsemenG2460 to goG4198 withG4862 himG846, and returnedG5290 toG1519 the barracksG3925: 33WhoG3748, when they cameG1525 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, andG2532 deliveredG325 the epistleG1992 to the governorG2232, presentedG3936 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 before himG846.
