Acts 23:17Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”Acts 23:18So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”Acts 23:19The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”Acts 23:20He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.Acts 23:21Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”Acts 23:22So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”Acts 23:23Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.Acts 23:24Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”Acts 23:25And he wrote the following letter:Acts 23:26Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.Acts 23:27This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,Acts 23:28and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.Acts 23:29I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.Acts 23:30When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.Acts 23:31So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.Acts 23:32The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.Acts 23:33When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.Acts 23:34The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,Acts 23:35he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.Acts 25:9But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”Acts 25:11If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
