23 And he summoned two of the centurions and said, “Make ready from the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, in order that they may proceed as far as Caesarea.
24 And provide mounts so that they can put Paul on them and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”

27 This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the detachment and rescued him, because I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
28 And because I wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
29 I found he was accused concerning controversial questions of their law, but having no charge deserving death or imprisonment.
