24 And provide mounts so that they can put Paul on them and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”
25 He wrote a letter that had this form:
26 Claudius Lysias. To his excellency Governor Felix. Greetings!
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.
30 And when it was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, also ordering his accusers to speak against him before you.
