22 The commander dismissed the young man and ordered him, “Tell no one that you have reported these things to me.”
23 Then he summoned two centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred infantrymen, seventy mounted soldiers, and two hundred light infantrymen with spears to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night.
24 And provide mounts so Paul may ride and take him safely to Felix the governor.”
25 He wrote a letter that went like this:
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 learned that he was a Roman citizen, I came with soldiers and rescued him.
28 Being minded to learn what crime they alleged, I took him to their Sanhedrin.
