24 Provide mounts for Paul to ride and give him safe conduct to Felix the governor.”
25 Then he wrote a letter with this content:
26 “Claudius Lysias to his excellency the governor Felix, greetings.
27 This man, seized by the Jews and about to be murdered by them, I rescued after intervening with my troops when I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
28 I wanted to learn the reason for their accusations against him so I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
29 I discovered that he was accused in matters of controversial questions of their law and not of any charge deserving death or imprisonment.
30 Since it was brought to my attention that there will be a plot against the man, I am sending him to you at once, and have also notified his accusers to state (their case) against him before you.”
