23 Then the commander called two officers and said, “I need some men to go to Caesarea. Get two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred men with spears ready to leave at nine o’clock tonight.
24 Get some horses for Paul to ride so he can be taken to Governor Felix safely.”
25 And he wrote a letter that said:
26 From Claudius Lysias.To the Most Excellent Governor Felix:Greetings.
27 Some of the Jews had taken this man and planned to kill him. But I learned that he is a Roman citizen, so I went with my soldiers and saved him.
28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him before their council meeting.
29 I learned that these people said Paul did some things that were wrong by their own laws, but no charge was worthy of jail or death.
