24 Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix."
25 Here is the letter the officer wrote.
26 I, Claudius Lysias, am writing this letter. I am sending it to His Excellency, Governor Felix. Greetings.
27 The Jews grabbed Paul. They were about to kill him. But I came with my soldiers and saved him. I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.
28 I wanted to know why they were bringing charges against him. So I brought him to their Sanhedrin.
29 I found out that the charge against him was based on questions about their law. But there was no charge against him worthy of death or prison.
30 Then I was told about a plan against the man. So I sent him to you at once. I also ordered those bringing charges against him to tell you their case.
