26Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.
27This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.
28And, desiring to get at the reason for their attack on him, I took him down to their Sanhedrin:
29Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.
30And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you.
