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.
31So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.
