23 Paul Moved to Caesarea23 And he called to him two of the centurions and said, “Get two hundred soldiers ready bypthe third hour of the night to proceed to Caesarea,qwith seventy horsemen and two hundredrspearmen.” 24 They were also to provide mounts to put Paul on and bring him safely to Felix the governor. 25 And he wrote a letter having this form: | |
27 “When this man was arrested by the Jews and was about to be slain by them, I came up to them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman. 28 “And wanting to ascertain the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to theirsCouncil; 29 and I found him to be accused over questions about their Law, buttunder no accusation deserving death oruimprisonment. | |
30 “When I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers tovbring charges against him before you.” | |
31 So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris. 32 But the next day, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the barracks. 33 When these had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him. 34 When he had read it, he asked from what province he was, and when he learned that he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, “I will give you a hearing after your accusers arrive also,” giving orders for him to be kept in Herod’swPraetorium. |
