Claudius lysius » A roman military officer
And seeking to kill him, a rumor went up to the captain of a thousand of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem had been embroiled. Who having taken out of it the soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them: and they having seen the captain of a thousand and the soldiers, ceased striking Paul. Then the captain of a thousand, having drawn near, took him, and commanded to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he might be, and what he had done. read more.
And other cried what other in the crowd: and not being able to know certainly for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the camp. And when he was upon the steps, it happened, he was borne by the soldiers for the violence of the crowd. For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Take him away. And being about to be brought into the camp, Paul says to the captain of a thousand, Is it lawful for me to speak anything to thee? and he said, Hast thou knowledge in Greek? Art not thou then the Egyptian, who before these days having risen up, and having brought into the desert four thousand men of murderers? And Paul said, I am truly a man a Jew, a Tarsean of Cilicia, a citizen of no undistinguished city: and I beseech of thee to give way for me to speak to the people. And having given way, Paul standing upon the steps, shook with the hand to the people. And being much silence, he spake in the Hebrew dialect, saying,

And they vociferating, and casting garments away, and throwing a cloud of dust into the air, The captain of a thousand commanded him to be brought to the camp, having spoken to examine him by scourges; that he might know for what cause they exclaimed so against him. And as he held him before with thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful to scourge a man a Roman, and uncondemned? read more.
And the centurion having heard, having come near announced to the captain of a thousand, See what thou art about to do: for this man is a Roman. And the captain of a thousand having come near, said to him, Tell me if thou art a Roman. And he said, Yes. And the captain of a thousand answered, I obtained this citizenship for much capital. And Paul said, And I have been born. Then quickly they about to examine him withdrew from him: and the captain of a thousand was afraid, knowing that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him. And on the morrow, wishing to know the certainty that why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from bonds, and commanded the chief priests and the whole of their council to come, and having brought down Paul, he set him among them.

Who drove out this way even to death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women. As also the chief priest testifies of me, and all the council of elders: and whose letters to the brethren having received, I went to Damascus, going to bring there the bound to Jerusalem, that they might be punished. And it was to me going, and drawing near to Damascus about noon, suddenly much light from heaven flashed around me, And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice, Saul, Saul, why drivest thou me out? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarite, whom thou drivest out. And they being with me truly saw the light, and were terrified; but they heard not the voice of him speaking to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Having risen, go to Damascus; and there shall be told thee of all which has been arranged for thee to do. And when I saw not from the glory of that light, led by the hand of them being with me I came to Damascus. And a certain Ananias, a religious man according to the law, testified of by all the Jews dwelling, Having come to me, and stood, said to me, Brother Saul, look up. And the same hour I looked up to him. And he said, The God of our fathers took thee in hand, to know his will, and to see the Just, and hear the voice from his mouth. For thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and hast heard. And now what art thou about to do having risen, be immersed and wash away thy sins, having called upon the name of the Lord. And it was to me returning to Jerusalem, and praying in the temple, I was in a deep trance: And saw him saying to me, Hasten, and come quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony of me. And I said, Lord, these know that I was imprisoning and skinning in the synagogues them believing on thee: And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself was standing by, and assenting to his murder, and watching the garments of them murdering him. And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee far off to the nations.

Prisoners » Paul
And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers, And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews, And they announce customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor do, being Romans. read more.
And the crowd set together against them: and the generals having rent their garments, commanded to scourge with rods. And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood. And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, praised God: and the imprisoned heard them. And suddenly was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were let loose. And the jailor being awakened, and having seen the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the imprisoned to have fled. And Paul called with a great voice, saying, Thou shouldest do no injury to thyself; for we are all here. And having asked for a light, he rushed in, and being trembling, fell before Paul and Silas, And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all in his house. And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed out the blows; and was immersed, he and all his, immediately. And having brought them up to his house, he set a table before, and rejoiced with the entire household, having believed God. And it being day, the generals sent the bearers of the rod, saying, Loose these men. And the jailor announced these words to Paul, That the generals have sent that ye be loosed: now therefore having come out, go in peace. But Paul said to them, Having stripped us publicly not condemned, being Roman men, they cast into prison and now do they cast us out secretly? not so; but having come themselves, let them bring us out. :And the bearer of the rod announced these words to the generals: and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans. And having come they besought them, and having brought out, they entreated to come out of the city. And having come out of prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they encouraged them, and they came forth.

And when the seven days were about completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, embroiled all the crowd, and put hands upon them, Crying out, Men, Israelites, help: This is the man, teaching all, everywhere, against the people, and the law, and this place: and yet also brought the Greeks into the temple, and has polluted this holy place. (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian' whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.) read more.
