Claudius lysius » Sends paul to felix
And there being a great dissension, the chiliarch, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the troops to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and conduct him to the fortress. And on the following night the Lord stood by him and said, Be of good courage, for as you have testified of me at Jerusalem, so you must also testify at Rome. And when it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath, saying that they would not eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. read more.
And there were more than forty who took this oath, who came to the chief priests and elders and said, We have bound ourselves under a curse to taste nothing till we kill Paul. Now, therefore, speak to the chiliarch, with the Sanhedrim, to bring him down to you tomorrow, as if you were about to investigate his case more accurately, and we, before he comes nigh, are ready to kill him. But a son of Paul's sister hearing of this lying in wait, went and entering into the fortress told Paul. And Paul calling one of the centurions, said, Lead this young man to the chiliarch, for he has something to tell him. He therefore took him and led him to the chiliarch, and said, Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to lead this young man to you, who has something to tell you. And the chiliarch taking him by the hand and leading him aside, inquired, What is it that you have to tell me? And he said, The Jews have entered into a compact to ask you to bring down Paul to the Sanhedrim to-morrow, as if about to learn more accurately of something concerning him. But do not therefore be persuaded by them; for more than forty men of them lie in wait, who have taken an oath not to eat nor drink till they have killed him, and now they are ready, awaiting an answer from you. Then the chiliarch dismissed the young man, charging him, Tell no one that you have informed me of these things. And calling two of the centurions he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred light armed troops, after the third hour of the night. And provide animals to put Paul on, and take him safely to Felix the procurator. And he wrote a letter having this form; Claudius Lysias to the most excellent procurator Felix, greeting. I went with the soldiery and rescued this man, when he was siezed by the Jews, and about to be killed by them, having learned that he is a Roman; and wishing to know the cause for which they accuse him, I took him down to their Sanhedrim, and found him criminated in respect to questions of their law, but charged with nothing worthy of death or bonds. Being informed that a conspiracy was about to be formed against the man, I immediately sent to you, commanding also his accusers to speak before you. The soldiers therefore took Paul as they were commanded and brought him by night to Antipatris, and the next day leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the fortress. And when they came to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the procurator, they also presented Paul to him. And having read, he asked of what province he was; and learning that he was of Cilicia, I will hear you, he said, when your accusers have come; and he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
