Claudius Lysias to the eminent governor Felix, greeting. This man who was seized by the Jews, and was going to be killed by them, having stood by with the soldiers, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman. And wanting to know for what reason they accused him, I brought him down to their council, whom I found accusing about issues of their law, having not one accusation worthy of death or of bonds. And when it was reported to me of a plot going to be against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, also having commanded the accusers to speak before thee the things against him. Be strong. Indeed therefore, the soldiers, according to that which was precisely arranged for them, having taken Paul, they brought him through the night to Antipatris. But on the morrow they returned to the fort, having allowed the horsemen to depart with him, who, after coming to Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him. And the governor having read it, and having questioned from what province he was, and having found out that he was from Cilicia, he said, I will hear thee when thine accusers also will arrive. And he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
