The captain of a thousand, having taken his hand, and having withdrawn in private, inquired, What is it which thou hast to announce to me? read more.
And he said, That the Jews agreed together to ask thee, so that to-morrow thou mightest bring down Paul to the council, as about to inquire something more accurately about him. Therefore thou shouldest not be persuaded by them: for more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who anathematized themselves, neither to eat or drink till they should kill him: and now are they prepared, expecting a promise from thee. Truly then the captain of a thousand discharged the young man, having enjoined him, Tell none that thou hast shown these things to me.

Having written a letter containing this type Claudius Lysias to the most excellent leader Felix, health. This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them: having stood with an army, I took him away, having learned that he is a Roman. And wishing to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him down to this council: Whom I found accused of questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or of bonds. And the plot about to be by the Jews, having been made known to me against the man, for this I sent to thee, having also commanded the accusers to say things against him to thee. Farewell. Then truly the soldiers according to that appointed them, having taken up Paul, brought by night to Antipatris.
