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 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.

Claudius lysius » Sends paul to felix
And there being much dissension, the captain of a thousand, having dreaded lest Paul be torn asunder by them, commanded the army, having gone down, to snatch him from the midst of them, and bring into the camp. And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Take courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou also testify at Rome. And it being day, certain of the Jews having made a condition, anathematized themselves, saying, neither to eat or drink till they kill Paul. read more.
And there were more than forty having made this conspiracy. Who having come to the chief priests and elders, said, By an anathema, we anathematized ourselves, to taste of nothing till we kill Paul. Now therefore do ye exhibit to the captain of a thousand, with the council, so that to-morrow he might bring him down to you, as about to examine more accurately the things concerning him: and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him. And Paul's sister's son having heard of the ambuscade, having approached, and come into the camp, announced to Paul. And Paul having called one of the centurions, said, Bring this young man to the captain of a thousand; for he has something to announce to him. Then truly having taken him, he brought to the captain of a thousand, and says, Paul, the bound, having called me, asked to bring this young man to thee, having something to say to thee. 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? 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. And having called two certain of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers, so that they go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred having held spears in the right hand, at the third hour of the night; And to bring forward cattle to set Paul upon, that they might carry through safely to Felix the leader. 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. And the morrow; having suffered the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the camp: Who having come into Cesarea and given up the letter to the leader, they also placed Paul before him. And the leader having read, and asked of what province he is, and having understood from Cilicia; I will hearken to thee, he said, when also thine accusers should be present. And he commanded him to be watched in Herod's pretorium.
