Paul » Is escorted to caesarea by a military guard
And, calling to him two of the centurions, he said, "Make ready two hundred soldiers, that they may go as far as Caesarea; and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at the third hour of the night; to provide beasts also, that, putting Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through to Felix the governor;" writing a letter after this form: read more.
"Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, Greeting: This man having been arrested by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I, going down with the army, rescued; having heard that he was a Roman. And, wishing to know clearly the cause for which they were accusing him, I led him down into their Sanhedrin; whom I found to be accused, concerning their law, but having no accusation worthy of death or of bonds. And, a plot that was about to be against the man having been discovered to me, I immediately sent him to you, charging the accusers to speak against him before you." The soldiers, therefore, according to what had been commanded them, taking up Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris; but, on the morrow, they returned to the castle, leaving the horsemen to go with him; who, indeed, coming to Caesarea, and delivering the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
