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. And, having read it, he asked of what province he was. And, learning that he was from Cilicia, "I will hear you fully," he said, "when your accusers also arrive:" giving orders, that he should be kept under guard in Herod's palace.
