In context
24 Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
25 And he wrote the following letter:
26 Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
27 This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
28 and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
29 I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
30 When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
