Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Acts 23
²⁶ Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
²⁷ This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
²⁸ And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
²⁹ Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
³⁰ And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
³¹ Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
³² On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
³³ Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
³⁴ And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
³⁵ I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
Acts 24
¹ And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
