Acts 23:25-30
23:25 He wrote
a letter that went like this:
23:26 Claudius Lysias to His Excellency Governor Felix, greetings.
23:27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, when I came up with the detachment and rescued him, because I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.
23:28 Since I wanted to know what charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down to their council.
23:29 I found he was accused with reference to controversial questions about their law, but no charge against him deserved death or imprisonment.
23:30 When I was informed there would be a plot against this man, I sent him to you at once, also ordering his accusers to state their charges against him before you.
