23:25And he wrote a letter after this manner:

23:26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.

23:27This 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.

23:28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

23:29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

23:30And 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.
