24. Get some horses for Paul to ride. He must be taken to Governor Felix safely.”
25. And he wrote a letter that said:
26. From Claudius Lysias.To the Most Excellent Governor Felix:Greetings.
27. The Jews had taken this man, and they planned to kill him. But I learned that he is a Roman citizen, so I went with my soldiers and saved him.
28. I wanted to know why they were accusing him. So I brought him before their council meeting.
29. I learned that the Jews said Paul did some things that were wrong. But these charges were about their own laws. And no charge was worthy of jail or death.
30. I was told that some of the Jews were planning to kill Paul. So I sent him to you at once. I also told those Jews to tell you what they have against him.
31. So the soldiers did what they were told. They took Paul and brought him to the city of Antipatris that night.
