24. Get some horses for Paul to ride so he can 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. Some of the Jews had taken this man and 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 these people said Paul did some things that were wrong by their own laws, but no charge was worthy of jail or death.
30. When I was told that some of them were planning to kill Paul, I sent him to you at once. I also told them to tell you what they have against him.
31. So the soldiers did what they were told and took Paul and brought him to the city of Antipatris that night.
