New Century Version

Acts 23:28-35 New Century Version (NCV)

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.

32. The next day the horsemen went with Paul to Caesarea, but the other soldiers went back to the army building in Jerusalem.

33. When the horsemen came to Caesarea and gave the letter to the governor, they turned Paul over to him.

34. The governor read the letter and asked Paul, “What area are you from?” When he learned that Paul was from Cilicia,

35. he said, “I will hear your case when those who are against you come here, too.” Then the governor gave orders for Paul to be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.
