Acts 23:28-33 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

28. I wanted to know why they were bringing charges against him. So I brought him to their Sanhedrin.

29. I found out that the charge against him was based on questions about their law. But there was no charge against him worthy of death or prison.

30. Then I was told about a plan against the man. So I sent him to you at once. I also ordered those bringing charges against him to tell you their case.

31. The soldiers followed their orders. During the night they took Paul with them. They brought him as far as Antipatris.

32. The next day they let the horsemen go on with him. The soldiers returned to the fort.

33. The horsemen arrived in Caesarea. They gave the letter to the governor. Then they handed Paul over to him.
