lont@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and had like to have been slain by them; when I came with a party of soldiers, and rescued him: and I have since learned, that he is a Roman.

lont@Acts:23:29 @ whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but to have nothing charged upon him worthy of death, or of bonds.
