* But do not thou yield (5686 ) unto them : for there lie in wait for (5719 ) him of them more than forty men , which have bound themselves with an oath (5656 ), that they will neither eat (5629 ) nor drink (5629 ) till they have killed (5661 ) him : and now are they (5748 ) ready , looking for (5740 ) a promise from thee . * So the chief captain then let the young man depart (5656 ), and charged (5660 ) him , See thou tell (5658 ) no man that thou hast shewed (5656 ) these things to me . * And he called unto (5666 ) him two centurions , saying (5627 ), Make ready (5657 ) two hundred soldiers to go (5680 ) to Caesarea , and horsemen threescore and ten , and spearmen two hundred , at the third hour of the night ; * And provide (5658 ) them beasts , that they may set Paul on (5660 ), and bring him safe (5661 ) unto Felix the governor . * And he wrote (5660 ) a letter after (5723 ) this manner : * Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting (5721 ). * This man was taken (5685 ) of the Jews , and should (5723 ) have been killed (5745 ) of them : then came I (5631 ) with an army , and rescued (5639 ) him , having understood (5631 ) that he was (5748 ) a Roman . * And when I would (5740 ) have known (5629 ) the cause wherefore they accused (5707 ) him , I brought him forth (5627 ) into their council : * Whom I perceived (5627 ) to be accused (5746 ) of questions of their law , but to have (5723 ) nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds . * And when it was told (5685 ) me how that the Jews laid wait (5721 ) (5705 ) for the man , I sent (5656 ) straightway to thee , and gave commandment (5660 ) to his accusers also to say (5721 ) before thee what they had against him . Farewell (5770 ).
