*
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 ).
*
Then the soldiers ,
as it was commanded (
5772 )
them ,
took (
5631 )
Paul ,
and brought (
5627 )
him by night to Antipatris .
*
On the morrow they left (
5660 )
the horsemen to go (
5738 )
with him ,
and returned (
5656 )
to the castle :
*
Who ,
when they came (
5631 )
to Caesarea ,
and delivered (
5631 )
the epistle to the governor ,
presented (
5656 )
Paul also before him .
*
And when the governor had read (
5631 )
the letter ,
he asked (
5660 )
of what province he was (
5748 ).
And when he understood (
5637 )
that he was of Cilicia ;
*
I will hear (
5695 )
thee ,
said he (
5713 ),
when thine accusers are also come (
5638 ).
And he commanded (
5656 )
him to be kept (
5733 )
in Herods judgment hall .
