Acts 23:26-30
New King James Version
26 Claudius Lysias,
To the most excellent governor Felix:
Greetings.
27 (A)This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman. 28 (B)And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council. 29 I found out that he was accused (C)concerning questions of their law, (D)but had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains. 30 And (E)when it was told me that [a]the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and (F)also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him.
Farewell.

To His Excellency,(A) Governor Felix:
Greetings.(B)
27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him,(C) but I came with my troops and rescued him,(D) for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.(E) 28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin.(F) 29 I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law,(G) but there was no charge against him(H) that deserved death or imprisonment. 30 When I was informed(I) of a plot(J) to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers(K) to present to you their case against him.
