27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. |
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: |
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. |
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell. |
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. |
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle: |
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. |
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; |
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. |
