Acts 18:17

17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.

Acts 21:31-32

31 ^aAnd as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of ^bthe cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. 32 ^cHe at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

Acts 23:10

10 And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into ^dthe barracks.

Acts 23:23-35

Paul Sent to Felix the Governor

23 Then he called two of the centurions and said, “Get ready two hundred soldiers, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea at the third hour of the night. ^{▼▼That is, 9 p.m.} 24 Also provide mounts for Paul to ride and bring him safely to ^fFelix ^gthe governor.” 25 And he wrote a letter to this effect:

26 “Claudius Lysias, to ^hhis Excellency the governor Felix, ⁱgreetings. 27 ^jThis man was seized by the Jews and ^kwas about to be killed by them ^lwhen I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, ^mhaving learned that he was a Roman citizen. 28 And ⁿdesiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their council. 29 I found that he was being accused ^oabout questions of their law, but ^pcharged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment. 30 ^qAnd when it was disclosed to me ^rthat there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ^sordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him.”

31 So the soldiers, according to their instructions, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris. 32 And on the next day they returned to ^tthe barracks, letting the horsemen go on with him. 33 When they had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him. 34 On reading the letter, he asked what ^uprovince he was from. And when he learned ^vthat he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, “I will give you a hearing ^wwhen your accusers arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod’s ^xpraetorium.

1 John 3:16-17

16 By this we know love, that ^yhe laid down his life for us, and ^zwe ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But ^aaif anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet ^abcloses his heart against him, ^achow does God’s love abide in him?
