25And he wrote a letter to this effect:

26Claudius Lysias, to ahis Excellency the governor Felix, bgreetings. 27 cThis man was seized by the Jews and dwas about to be killed by them ewhen I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, fhaving learned that he was a Roman citizen. 28And gdesiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their council. 29I found that he was being accused habout questions of their law, but icharged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment. 30 jAnd when it was disclosed to me kthat there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, lordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him.”
