Acts 23:23-30

New International Version

²⁶ Claudius Lysias,

To His Excellency,^(D) Governor Felix:

Greetings.^(E)

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