25 The officer wrote a letter to the governor with the following message: 26 Claudius Lysias sends greetings to Your Excellency, Governor Felix: 27 The Jews had seized this man and were going to murder him. When I found out that he was a Roman citizen, I went with my soldiers to rescue him. 28 I wanted to know what they had against him. So I took him to their Jewish council 29 and found their accusations had to do with disputes about Jewish teachings. He wasn't accused of anything for which he deserved to die or to be put into prison. 30 Since I was informed that there was a plot against this man, I immediately sent him to you. I have also ordered his accusers to state their case against him in front of you. Acts 23:25-30, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
