26. Claudius Lysias. To his excellency Governor Felix. Greetings!
27. This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the detachment and rescued him, because I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
28. And because I wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
29. I found he was accused concerning controversial questions of their law, but having no charge deserving death or imprisonment.
30. And when it was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, also ordering his accusers to speak against him before you.
