25. having written a letter in this form:
26. Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27. This man, having been seized by the Yehuḏim, and being about to be killed by them, I rescued, having come with the body of soldiers, having learned that he was a Roman.
28. And, desiring to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.
29. I found out that he was accused concerning questions of their Torah, but there was no charge against him deserving death or chains.
30. And when I was informed that there was to be a plot against the man by the Yehuḏim, I sent him immediately to you, having also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Be strong!
