yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
023:021 I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them
are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they
will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him;
and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving
that promise of you."
023:022 So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him.
"Do not let any one know that you have given me this information,"
he said.
023:023 Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders.
"Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea,
with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry,
starting at nine o'clock to-night."
023:024 He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on,
so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
023:025 He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
023:026 "Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor:
all good wishes.
023:027 This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on
the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops
and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was
a Roman citizen.
023:028 And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they
were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
023:029 and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions
of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which
he deserves death or imprisonment.
023:030 But now that I have received information of an intended attack
upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers
also to state before you the case they have against him."
