Paul Sent to Governor Felix

Acts 23:23-30

Then he summoned two of the captains and said, “Get two hundred infantry soldiers ready to leave for Caesarea at nine o’clock tonight, and seventy mounted cavalry and two hundred spearmen;

also provide replacements for Sha’ul’s horse when it gets tired; and bring him through safely to Felix the governor.”

And the commander wrote the following letter:

From: Claudius Lysias To: His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings!

This man was seized by the Judeans and was about to be killed by them, when I came on the scene with my troops and rescued him. After learning that he was a Roman citizen,

I wanted to understand exactly what they were charging him with; so I brought him down to their “Sanhedrin.”

I found that he was charged in connection with questions of their “Torah” but that there was no charge deserving death or prison.

But when I was informed of a plot against the man, I immediately sent him to you and also ordered his accusers to state their case against him before you.
