We are ready to kill him before he gets here. 16 But the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, so he went to the barracks and reported it to Paul. 17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, 'Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him.' 18 So the centurion took him, led him to the commander, and said, 'The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.' 19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked him privately, 'What is it you have to tell me?' 20 He said, 'The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they are going to inquire more thoroughly about him.' 21 But do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty of them are lying in wait for him. They have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready and waiting for your consent. 22 So the commander dismissed the young man and ordered him, 'Don’t tell anyone that you have informed me about this.' 23 Then he called two of the centurions and said, 'Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, along with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, by nine o’clock tonight.' 24 Also provide mounts for Paul to ride so that he may be taken safely to Felix, the governor. 25 He wrote a letter containing the following: 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. I came with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman citizen. 28 Wanting to know the exact charge they were bringing against him, I brought him down to their council. 29 I found that he was accused concerning matters of their law but had no charge against him deserving death or imprisonment. 30 When I was informed of a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately and also instructed his accusers to state their case against him before you. Farewell. 31 So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris. 32 The next day, they allowed the horsemen to proceed with him, while they returned to the barracks. 33 When they arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him. 34 After reading the letter, the governor asked which province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, 'I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.' Then he ordered him to be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.
