25. having written a letter, couched in this form:
26. Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
27. This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out of their hands, having learned that he was a Roman.
28. And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
29. whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him making him worthy of death or of bonds.
