24. and provide beasts, on which to place Sha’ul, and bring him safely to Felix the governor,”
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!
31. So the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Sha’ul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
