Paul Escorted to Caesarea under Guard

Acts 23:23-35

Chapter 23
23 And calling two of the centurions to him, he said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, from the third hour of the night." 24 and animals also to provide, so that, having put Paul on them, they might bring him safely to Felix the governor, 25 having written a letter with this wording: 26 Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix, greetings. 27 This man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. I rescued him, having arrived with the military force after learning that he was a Roman. 28 Wanting also to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin. 29 I found him accused over their disputes about the law, but with no charge worthy of death or chains. 30 And when a plot against the man was revealed to me as about to happen immediately, I sent him to you, also commanding the accusers to speak against him before you. 31 So then the soldiers, according to what they had been ordered, took Paul and led him by night to Antipatris. 32 On the next day, having let the horsemen go away with him, they returned to the military camp. 33 They entered Caesarea and presented the letter to the governor, and they also presented Paul to him. 34 But having read it, and having asked what province he was from, and having learned that he was from Cilicia, 35 "I will hear you," he said, "when your accusers also arrive." He commanded him to be guarded in Herod's Praetorium.
