FelixPaul
Protection and safety

22 So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”

23 Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.

Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”

25 And he wrote the following letter:

26 Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
