Acts 23:26

ClaudiusFelix

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

25 And he wrote the following letter:

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

27 This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,

28 and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
