Acts 23:31

PaulAntipatris

29 I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.

30 When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.

So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.

32 The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.

33 When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
