23:23 Paul is escorted away in the night
23 Then the commander called in two of his centurions and ordered them to prepare two-hundred soldiers to travel as far as Caesarea, supported by seventy mounted soldiers and two-hundred more with spears. They were to be ready to leave by 9pm, 24 along with a horse for Paul to ride, and were to get him safely to Governor Felix. 25 Then the commander wrote a letter ready to take:
26 “Greetings to the most excellent Governor Felix from Claudius Lysias. 27 I’m writing to you about this man who had been captured by the Jews here and they were about to kill him when I moved in with my soldiers because he is a Roman citizen. 28 I wanted to know what they were accusing him of, so I took him down to their council meeting, 29 but I discovered that it was just some detail about their Jewish law and nothing that should result in death or imprisonment. 30 Then when I learnt that they have a plot to try to ambush and kill him, I sent him immediately to you, and I’ll order his accusers to bring their case before you.”
31 So the soldiers carried out their instructions and took Paul as far as Antipatris during the night. 32 The next morning the foot soldiers returned to the barracks, leaving the mounted soldiers to take him on 33 to Caesarea, where they presented Paul to the governor along with the letter. 34 After reading the letter the governor asked Paul what province that he’s from and found out that he was from Cilicia. 35 Then he ordered Paul to be kept under guard in the prison in Herod’s palace until he would hear from him in the future once his accusers got there.
