23於是，千夫長召來兩名百夫長，吩咐道：「預備二百名步兵、七十名騎兵、二百名長槍手，今晚九時出發去凱撒利亞。24要給保羅預備坐騎，護送他安全抵達腓利斯總督那裡。」25千夫長寫了公文給腓利斯總督，內容如下：26「克勞狄·呂西亞敬問腓利斯總督大人安。27這人被猶太人抓住，險些被他們殺害。我得知他是羅馬公民，便帶兵去救了他。28為了弄清楚他們控告他的緣由，我押他到猶太人的公會受審，29發現他被控告與他們的律法有關，他並沒有犯該被監禁或處死的罪。30我得知有人準備暗殺他，便立即護送他到你那裡，並通知他的控告者去你那裡告他。」31軍兵奉命行事，連夜護送保羅到安提帕底。32第二天，由騎兵繼續護送，其餘軍兵返回軍營。33他們到了凱撒利亞，將公文呈交總督，把保羅交給他。34總督看過公文，便問保羅是哪省的人，得知保羅是基利迦人，就說：35「等告你的人來了，我會審理你的案子。」於是下令把保羅關在希律的王府裡。
English Standard Version
1And looking intently at the council, Paul said, “Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.”2And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.3Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?”4Those who stood by said, “Would you revile God’s high priest?”5And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”6Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”7And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.9Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ party stood up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?”10And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.11The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.”
A Plot to Kill Paul
12When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.13There were more than forty who made this conspiracy.14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.15Now therefore you, along with the council, give notice to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”16Now the son of Paul’s sister heard of their ambush, so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.17Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the tribune, for he has something to tell him.”18So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said, “Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you.”19The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”20And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him.21But do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him, who have bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for your consent.”22So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, “Tell no one that you have informed me of these things.”
Paul Sent to Felix the Governor
23Then he called two of the centurions and said, “Get ready two hundred soldiers, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea at the third hour of the night.*24Also provide mounts for Paul to ride and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”25And he wrote a letter to this effect:26“Claudius Lysias, to his Excellency the governor Felix, greetings.27This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.28And desiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their council.29I found that he was being accused about questions of their law, but charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.30And when it was disclosed to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him.”31So the soldiers, according to their instructions, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.32And on the next day they returned to the barracks, letting the horsemen go on with him.33When they had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.34On reading the letter, he asked what province he was from. And when he learned that he was from Cilicia,35he said, “I will give you a hearing when your accusers arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod’s praetorium.
