1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said,
  Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience
  before God until this day.
   2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that
  stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
   3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee,
  thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after
  the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to
  the law?
   4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's
  high priest?
   5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was
  the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not
  speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
   6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were
  Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in
  the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the
  son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of
  the dead I am called in question.
   7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension
  between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the
  multitude was divided.
   8 For the Sadducees say that there is no
  resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the
  Pharisees confess both.
   9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that
  were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove,
  saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit
  or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight
  against God.
  10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief
  captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in
  pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down,
  and to take him by force from among them, and to
  bring him into the castle.
  11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and
  said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast
  testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear
  witness also at Rome.
  12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded
  together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying
  that they would neither eat nor drink till they had
  killed Paul.
  13 And they were more than forty which had made this
  conspiracy.
  14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and
  said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse,
  that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
  15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the
  chief captain that he bring him down unto you to
  morrow, as though ye would inquire something more
  perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come
  near, are ready to kill him.
  16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying
  in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and
  told Paul.
  17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him,
  and said, Bring this young man unto the chief
  captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
  18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief
  captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto
  him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee,
  who hath something to say unto thee.
  19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and
  went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is
  that thou hast to tell me?
  20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee
  that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the
  council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him
  more perfectly.
  21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in
  wait for him of them more than forty men, which have
  bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither
  eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are
  they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
  22 So the chief captain then let the young man
  depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that
  thou hast shewed these things to me.
  23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying,
  Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea,
  and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two
  hundred, at the third hour of the night;
  24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul
  on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
  25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
  26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor
  Felix sendeth greeting.
  27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have
  been killed of them: then came I with an army, and
  rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
  28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore
  they accused him, I brought him forth into their
  council:
  29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of
  their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge
  worthy of death or of bonds.
  30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid
  wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and
  gave commandment to his accusers also to say before
  thee what they had against him. Farewell.
  31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took
  Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
  32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with
  him, and returned to the castle:
  33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the
  epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before
  him.
  34 And when the governor had read the letter, he
  asked of what province he was. And when he understood
  that he was of Cilicia;
  35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are
  also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's
  judgment hall.
