44:023:016 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he
           went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

44:023:017 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.

44:023:018 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.

44:023:019 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?

44:023:020 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 enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

44:023:021 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.

44:023:022 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.

44:023:023 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;

44:023:024 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring
           him safe unto Felix the governor.

44:023:025 And he wrote a letter after this manner: 

44:023:026 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth
           greeting.

44:023:027 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.

44:023:028 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused
           him, I brought him forth into their council: 

44:023:029 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.

44:023:030 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.

44:023:031 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and
           brought him by night to Antipatris.
