DAY 25 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYS

AC-23:14 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.

AC-23:15 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.

AC-23:16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in

wait,

he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

AC-23:17 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.

AC-23:18 So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief captain,

and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto [him], and prayed me

bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto

thee.

AC-23:19 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?

AC-23:20 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.

AC-23:21 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.

AC-23:22 So the chief captain [then] let the young man depart,

and

charged [him, See thou] tell no man that thou hast showed these

things to me.

AC-23:23 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

the night;

AC-23:24 And provide [them] beasts, that they may set Paul on,

and

bring [him] safe unto Felix the governor.

AC-23:25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:

AC-23:26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix

[sendeth] greeting.

AC-23:27 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.

AC-23:28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they

accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

AC-23:29 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.

AC-23:30 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.

AC-23:31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul,

and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.

AC-23:32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him,

and

returned to the castle:

AC-23:33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the

epistle

to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

AC-23:34 And when the governor had read [the letter], he asked

what province he was. And when he understood that [he was] of

Cilicia;

AC-23:35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also

come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

*AC-24:1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended

with

the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who

informed the governor against Paul.

AC-24:2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse

[him], saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and

that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy

providence,

AC-24:3 We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble

Felix,

with all thankfulness.

AC-24:4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto

thee, I

pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

AC-24:5 For we have found this man [a] pestilent [fellow], and a

mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a

ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

AC-24:6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we

took, and would have judged according to our law.

AC-24:7 But the chief captain Lysias came [upon us], and with

great

violence took [him] away out of our hands,

AC-24:8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining

whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof

accuse him.

AC-24:9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things

were

so.

AC-24:10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto

him

to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of

many

years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer

for

myself:
