Acts 23:30-35

30 And [when it] was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent [him] to you immediately, also ordering [his] accusers to speak against him before you.
31 Therefore the soldiers, in accordance with {their orders}, took Paul [and] brought [him] to Antipatris during the night.
32 And on the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, [and] they returned to the barracks.
33 {The horsemen}, [when they] came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
34 So [after] reading [the letter] and asking what province he was from, and learning that [he was] from Cilicia,
35 he said, "I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers arrive also," giving orders [for] him to be guarded in the praetorium of Herod.
