28 "And ⁶wanting to ascertain the charge for which they were accusing him, I ⁷brought him down to their ⁸Council;

29 and I found him to be accused over ⁹questions about their Law, but under ¹⁰no accusation deserving death or imprisonment.

30 "When I was ¹¹informed that there would be ¹²a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing ¹³his accusers to bring charges against him before you."

33 When these had come to ¹⁶Caesarea and delivered the letter to ¹⁷the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

34 When he had read it, he asked from what ¹⁸province he was, and when he learned that ¹⁹he was from Cilicia,
