Acts 23:28

And when I would have known the cause
Or crime, he was guilty of:

wherefore they accused him:

I brought him forth into their council;
their court of judicature, the great sanhedrim.

Acts 23:28 In-Context

26 Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

27 When this man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them, I arrived with my troops and rescued him because I learned that he is a Roman citizen.

28 Wanting to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down before their Sanhedrin.

29 I found out that the accusations were about disputed matters in their law, and that there was no charge that merited death or chains.

30 When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you right away. I also ordered his accusers to state their case against him in your presence.
