Acts 23:28

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

wherefore they accused him:
which they charged him with, and for which they beat him almost to death:

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, greeting.

27 This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learned that he was a Roman.

28 And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;

29 whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthy of death or of bonds.

30 But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]
