A Roman Escort!

200 soldier/70 horsemen/200 spearmen

40+ very hungry men!

Paul is taken to Governor Felix in Caesarea.

The letter:

Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix:
Greetings. 
   This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen. 
   I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin. I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment. 
   When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.

Felix agreed to hear Paul's case!
