Paul's enemies in Jerusalem took an oath
among themselves to kill him When the
Roman commander learned of the plot,
he sent Paul under an armed guard to
Caesarea.
Caesarea was the residence of the Roman
governor of Judea. The commander sent
the following letter to Governor Felix:

"To His Excellency, Governor Felix:
Greetings.
"The Jews seized this man and were
about to kill him. I Iearned that he was a
Roman citizen, so I went with my soldiers
and rescued him. I decided to send him
to you. I have told his accusers to make
their charges against him before you.
Acts 23:24-30
The governor summoned Paul and said,
"I will hear you when your accusers
arrive." Then he gave orders for Paul to
