Acts 23:27-29

Amplified Bible

This man was seized [as a prisoner] by the Jews and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon him with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen. ²⁸ And wanting to know the exact charge which they were making against him, I brought him down to their Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court); ²⁹ and I discovered that he was accused in regard to questions and issues in their Law, but [he was] under no accusation that would call for the penalty of death or [even] for imprisonment.
