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.
