Disciples’ Literal New Testament
27 I rescued this man having been seized by the Jews and being about to be killed by them, having come-suddenly-upon them with the troop— having learned that he was a Roman[a]. 28 And wanting to know the reason for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin— 29 whom I found being accused about issues of their Law, but having no accusation[b] worthy of death or imprisonment.

29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
