26 Cláudio Lísias, a Félix, excelentíssimo governador, saudações.

27 Este homem foi preso pelos judeus, e estando já a ponte de o matarem, eu vim com a tropa e [o] tomei, ao ser informado que ele era romano.

28 E eu, querendo saber a causa por que o acusavam, levei-o ao supremo conselho deles.

29 O qual eu achei que acusavam de algumas questões da Lei deles; mas que nenhum crime digno de morte ou de prisão havia contra ele.
