³ So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

⁵⁷ And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

⁵⁴ And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

¹⁷ And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him.

¹⁸ So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.

¹⁹ And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?

²⁰ And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.

²¹ But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.

²² So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.

¹⁰ And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.

²⁷ And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.

²⁸ And the chief captain said, I got Roman rights for myself at a great price. And Paul said, But I had them by birth.

³⁷ And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek?

³¹ And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.

²⁷ The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.

²¹ So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house.
