Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Farewell.Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought[ him] by night to Antipatris.On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.And when the governor had read[ the letter], he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that[ he was] of Cilicia;I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
