Acts 23:26

24 and provide mounts to set Paul on, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”

25 He wrote a letter in the following manner:

26 Claudius Lysias,
To the most excellent governor Felix:
Greetings.

27 ^aThis man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

28 ^aAnd when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.

29 I found out that he was accused ^aconcerning questions of their law, ^bbut had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains.

30 And ^awhen it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and ^balso commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him.
Farewell.

31 Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

32 The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the barracks.

Most excellent (kratistw). See on Luke 1:3 to Theophilus though not in Acts 1:1. It is usual in addressing men of rank as here, like our "Your Excellency" in Acts 24:3 and Paul uses it to Festus in Acts 26:25.

Greeting (xairein). Absolute infinitive with independent or absolute nominative (Klaudiov Lusiav) as is used in letters (Acts 15:23; James 1:1) and in countless papyri (Robertson, Grammar, p. 1092).
