There was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment

Acts 23:12-35

The next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul. More than forty men were involved in this plot. They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul. Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him before you on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”

But when the son of Paul’s sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.

Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.” So he took him to the commander.

The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don’t tell anyone that you have reported this to me.” Then he called two of his centurions and ordered them, “Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at nine tonight. Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”

 He wrote a letter as follows: ...This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen. I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin. I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment. When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.

The governor read the letter and asked what province he was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia, he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers get here.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.

Why?

The Jews look at the laws as more important than love and salvation. But for the sins of men, no one could be the level of the Law says.

There was no hope and no way to get eternal life, so the Lord arranged for Jesus to come to this world and gave us the way of salvation.

The government seemed against the Jews, but actually protected and helped Christians, like Paul.

Who is really the son of the Lord, we don't know, but in the end, all will be revealed before the Lord.

This is the work of the Lord that let this murder message be known and the commander sent Paul to Caesarea. To keep the life of Paul.

How?

Do an effort to obey the word of the Lord preach the gospel to others and make a good witness every day in my life. 

Don't worry about anything, I belong to the Lord, For any trouble or unknown things the Lord has the best arrangement for me.
