The next day Paul went with us to visit James [the Lord’s half-brother and a leader in the Jerusalem church], with all of the elders [of the Jerusalem church] being present.
But the next day the commander released Paul [from the chains] because he wanted to know what specific charges the Jews had against him. So, he ordered the leading priests and the entire [Jewish] Council to assemble, then brought Paul down and placed him in front of them.
The next night the Lord stood beside Paul [in a supernatural dream] and said, “Take courage, for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also be my witness in Rome.”
Then he called two of his officers and said, “Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, along with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, by nine o’clock tonight.” [Note: This was calculated according to Jewish time].
Five days later the head priest, Ananias, came down [to Caesarea] with certain [Jewish] elders and an attorney [named] Tertullus, who brought their case against Paul before the governor.
