But I have not found him guilty of anything deserving death. Since he has appealed to the Ruler of the People of Iron (Caesar), I will send him to Village of Iron (Rome).
I informed them that the laws of the People of Iron (Romans) would not permit me to hand over anyone until they could stand face to face with their accusers and make a defense for themselves.
But before Small Man (Paul) could open his mouth to defend himself, the governor spoke to the Tribal Members. “If a wrong had been done or some kind of evil had been committed, then I would hear your accusations,” he said to them,
So after eight or ten more days he left for Chief Village (Caesarea). The next day he sat down in his council chair, where he would decide this case, and ordered Small Man (Paul) to be brought before him.
