Fare well. 31 And the soldiers as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night unto Antipatras. 32 And on the morrow when they had sent away the horsemen that they might go with him, they returned to the camp. 33 When they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the epistle to the governor, they presented Paul also before him. 34 And when the governor had read it, and had asked of what province he was and had known that he was of Cilicia, 35 I will hear thee, saith he, when thine accusers are come.
