Acts 24:7
_ _ But ... Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him out of our hands — a willful falsehood and calumnious charge against a public officer. He had commanded the Sanhedrim to meet for no other purpose than to “judge him according to their law”; and only when, instead of doing so, they fell to disputing among themselves, and the prisoner was in danger of being “pulled in pieces of them” (Acts 23:10) — or as his own letter says “killed of them” (Acts 23:27) — did he rescue him, as was his duty, “by force” out of their hands. |

Acts 21:31-33 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. ... Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
Acts 23:23-32 And he called unto [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; ... On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
