• Jeremiah 38:26

  then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”

• Matthew 14:3

• Matthew 14:4

  For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

• Matthew 14:5

  When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

• Matthew 14:6

  But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

• Matthew 14:7

  Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

• Matthew 14:8

• Matthew 14:10

  and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

• Matthew 14:11

• Matthew 26:48

• Matthew 26:49

• Matthew 26:51

  Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

• Matthew 26:52

  Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

• Matthew 26:53

  Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

• Matthew 26:54

  How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

• Matthew 26:55

  In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

• Matthew 26:56

  But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

• Matthew 26:57

  Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

• Matthew 26:58

  But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

• Matthew 26:59

  Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

• Matthew 26:60

  and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

• Matthew 26:61

  and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

• Matthew 26:62

  The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

• Matthew 26:63

  But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

• Matthew 26:64

  Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

• Matthew 26:65

  Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

• Matthew 26:66

  What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

• Matthew 26:67

  Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

• Matthew 26:68

  saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

• Matthew 26:69

  Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”

• Matthew 26:70

  But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

• Matthew 26:71

  When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

• Matthew 26:72

  Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”

• Matthew 26:73

  After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”

• Matthew 26:74

  Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

• Matthew 26:75

  Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.

• Matthew 27:26

  Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

• Mark 6:17

  For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.

• Mark 14:43

  Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came — and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

• Mark 14:44

  Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”

• Mark 14:45

  When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.

• Mark 14:46

  They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

• Mark 14:47

  But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

• Mark 14:48

  Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

• Mark 14:49

  I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

• Mark 14:50

  They all left him, and fled.

• Mark 14:51

  A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

• Mark 14:52

  but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

• Mark 14:53

  They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

• Mark 14:54

  Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

• Mark 14:55

  Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

• Mark 14:56

  For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.

• Mark 14:57

  Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

• Mark 14:58

  “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

• Mark 14:59

  Even so, their testimony did not agree.

• Mark 14:60

  The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”

• Mark 14:61

  But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

• Mark 14:62

  Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

• Mark 14:63

  The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?

• Mark 14:64

  You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

• Mark 14:65

  Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

• Mark 14:66

  As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

• Mark 14:67

  and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”

• Mark 14:68

  But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

• Mark 14:69

  The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”

• Mark 14:70

  But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”

• Mark 14:71

  But he began to curse, and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”

• Mark 14:72

  The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

• Luke 3:20

  added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

• Luke 22:47

  While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

• Luke 22:48

  But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

• Luke 22:49

  When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

• Luke 22:50

  A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

• Luke 22:51

  But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this” — and he touched his ear, and healed him.

• Luke 22:52

  Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

• Luke 22:53

  When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

• Luke 22:54

  They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

• Luke 22:55

  When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

• Luke 22:56

  A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

• Luke 22:57

  He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

• Luke 22:58

  After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”

• Luke 22:59

  After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

• Luke 22:60

  But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

• Luke 22:61

  The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”

• Luke 22:62

  He went out, and wept bitterly.

• Luke 22:63

  The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

• Luke 22:64

  Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

• Luke 22:65

  They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

• Luke 22:66

  As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

• Luke 22:67

  “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,

• Luke 22:68

  and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.

• Luke 22:69

  From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

• Luke 22:70

  They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”

• Luke 22:71

  They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”

• John 18:3

  Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

• John 18:4

  Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”

• John 18:5

  They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

• John 18:6

  When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward, and fell to the ground.

• John 18:7

  Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

• John 18:8

  Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”

• John 18:9

  that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”

• John 18:10

  Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

• John 18:11

  Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”

• John 18:12

  So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,

• John 18:13

  and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

• John 18:14

  Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

• John 18:15

  Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

• John 18:16

  but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

• John 18:17

  Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

  Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

• John 18:19

  The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.

• John 18:20

  Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

• John 18:21

  Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.”

• John 18:22

  When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

• John 18:23

  Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”

• John 18:24

  Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

• John 18:25

  Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”

• John 18:26

  One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”

• John 18:27

  Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

• John 18:28

  They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

• John 18:29

  Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”

• John 18:30

  They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

• John 18:31

  Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,”

• John 18:32

  that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

• John 18:33

  Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

• John 18:34

  Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”

• John 18:35

  Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”

• John 18:36

  Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”

• John 18:37

  Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

• John 18:38

  Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.

• John 18:39

  But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

• John 18:40

  Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

• Acts 5:17

  But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

• Acts 5:18

  and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.

• Acts 5:19

  But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,

• Acts 5:20

  “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

• Acts 5:21

  When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

• Acts 5:22

  But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

• Acts 5:23

  “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

• Acts 5:24

  Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

• Acts 5:25

  One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

• Acts 5:26

  Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

• Acts 5:27

  When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

• Acts 5:28

  saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

• Acts 5:29

  But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

• Acts 5:30

  The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

• Acts 5:31

  God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

• Acts 5:32

  We are His witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

• Acts 5:33

  But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

• Acts 5:34

  But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

• Acts 5:35

  He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

• Acts 5:36

  For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.

• Acts 5:37

  After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

• Acts 5:38

  Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

• Acts 5:39

  But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

• Acts 5:40

  They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

• Acts 5:41

  They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

• Acts 5:42

  Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

• Acts 12:3

  When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.

• Acts 12:4

  When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

• Acts 12:5

  Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.

• Acts 12:6

  The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.

• Acts 12:7

  And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off from his hands.

• Acts 12:8

  The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak, and follow me.”

• Acts 12:9

  And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.

• Acts 12:10

  When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

• Acts 12:11

  When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”

• Acts 12:12

  Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

• Acts 12:13

  When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

• Acts 12:14

  When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

• Acts 12:15

  They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”

• Acts 12:16

  But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.

• Acts 12:17

  But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James, and to the brothers.” Then he departed, and went to another place.

• Acts 12:18

  Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

• Acts 12:19

  When Herod had sought for him, and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.

• Acts 16:19

  But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

• Acts 16:20

  When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,

• Acts 16:21

  and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”

• Acts 16:22

  The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

• Acts 16:23

  When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,

• Acts 16:24

  who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

• Acts 16:25

  But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

• Acts 16:26

  Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

• Acts 16:27

  The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

• Acts 16:28

  But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”

• Acts 16:29

  He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

• Acts 16:30

  brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

• Acts 16:31

  They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

• Acts 16:32

  They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

• Acts 16:33

  He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

• Acts 16:34

  He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.

• Acts 16:35

  But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”

• Acts 16:36

  The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace.”

• Acts 16:37

  But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

• Acts 16:38

  The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

• Acts 16:39

  and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

• Acts 16:40

  They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.

• Acts 21:27

  When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

• Acts 21:28

  crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”

• Acts 21:29

  For they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

• Acts 21:30

  All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

• Acts 21:31

  As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

• Acts 21:32

  Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

• Acts 21:33

  Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

• Acts 21:34

  Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.

• Acts 21:35

  When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

• Acts 21:36

  for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”

• Acts 21:37

  As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?

• Acts 21:38

  Aren’t you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

• Acts 21:39

  But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”

• Acts 21:40

  When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

• Acts 22:24

  the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.

• Acts 24:23

  He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
