ISB ~ Acts 23 v25 - 30

It was customary for a subordinate (tribune) to send a written explanation to his superior (procurator) about the transference of a prisoner. As told by the tribune, the facts of the story are rearranged to cover up his own mistakes:he did not learn of Paul’s citizenship when he rescued the apostle from the angry crowd (23:27), but only when he was about to have him scourged (22:24-29).
