Acts 23:20-35
He replied,“ The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as if they were going to inquire more thoroughly about him.So do not let them persuade you to do this, because more than forty of them are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request.”Then the commanding officer sent the young man away, directing him,“ Tell no one that you have reported these things to me.”Then he summoned two of the centurions and said,“ Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea along with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen by nine o’clock tonight,and provide mounts for Paul to ride so that he may be brought safely to Felix the governor.”He wrote a letter that went like this:Claudius Lysias to His Excellency Governor Felix, greetings.This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, when I came up with the detachment and rescued him, because I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.Since I wanted to know what charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down to their council.I found he was accused with reference to controversial questions about their law, but no charge against him deserved death or imprisonment.When I was informed there would be a plot against this man, I sent him to you at once, also ordering his accusers to state their charges against him before you.So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him to Antipatris during the night.The next day they let the horsemen go on with him, and they returned to the barracks.When the horsemen came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.When the governor had read the letter, he asked what province he was from. When he learned that he was from Cilicia,he said,“ I will give you a hearing when your accusers arrive too.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.

Jeremiah 15:15-21
I said,“ LORD, you know how I suffer. Take thought of me and care for me. Pay back for me those who have been persecuting me. Do not be so patient with them that you allow them to kill me. Be mindful of how I have put up with their insults for your sake.As your words came to me I drank them in, and they filled my heart with joy and happiness because I belong to you.I did not spend my time in the company of other people, laughing and having a good time. I stayed to myself because I felt obligated to you and because I was filled with anger at what they had done.Why must I continually suffer such painful anguish? Why must I endure the sting of their insults like an incurable wound? Will you let me down when I need you like a brook one goes to for water, but that cannot be relied on?”Because of this, the LORD said,“ You must repent of such words and thoughts! If you do, I will restore you to the privilege of serving me. If you say what is worthwhile instead of what is worthless, I will again allow you to be my spokesman. They must become as you have been. You must not become like them.I will make you as strong as a wall to these people, a fortified wall of bronze. They will attack you, but they will not be able to overcome you. For I will be with you to rescue you and deliver you,” says the LORD.“ I will deliver you from the power of the wicked. I will free you from the clutches of violent people.”
