Acts 23:31-35
31 Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris. 32 The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the barracks. 33 When they came to Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him. 34 And when the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. And when he understood that he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, “I will hear you when your accusers also have come.” And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
Paul was escorted in safety to Caesarea to be presented to the provincial governor. There the commander’s letter was given concerning the riotous mob and Paul's situation as a Roman citizen. So he was kept in the Praetorium headquarters until his accusers arrived to present their case. So the legal system of the Roman occupation was helping a Roman Jew being hunted for spreading the gospel he once himself attacked and hunted those followers of it. God turned Saul into Paul to suffer for and spread these good words of life, and protected him until it was accomplished.
