LYSIAS, CLAUDIUS. - Roman military tribune who commanded the garrison of the Antonia tower in Jerusalem. He saved Paul from lynching: mistaking him for an Egyptian rebel, he had him put in chains. On learning that he was a Roman citizen, he released him and sent him to the Sanhedrin, but, informed by Paul's nephew of a conspiracy, he sent him under good escort to Caesarea (Acts 21:30-40; 22:24-30; 23:12-33; cf. 21:7 and 22) to the procurator Felix (v.).
