In this passage, the commander sends Paul on to Caesarea sneaking him out of Jerusalem even though he has almost five hundred men protecting him. He also sends Paul even though though he knows of no charges that are worthy of death or even chains. He explains to Festus, how the Jews were in rebellion and about to commit murder and that then they were attempting to assassinate Paul. In his letter, he doesn't think that Festus will be bothered by that, but he lies to make himself appear better by having rescued a Roman citizen. There is no interest in justice and he doesn't expect the one who he reports to to care about justice either. We see what happens so often in our culture. The punishment is toward the one who is innocent rather than dealing with the guilty. When we don't deal with sin, as the Roman commander fails to deal with the Jew's sin, it is those that don't have power who suffer.
