[33] Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
I would say that the Jews had already bound him (as they were beating him, and it can be rather difficult to hit a moving target); it was the Romans who commanded Paul bound with two chains (additional restraint, because the Word of God is not in error)

Well as long as we are discussing theology, lets use a common law from Hermeneutics, the arguement from Silence, seeing that we do not have every prophecy uttered in the NT we really can't assume that prophets or those that gave prophetic words didn't give accurate words.
But we can assume that there was that possiblity, thus the admonitions to test and judge (discern) words from God.
