A Conspiracy to Kill Paul: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 23, verses 12-22

¹² When it was day, the Jews formed a^econspiracy and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. ¹³ There were more than forty who formed this plot. ¹⁴ They came to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore, you^fand the^gCouncil notify the^hcommander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place.”

¹⁶ But the son of Paul’s sister heard of their ambush,ⁱand he came and entered the barracks and told Paul. ¹⁷ Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, “Lead this young man to the^jcommander, for he has something to report to him.” ¹⁸ So he took him and led him to the^kcommander and *said, “Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to lead this young man to you since he has something to tell you.” ¹⁹ The^lcommander took him by the hand and stepping aside, began to inquire of him privately, “What is it that you have to report to me?” ²⁰ And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the^mCouncil, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more thoroughly about him. ²¹ So do notⁿlisten to them, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they slay him; and now they are ready and waiting for the promise from you.” ²² So the^ocommander let the young man go, instructing him, “Tell no one that you have notified me of these things.”
