Acts 23:12-18

¹²And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.

¹³And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.

¹⁴Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.

¹⁵Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.

¹⁶Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.

¹⁷And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.

¹⁸And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
