15Now you, therefore, together with the council, explain to the commander that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you are going to determine more accurately the facts in his case; but we are ready to destroy him before he comes near.”
16But when Paul's sister's son heard about the ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
17So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has something to tell him.”
18So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
19So taking him by the hand, the commander went aside and asked privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
20So he said: “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
21But you should not believe them, because more than forty of their men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat not to drink until they have destroyed him; even now they are ready, looking for your promise.”
