Acts 23:15-24

¹⁵Now therefore do ye with the council give notice to the chief captain, that he bring him down to you, as though ye were about to examine his case more thoroughly; and we are ready to kill him before he cometh near you.

¹⁶But Paul's sister's son hearing of the plot went, and entering the castle, told Paul.

¹⁷Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Take this young man to the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.

¹⁸So he took him and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this young man to thee, as he hath something to say to thee.

¹⁹Then the chief captain took him by the hand and went aside privately, and asked him, What is it that thou hast to tell me?

²⁰And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though thou wert about to inquire more thoroughly concerning him.

²¹But do not thou yield to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and they are now ready, looking for the promise from thee.

²²The chief captain then dismissed the young man with the charge, Tell no one that thou hast disclosed these things to me.

²³And he called to him two of the centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at the third hour of the night;

²⁴and provide beasts, whereon they may set Paul, and carry him safe to Felix the governor.
