Deeds (Act) of Apostles 23:12-18

¹²And when the day was come, some of the Jews gathered them, and made a vow, and said, that they should neither eat, nor drink, till they slew Paul.

¹³And there were more than forty men, that made this swearing together or conjuration.

¹⁴And they went to the princes of priests, and elder men, and said, With devotion we have avowed, that we shall not taste anything, till we have slain Paul.

¹⁵Now therefore make ye known to the tribune, with the council, that he bring him forth to you, as if ye should know something more certainly of him; and we be ready to slay him, before that he come nigh.

¹⁶And when the son of Paul’s sister had heard the ambush or the treason, he came, and entered into the castles, and told to Paul.

¹⁷And Paul called to him one of the centurions, and said, Lead this young man to the tribune, for he hath something to show to him.

¹⁸And he took him, and led to the tribune, and said, Paul, that is bound, prayed me to lead to thee this young man, that hath something to speak to thee.
