 13And they were more than forty who had joined together in this oath;
 14and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.
 15Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.

 17And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.
 18He therefore, having taken him with him, led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to him and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.
 19And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to me?
 20And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him.
 21Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.

 26Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
 27This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out of their hands, having learned that he was a Roman.
 28And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
 29whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him making him worthy of death or of bonds.
 30But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man by the Jews, I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. Farewell. (Acts 23:12‑30)
