Acts 23:12‑30• 12And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
 13And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
 14And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
 15Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
 16And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
 17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
 18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
 19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
 20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
 21But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
 22So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me.
 23And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
 24And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
 25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
 26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
 27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
 28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
 29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

 5Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
