Acts 23:13-17

There were more than forty who formed this plot.

They came to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have put ourselves under an oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

Now therefore, you and the Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to investigate his case more thoroughly; and as for us, we are ready to kill him before he comes near the place.”

But the son of Paul’s sister heard about their ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.

Paul called one of the centurions to himself and said, “Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him.”
