Acts 23:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside privately, and asked him, “What is it you have to tell me?”

²⁰ The boy said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Sanhedrin, pretending to inquire further concerning him. ²¹ Do not trust them. More than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him, are waiting for him. And now they are ready, waiting for your promise.”
