Acts 23:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire more thoroughly into his case. ²¹ But do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they kill him. They are ready now and are waiting for your consent.” ²² So the tribune dismissed the young man, ordering him, “Tell no one that you have informed me of this.”
