Gevurot 23:20-22

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁰ And the bochur said, "The Judeans agreed to ask you to bring Rav Sha’ul down machar (tomorrow) to the Sanhedrin as if intending to inquire something more accurate concerning him.

²¹ "Therefore, you should not be persuaded by them, for more than arba’im anashim are lying in wait for him and these took a shevu’ah upon themselves neither to eat nor to drink until they have assassinated him, and now they are ready, waiting for your consent."

²² Therefore, the tribune dismissed the bochur, ordering him, "Tell no one that you reported these things to me."
