Acts 23:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ And he replied, The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council (Sanhedrin) tomorrow, as if [they were] intending to examine him more exactly.

²¹ But do not yield to their persuasion, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush waiting for him, having bound themselves by an oath and under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and even now they are all ready, [just] waiting for your promise.

²² So the commandant sent the youth away, charging him, Do not disclose to anyone that you have given me this information.
