Acts 23:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul to morrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.

²¹ But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.

²² The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
