Acts 23:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ “Tomorrow,” he told him, “the Jews are going to ask you to bring Paul before the Council again, pretending they want to get some more information. ²¹ But don’t do it! There are more than forty men hiding along the road ready to jump him and kill him. They have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink till he is dead. They are out there now, expecting you to agree to their request.”

²² “Don’t let a soul know you told me this,” the commander warned the boy as he left.
