Acts 23:12-24

12And when it was dayG2250, the JewsG2453, having banded together, putG615 themselves under a curse, sayingG3004 that they would neither eatG2068 nor drinkG4095 till they should killG615 PaulG3972.

13And they wereG1510 moreG4183 than fortyG5062 who had joined together in this oath;

14and they went to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and eldersG4245, and saidG3004, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to tasteG1089 nothingG3367 until we killG615 PaulG3972.

15NowG1161 thereforeG3767 do ye with the councilG4892 makeG1718 a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bringG2609 him downG2609 to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, areG1510 readyG2092 to kill him.

16But Paul's sister's sonG5207, having heardG191 of the lying in wait, cameG3854 and enteredG1525 into the fortress and reportedG518 [it] to PaulG3972.

17And PaulG3972, having calledG4341 oneG1520 of the centurionsG1543, saidG5346, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has somethingG5100 to reportG518 to him.

18He thereforeG3767, having takenG3880 him with [him], ledG71 him to the chiliarch, and saysG2980, The prisonerG1198 PaulG3972 calledG4341 me to [him] and askedG2065 me to leadG71 this youth to thee, who has somethingG5100 to sayG2980 to thee.

19And the chiliarch having taken him by the handG5495, and having gone apart in private, inquiredG4441, What isG1510 it that thou hast to reportG518 to me?

20And he saidG3004, The JewsG2453 have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bringG2609 PaulG3972 downG2609 to-morrow into the councilG4892, as about to inquireG4441 somethingG5100 more precise concerningG4012 him.

21Do not thou then beG1510 persuadedG3982 by them, for there lie in wait for him of them moreG4183 than fortyG5062 menG435, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eatG2068 nor drinkG4095 till they kill him; and nowG3568 they areG1510 readyG2092 waitingG4327 the promiseG1860 from thee.

22The chiliarch thenG3767 dismissedG630 the youth, commandingG3853 [him], Utter to no oneG3367 that thou hast represented these thingsG3778 to me.

23And having called to [him] certainG5100 twoG1417 of the centurionsG1543, he saidG3004, PrepareG2090 twoG1417 hundredG1250 soldiersG4757 that they may goG4198 as farG2193 as CaesareaG2542, and seventyG1440 horsemenG2460, and twoG1417 hundredG1250 light-armed footmen, for the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the nightG3571.

24And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set PaulG3972 on them and carry [him] safe through to FelixG5344 the governorG2232,
