Acts 23:14-15

14They came to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have 1bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul. 15Now therefore, you 2and 3the 4Council notify the 5commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place.”
