Acts 23:10-16

10And as a greatG4183 dissensionG4714 was developingG1096, the 1commanderG5506 was afraidG5399 PaulG3972 would be tornG1288 to piecesG1288 by them and orderedG2753 the troopsG4753 to goG2597 downG2597 and takeG726 him awayG726 from them by forceG726, and bringG71 him into 2the barracksG3925.

11But on 3the nightG3571 immediately followingG1897, the LordG2962 stoodG2186 at his side and saidG3004, “4TakeG2293 courageG2293; for 5as you have 6solemnlyG1263 witnessedG1263 to My causeG3588G4012 at JerusalemG2419, soG3779 you mustG1163 witnessG3140 at RomeG4516 alsoG2532.”

12When it was dayG2250, 7the JewsG2453 formedG4160 a 8conspiracyG4160 and 9boundG332 themselvesG1438 underG332 an oathG332, sayingG3004 that they would neitherG3383 eatG2068 norG3383 drinkG4095 untilG2193 they had killedG615 PaulG3972. 13There were moreG4183 than fortyG5065 who formedG4160 thisG3778 plotG4945. 14They cameG4334 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 and saidG3004, “We have 10boundG332 ourselvesG1438 underG332 a solemnG331 oathG332 to tasteG1089 nothingG3367 untilG2193 we have killedG615 PaulG3972. 15NowG3568 thereforeG3767, you 11and 12the 13CouncilG4892 notifyG1718 the 14commanderG5506 to bringG2609 him downG2609 to you, as thoughG5613 you were goingG3195 to determineG1231 his caseG3588G4012 by a moreG199 thoroughG199 investigationG199; and we for our part are readyG2092 to slayG337 him beforeG4253 he comesG1448 nearG1448 the place.”

16But the sonG5207 of Paul’sG3972 sisterG79 heardG191 of their ambushG1747, 15and he cameG3854 and enteredG1525 16the barracksG3925 and toldG518 PaulG3972.
