Acts 23:12-15
12When it was day, 1the Jews formed a 2conspiracy and 3put themselves under an 4oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. 13There were more than forty who formed this plot. 14They came to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have 5put ourselves under an 6oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul. 15Now therefore, you 7and 8the 9Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to investigate his case more thoroughly; and as for us, we are ready to kill him before he comes near the place.”
