Acts 23:10-16

10And when a greatG4183 dissensionG4714 occurredG1096, the commanderG5506 wasG5399 afraidG5399 that PaulG3972 would be tornG1288 toG1288 piecesG1288 by them, and he orderedG2753 the troopsG4753 to goG2597 downG2597 and takeG726 him awayG726 from them byG726 forceG726, and bringG71 him into 1the barracksG3925.

11But on 2the followingG1897 nightG3571, the LordG2962 stoodG2186 nearG2186 him and saidG3004, “3BeG2293 courageousG2293! For 4as you have 5testifiedG1263 to the truth aboutG4012 Me in JerusalemG2419, soG3779 you mustG1163 testifyG3140 in RomeG4516 alsoG2532.”

12When it was dayG2250, 6the JewsG2453 formedG4160 a 7conspiracyG4963 and 8putG332 themselvesG1438 underG332 anG332 9oathG332, 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 10putG332 ourselvesG1438 underG332 anG332 11oathG332 to tasteG1089 nothingG3367 untilG2193 we have killedG615 PaulG3972. 15NowG3568 thereforeG3767, you 12and 13the 14CouncilG4892 notifyG1718 the commanderG5506 to bringG2609 him downG2609 to you, asG5613 thoughG5613 you wereG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 investigateG1231 his caseG3588G4012 moreG199 thoroughlyG199; and as for us, we are readyG2092 to killG337 him beforeG4253 he comesG1448 nearG1448 the place.”

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