Acts 23:16-22

16But the sonG5207 of Paul’sG3972 sisterG79 heardG191 about their ambushG1747, 1and he cameG3854 and enteredG1525 2the barracksG3925 and toldG518 PaulG3972.

17PaulG3972 calledG4341 oneG1520 of the centurionsG1543 to himself and saidG5346, “TakeG520 thisG3778 youngG3494 manG3494 to the commanderG5506, for he hasG2192 somethingG5100 to reportG518 to him.”

18SoG3767 he tookG3880 him and ledG71 him to the commanderG5506 and saidG5346, “PaulG3972 3the prisonerG1198 calledG4341 me overG4341 to him and askedG2065 me to bringG71 thisG3778 youngG3495 manG3495 to you because he hasG2192 somethingG5100 to tellG2980 you.”

19The commanderG5506 tookG1949 him by the handG5495, and steppingG402 asideG402, began to inquireG4441 of him privatelyG2596G2398, “WhatG5101 is it that you haveG2192 to reportG518 to me?”

20And he saidG3004, “4The JewsG2453 have agreedG4934 to askG2065 you to bringG2609 PaulG3972 downG2609 tomorrowG839 to 5the 6CouncilG4892, asG5613 thoughG5613 they wereG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 inquireG4441 somewhatG5100 moreG199 thoroughlyG199 aboutG4012 him.

21SoG3767 do not 7listenG3982 to them, for moreG4183 than fortyG5065 8of them are 9in hidingG1748 toG1748 ambushG1748 him, and theseG3748 menG3748 have 10putG332 themselvesG1438 underG332 anG332 oathG332 not to eatG2068 orG3383 drinkG4095 untilG2193 they killG337 him; and nowG3568 they are readyG2092 and waitingG4327 for assuranceG1860 from you.”

22ThenG3767 the commanderG5506 letG630 the youngG3495 manG3495 goG630, instructingG3853 him, “TellG1583 noG3367 oneG3367 that you have notifiedG1718 me of theseG3778 thingsG3778.”
