Acts 23:12-15

12The next morning a group of Jews got together and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

13There were more than forty of them in the conspiracy.

14They went to the leading priests and elders and told them, “We have bound ourselves with an oath to eat nothing until we have killed Paul.

15So you and the high council should ask the commander to bring Paul back to the council again. Pretend you want to examine his case more fully. We will kill him on the way.”
